You see a detective on the TV and he’s interviewing all the suspects asking them what they were doing on the night of the murder a month ago last Tuesday night.
And on the TV, the suspects all know. Right away.
If you asked me ten years ago though, I’d have had barely any clue. If you’re lucky it’d have been something planned in my calendar but mostly, dunno. Watching TV maybe? No idea what show. Was that a night I was in the pub?
As we all get older this problem increases I’m told. Eventually full on senility sets in.
But what if you have already built the habit to record what you’re doing? To be able to look back and revise and review how you spent your days? An external aid as a crutch to your own forgetful brain’s cortex?
So I started this Exocortex Log over a decade ago and now I can answer: Ten years ago on Tuesday I was having dinner with the guitarist from my band and his girlfriend and they burned the pudding.
The app has been half finished and barely able to even record let alone review for most of that time, but now it’s ready enough that someone else might use it too if they want.

What @… said here, and so well said.
Note that deciding it’s the wrong time to rub somebody’s nose in how incredibly wrong they were doesn’t make them any less wrong. Listening is not the same thing as accepting. Sometimes it’s a moment to say “you dumbass,” and sometimes it’s a moment to say “And how did that work out for you?” The wise know the difference.
People who were taken in by the likes of these scammers •can• walk out of it in moments of cognitive dissonance — and if you’re in a position to do what Luna describes with someone you know, you might just change a life.

Please help with his fundraiser as he will need additional funds as he recovers:

Holy shit, Webflow.
I understand you may not have anyone on staff to review this LLM-generated ARIA explainer, but you’ve mostly just convinced me your product is a lawsuit-in-waiting.
I’m sorry most of your customers won’t recognize that.

Many assistive tools, such as screen readers and voice control, better engage with websites when the HTML includes ARIA rules — telling a screen reader, for example, where a button is or what it does so visitors with visual disabilities can still use it.
Why use ARIA? Using ARIA in your code gives a wider audience access to your content. It can also ensure your projects comply with web accessibility rules like the WCAG, another WAI best practice.

Unsure if I've even mentioned this anywhere before,
but I've maintain a "Steam Curator" page for the last few years, keeping a log of how well games handle custom keyboard layouts - feel free to follow it if you want to see a note on Steam Store pages telling you whether a game's keybind settings are up-to-snuff:

Steam Curator: Can You Change The Keybinds, aka Colemak Gamers
Details on which games, at the time of review, had customizable keybinds - and to what extent. (No, a "DVORAK" switch is not enough, developers!)
