There's a widespread perception that people become more conservative as they age.

This is true - but mostly on a technicality. Or rather, a few technicalities.

What the fuck.

I'm sure someone will boost this message in 2021 or 2022.

Hey, seriously: UX developers I am begging you, please stop following trends without reason. If a bunch of apps are following some new HIG that has real research and backing behind it, go wild. But stop assuming that companies like Google or Apple are actually designing their UXs with logic in mind and using them as a reference point. They're not.

My statement on DALL-E:

So it feels like each year I see something about an operation called Pridefall where people are meant to target those in the LGBTQ community and try to steal their accounts.

While I can't say for certain that this is actually real, I will take this opportunity to

Tankies are useful fools for fascist. As they're blind hatred of liberalism has led them to support fascism. Because in their view liberalism is fascism and because of that they serve the actual fascist well in their goal of trying to destroy the liberal world

Seeing more examples show up of GPT-backed SEO farms spewing out word salad to get clicks for either ad impressions or scam purposes.
