someone made a very pretty #transgender firefox icon. I shared it in the pride channel at work, and someone was like "OMG would totally change my icon if i could" and i was like... "You can!" but it required a few steps of prep (like making an icns file of it).

Instructions on how to replace the icon on macOS in 2nd attached image

Thank goodness, hopefully this will prevent people learning that Sci-Hub which hosts 85 million scientific research papers. Absolutely do not search Google for sci-hub to gain access to 85 million scientific research papers for free. Don't retweet this. Piracy is wrong. https://twitter.com/campuscodi/status/1347551800338112513

how did we ever let a situation happen where there was simultaneously a company called Oracle and a product called Delphi and they had nothing at all to do with each other.
we failed as an industry.
Having a tough time using Microsoft's Accessibility Insights tool because the overlay text it draws doesn't respect the screen DPI, so it's too small for me to read.
amazing. beautiful. transcendent. 10/10. no notes.

Who would win: decades of science not caring about us and being woefully underfunded to the point that the results of most studies are inconclusive
Or
One trans woman on reddit who bought a drug online and it totally worked for her (she has pictures and measurements and data on her regimen)
dog help me, I've published a PowerShell module.
https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/MozconfigWrapper
the good news is, it's only useful for people who a) work on Firefox and/or other Gecko apps, and b) want to do so from PowerShell and not any other shell.
which means the entire audience is almost certainly me.

I've been working with my colleague @jcsteh@twitter.com on making some Mozilla stuff more screenreader friendly, and he's just the absolute greatest. It's great to see him being featured here as one of the creators of NVDA!

I say this sincerely, and as someone who appreciates and develops open source software: one advantage to making your social media platform closed source is that it's not immediately overrun with people posting about free open source software.
It honestly might be a better move to start closed source, grow your user base, and *then* make it open source so the FLOSS nerds you attract can't overwhelm the platform
there's too many pokemon these days. it's overwhelming. the next game really should just get rid of half of them.
like some kind of pokemon snap.

Just had to block a "women in coding" account for propping blockchain scams. Like, I get it, if you want to waste your life savings and pump out CO₂ in order to make someone else rich for no reason, that's one thing.
If you prey on marginalized people to fuel your scam? No.
