It sucks that good mobile games just basically don't exist.
All we have are microtransaction casinos, and relentless adware.
Occasionally, I'll find a rare decent game that isn't either of those, but it's always clearly made for a tablet, illegible and unplayable on a mobile screen.

My five-year-old often wants a band-aid on any scrape, bump or bruise, even if the injury is not bleeding and wouldn't otherwise call for it.
He swears the band-aid makes it feel better, even though I know it's actually doing nothing. So I usually just give in, because although it's mostly pointless, having it there lets us both move past it and focus on other things.
Anyway, this is a story about most of the automated testing I've encountered in my dev career.

Mastodon FeedAuthentication with U2F keys (AKA Fido or Yubikey) works well for me. It's phishing-proof and as easy as tapping a button. I'm not in a rush to try #Passkeys.

I truly believe that Jack Dorsey believes he has the ability to create life.
I think he thinks of #Twitter as something he has literally spawned. And if not as his child, a wooden boy he will soon make real.
That's why he cosplays a deity. That's why he pretends to give a fuck about freedom of speech, because he gave the world his only begotten son, and no one should be deprived of his sentient code puppet.
That, and, he wants to kill digital privacy so the FTC stops being mean to him.

Someday, I might be looking for a job again. If that happens, I *might* decide to finally click that LinkedIn Premium free trial banner I've been ignoring for years.
If I do, it'll go in the record books as a win for that design. I'll be part of some tiny boost in conversion in some A/B test, and it'll inform the next interation of that same ubiquitous pop-up.
But it never mattered.
I just clicked it when it was time to click it.
This is why I mistrust most analytics.

Thanks everyone! We closed the loop!
Most websites are now publishing algorithmic generated content in order to please ranking algorithms from search engines in order to display generated ads that will be clicked by crawling bots and automatically generated social profiles.
No humans needed any more!
Which means that you can now close your laptop, watch a sunset and talk to real humans near you. Enjoy your life far from your screen.
