ICE is also majorly targeting Black people. Doesn't matter if you "were born here." They are harassing people left, right and center.

The mind is a pet server

A human is poor computer

Every long workload is followed by a maintenance period

The hardest thing to program and predict are humans.

for some reason back in 2017, I decided to make a website to make fake video game screenshots. This was a good idea and made a lot of people laugh.

As an experiment, we (the Firefox team) wanted to try a new way to get feedback on which Interop proposals matter most.

So, here's a web app where you can rank the proposals you care about, giving us data we can use when reviewing which ones to champion.
