reposting for the day crowd: I ran into a memcmp implementation that only compared 25% of the bytes, and the issue wasn't caught in the build because the vendor toolchain failed to emit a warning.

About trans rights:

They're a wedge issue. If you think it's okay to deprive trans people of the right to exist in the public sphere then you're saying human rights are conditional and/or can be withdrawn. Which puts you on a slippery slope to no human rights for anyone.

When you trace the roots of the modern anti-trans movement they boil down to some combination of bigotry and billionaire bullshit— the oligarchs think rights are for the rich.

So: trans-rights are human rights. No exceptions.

Well, I’m super fucked. The GoFundMe didn’t do as well as I hoped (https://gofund.me/ec9a1bbc8) and April’s rent is due in a few days. I can’t get evicted again, but it looks like that’s the way things are going.

I had some unexpected medical expenses in March because I couldn’t afford November’s health insurance premium and these companies all decided to charge me in March.

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility!
We're everywhere and we're cool.

I'm 19 months into unemployment due to illness, and I just got a letter that my earlier payment for storage didn't go through, and I have until the 1st to pay 2000$ or they're auctioning off my storage, which has 12 years of games & retrotech.

Any help you can spare would be amazing.

With Mac apps just all over the place (react native, AI slop, Catalyst apps, Mobile-first apps)... I thought I'd maybe try to rein it in a bit with this new article I have published.

It is not exhaustive and it is not done yet (I have more items to add) -- but I thought I'd share it now.

It's a checklist of things you can do to your #macOS app to make it feel more Mac-y. These are in response to things (even simple, obvious things) that I just don't see anymore. :(

Another good reason to write #imagedescriptions :

You will look more closely at the image and be less likely to be tricked by an AI generated image. This is also the case for finding the attribution for images where possible.
