"An Evening With John Petrucci & Jordan Rudess" is a stunning album of two #ProgMetal giants, demonstrating how intense and lyrical a duet of piano and electrical guitar can be. Especially the ballads — “Truth," ”State of Grace,” and “The Rena Song” — are true, and truly majestic, gems.

P.S.: I'd really love to hear what @rotnroll666 thinks of this.

Yet again, I'm running into the situation that I want to pick beneficiaries for an investment account, and the site requires entering a Social Security Number, and the phone field only supports US-format numbers.

Thank you so much to the narrow-minded designers, who very obviously cannot possibly imagine that an immigrant to one of the world’s most prominent immigrant nations would want to elect a beneficiary who lives outside the country.

Pasting a huge AI generated explanation to a problem in an issue or pull-request is nothing but RUDE. Don't do it. You look stupid and the receivers of that feel insulted.

We are humans. We communicate like humans. Fine, use the tools you like, but don't insult us.

I am spending this #GAAD at the Github Assistive Technology Hackathon and am enjoying the community of the event with so many other knowledgeable people interested in #a11y .

I have been working independently on two projects with accessibility features recently; improving keyboard accessibility in #Wireshark and an RTS game, Tribal Trouble (https://github.com/bondolo/tribaltrouble/) to which I recently added visually distinct selection rings (style in addition to color) and improved High Contrast features.

Think of @gruber what you will, but: nuggets of (#UX) wisdom such as this one could use a lot more "publicity" than being featured on one guy's blog. And yet it's his writing that quotes them all the time. 🤷‍♂️

Marvin Gaye's “What's Going On,” one of the greatest albums of all time, was released 55 years ago today. And its messages are just as relevant today as they were back then.
