When I was growing up, we had operating systems that exposed a lot of the technical details about their inner workings, and websites that let us use code to customize them, like MySpace and Geocities. UX designers in tech have since optimized away most of the stuff that allowed and encouraged people to learn to use technology and now people get confused by files and browser tabs. And as the knowledge shrinks, more and more things have to be simplified away. I only ever see it as a one way road.

My new favorite site. Very much looking forward to seeing this grow.

Each year we release a fun set of wallpapers to help celebrate Pride Month. I’m really happy with how this year’s installment turned out. There’s almost 20 variants to choose between and each layout is special and uniquely designed, which is fitting. This was a team creation effort between @talosman
@piraino
and myself. No AI.

Today’s release is FREE to use in #WallarooApp for macOS and iOS or free to download via our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/posts/pride-2026-free-160071425

Enjoy! 🏳️‍🌈🥳🏳️‍⚧️🌈

“It's striking, concerning, disappointing, and saddening to think that members of the bar would forward cases to a court that don't exist, and to think that the lawyers on the other side of that didn’t read it for whatever reason, didn’t check it.”
