If everyone has to identify who they are on the internet

It will be leaked

(Perhaps also relatedly, having worked for quite a number of years in quantum computing, I've seen the harm that taking analogies literally can do to education. Analogies can be wonderful explanatory tools, but taking them literally means bringing a lot of approximations along for the ride. That's why I push back on things like "two places at once" that sound like factual descriptions, but that are actually extremely loose analogies.)

As a designer, I absolutely accept that the intent of some choices I make are not obvious to some people. However


When I deploy good contrast AND link underlines AND a clear link colour convention (and don’t pollute either of the latter two by using them on things which are not links)


there’s only so much that can reasonably be done to say “Hey, I’m a link”.

If people will not explore what is right in front of them, that’s something I cannot fix
