Your friend or family member hasn't started acting for "attention" or to get a medication or whatever. They've *stopped* acting. The person you *thought* you knew was only a façade constructed for protection . You only saw the armor they put on everyday, not them. Now that they've learned their differences aren't "their fault" or because "they are broken" or whatever, they can let their guard down. For maybe the first time in their life, they aren't forcing themselves to be who they aren't. 3/4

Observation: if you're someone who angrily rants about how terrible a bunch of software is: chances are extremely high you've never actually built any notable software used by non-trivial amounts of people. It's almost as if reading many many people shredding your work to pieces on the internet makes you mildly less inclined to do the same to others. Who could have guessed?

https://www.pcgamer.com/valve-steam-deck-oled-announcement/ reports Valve making a OLED Steam Deck. I'm pretty happy with mine, the lowest model of the second batch. Frankly, it's not "just" a console to me, it's a whole separate computer that I have to maintain (but in a kinda fun way and with a journaled file system so rolling back is easy). For more causal folk, this might be the model they've been waiting for. A brighter screen, more power and it's lighter? (https://jacky.wtf/2023/11/mOe5)

Listened to 'Tis The Grinch Holiday Talk Show: E1: A Christmas Countdown Already?! with Olympian Shawn Johnson East
Post details
From the top of Mt. Crumpit, it’s the very first episode of ’Tis The Grinch Holiday Talk Show! The OG green grump (voiced by SNL’s James Austin Johnson) has been ordered to host his very own talk show as a punishment for that little misunderstanding where he tried to “steal” Christmas. On this episode, he unveils his (slightly questionable) advent calendar, plays a game of “Name That Sound,” and chats from the desk with special guest Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East! She says Santa would never cut it on the balance beam. Your move, Santa!

In today's #NaBloPoMo article I wrote about my experience of the misjudged emails I received from AirBnB earlier this year, and the impact that had. This experience reaffirmed for me that Sara Wachter-Boettcher and @Meyerweb@mastodon.social's book Design for Real Life is as needed now as it was in 2016. #ContentDesign #UXWriting https://amyhupe.co.uk/articles/its-almost-time-for-your-trip/
