Remember the "You wouldn't steal a car" PSA? Turns out they pirated both the font AND the music. Exhibits:

pirated font embedded in this PDF: web.archive.org/web/2005122320…

and about the music: theransomnote.com/music/news/a…

EDIT: more context re the composer, music, and royalties; the story is ofc more nuanced and apparently debunked: torrentfreak.com/sorry-the-you…

FOSDEM 2025 - Thunderbird: Building a Cross-Platform, Scalable Open-Source Design System

This is what I think about whenever infosec wonks on here start telling people they should use matrix or xmpp+omemo or whatnot instead of signal

To be fair, I understand the arguments and to a large extent I agree with the critiques. However, I think anyone making these recommendations is vastly underestimating the capacity or appetite for most people to deal with the user experiences presented by these alternatives.

User experience is the ultimate force multiplier. For anything that requires network effects to function (ie most anything involving communication), if it doesn't *just work* then you've lost 90% of your audience.

I'm just going to say it. Whoever designed the new notifications layout and design for Mastodon needs to go back to the drawing board (and UI design school). In some cases, esp if you start off with a tag, it looks and works horribly. (desktop view). Way worse than the old way just a month or two ago.

1 year ago I switched from Mac to Linux for professional UX design work. In this article, I explain as simply as possible:
- Why I switched to Linux
- How you can do the same.

I cover design-specific concerns like:
- How to use Apple devices like the Magic Mouse in Linux
- Which design tools are available and how to install them
- How to find help if you get stuck
