What vehicle did Mazda screw this up so badly in? Neither of my Mazdas with CarPlay disable the touchscreen in CarPlay. The ‘21 Miata disables it while in motion (which sucks badly, and I just learned there’s a hack to…
Heads up, most of the community migrated off Fandom a little while ago. https://mtg.wiki/page/Judge_Tower
Oops, I forgot this one wasn't public. Sorry! Auth was implemented using a library I don't know much about, so I figured better safe than sorry.
Mostly games-adjacent hobby tools, it turns out. (Edit: forgotten in first edition) A cookbook to store the recipes my family likes to cook so I can eventually break up with Pinterest:…
There’s a community keeping it alive with fresh content: https://nullsignal.games/ I sadly haven’t convinced my MtG playgroup (or family or other friends) to try it with me.
Wait, is this Azure or GitHub who had the booth? If it was GitHub, I’m super confused and there must have been some serious missing context. I was at GitHub from 2020-2023 and am not aware of _any_ Windows usage in the…
It feels wrong to say something nice about Ticketmaster, but you don't need their app to add concert tickets to Apple Wallet (at least at all the venues where I live). I strictly use their website because I don't trust…

The opposite is also true: Apple’s parental controls fail closed in inscrutable and impossible to debug ways. Yesterday, in order to share an iPad’s location with my iPhone, I had to totally disable managing Screen Time…
None of this matches my experience as a board member and officer at a nonprofit, nor what I observe with my partner who has worked at multiple nonprofits. I don’t understand the distinction you’re drawing between…
Accidentally turning on the wipers was definitely #1 for me. A close second was nearly turning the wrong way in roundabouts. I’m not sure why regular box turns were easy to mentally flip but roundabouts just broke my…
I have another reply in this tree talking about outcomes and independence being much worse not even all that long ago. I won’t repeat it all here but it squares with what you observed in an older neighbor growing up.…
> I'm sorry, what? Those with Down's Syndrome are people, with all the emotions and experiences that entails. If they are supported, nurtured and loved then they'll lead correspondingly happy lives. Heartily agree! My…
I had to look both of those up, and you’re right. The rule is inconsistently applied for sure. This got me curious about where the so-called rule came from. Wikipedia says: > Auto-eponyms may use either the possessive…
“Performative” feels a bit judgmental, given that America/UK differences in orthography are common. But yeah, y’all spell it differently than we do. I think you might also capitalize the “s” in syndrome?
Yes.
> Down Syndrome leads to an objectively worse outcome for the affected individuals. And their parents, I might add. Please cite your sources and show your work. My child with Down syndrome is a giant pain in my ass, I…
There is absolutely no benefit to being many things that some humans are.
If you never interacted with the residents there, how are you so sure it was so bad? Nevermind the people in the group home — on what basis did you acquire the belief that the neighbors were “relieved” not to interact…
This starts from an incorrect premise — that everyone with Down syndrome “will perpetually need care and supervision” — and then heads downhill. “Misery” and “ends up in a hellhole” are choices society has often made in…
I don’t think I entirely disagree with your position. However, positioning my kid (and others with DS) in opposition to “normal” makes it hard to engage respectfully. As a parent of one typically-developing child and…
I think this point would be better made without using the word “extreme” so much. All children bring new challenges; kids with DS often bring more; my child with DS has never, ever been an “extreme” challenge (just like…
Why do you think that people with Down syndrome are “utterly dependent on [their parents] for their entire lives”? All children come with a severe “emotional and mental cost”, have you seen the world today?? We knew…
Why do you think people with Down syndrome can’t “achieve independence and a life of their own”? And what makes you think they, or their families, see their existence as suffering?
As the parent of a child with Down syndrome, I really appreciate the way you and the parent comment approached this topic. Thank you. Tiny nit, in the US it’s “Down syndrome”, not “Down’s”. Apparently we name conditions…
