Accessibility feature enabled: "You can just kill this escort quest NPC and go enjoy the rest of the game."

Nah. Oracle is trying to pivot from "people noticed we hate humans" into "Like Microsoft, we embrace open source now". I'm glad to see it, but also very skeptical that it represents a long term change.

Edit: Oracle's stance on basic accessibility seemed really bad, to me, for a long time. I don't actually think they hate humans...probably.

Except Oracle didn't create either of those, Sun Microsystems did. Oracle bought Sun, and then made both products worse.

I've found diving deep into retrogames is great for my similar situation.

Games from the 80s, 90s and even some from the 00s are often designed to be played in much shorter play sessions.

Marvel: Can we just keep churning out the same formula every year and just keep printing money endlessly?

Me: Yes, if you pay your staff equitably.

I like to play though GunStar Heroes (a terrific Contra style bullet hell) with a self inflicted "melee attacks only" rule.

The fact that it's possible is one of the cool things about the game.

I'm guessing that skill with Cascading Style Sheets is considered wasted time and effort at X, much like media relations, accessibility, and microservices.

I'm getting sidetracked here, but I want to give my support of McD's turning every possible life event Grimace can have into to a new marketing event, so long as each comes with a new Gameboy color game.

"We’re here for you and we know that being 35 is really really really old, whether you’re willing to admit it or not."

I feel seen.

Most of us wildly underestimate the number of our peer accounts that are corporate shill bots.

When I start to feel overwhelmed, I just go check the Days since the last new JavaScript framework counter.

Usually calms me down.
