Wait, really? I’ve found the new outlook opens emails faster than the old one, especially the HTML-heavy ones that my work loves to send me.

The refactor to the rules UI is really nice too, the old one was so crusty. Can’t comment on the timezone issue though.

Damn, sad to hear. But, at least she’ll live on through the lasting impact of her work on Star Trek. People will still be appreciating her art for (hopefully) many more decades to come!

Does this mean it’s not showing in theaters on release, only on Paramount+? That’s a strange decision. I assume they’re hoping new people will sign up for Paramount+ to see it, but showing it in theaters could get a lot of new people interested in star trek who then might be motivated to sign up and check out the shows.

Also I was looking forward to seeing it on the big screen. Oh well.

I’m honestly not against this. I know a lot of people will be furious with Mozilla about doing anything related to advertising, but as the article says:

And, for the foreseeable future at least, advertising is a key commercial engine of the internet, and the most efficient way to ensure the majority of content remains free and accessible to as many people as possible.

We may dislike ads, but the vast majority of internet users are not going to engage with content that requires you to pay up front. Creators and journalists need money to survive, and currently, ad-supported viewing is necessary for that to happen.

Instead of just hoping that advertising somehow goes away, I’m glad that Mozilla is working on ways for ads to exist without mass individual user tracking. I wish it wasn’t necessary, but wishing won’t change the world.

the psychically disabled

It’s always been so hard for the psychically deaf to get ahead in this world… Getting discriminated against in job interviews, having to hustle pencils on the side of the street. All because we can’t move shit with our minds or speak without our mouths.

My co-workers are always talking to each other telepathically when I’m around, laughing about their psychic in-jokes, knowing I can’t hear them. It’s honestly so rude. They’re probably making fun of me in there, tossing mean comments in the conduit between their attuned minds 😠

Well guess what? The psychically deaf are just as good as the psychics! There’s nothing they can do with their minds that we can’t do with good old fashioned human muscle 😤 we deserve respect!

My first game was Yoshi’s Island for the Game Boy Advance! I still go back and play it every few years, I love that game.

I think it’s worth getting. I liked how they made it so different from the base game, and still managed to create an interesting mystery for you to unravel that gives background to the base game’s story.

I didn’t like how heavily it leaned into horror though. Horror’s just not really my thing - there was one section in particular that was super stressful for me. But if you can tolerate (or enjoy) the horror elements, then you’ll like the DLC.

My top three would be Rimworld, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Metroid Prime.

Honorable mentions to Outer Wilds, Hollow Knight, Windwaker, Subnautica… There are so many great games out there that it’s hard to pick a top three!
