Since 2019 I’ve been in an expensive, stressful legal battle to protect Webcomic Name (my “oh no” comics). It’s a relief to finally talk about this publicly! I’m launching a crowdfunder to pay my

I was going to redact a PDF.
On my Mac in Preview, I hit Markup, then chose a black rectangle and this popup appeared, effectively saying "hey, you might not want to do this".

This situation—a single company controlling web standards—is what everyone freaked out about in the Windows 95 era, but the emergence of Google as de facto regulatory authority for the web doesn't seem to rankle people as much as it should.

The stupidest way movies get jarringly ruined for me is when they use a sound effect of a dial tone to indicate that the called party has hung up. That's not how it worked, damn it!
