I'm a software developer, user interface designer, husband, and father with a mechanical keyboard addiction. I'm also an autodidact and fierce proponent of the Oxford comma. If you're curious, check out my nerdy open source projects on Github (github.com/argentini).

Ten years ago today, the Supreme Court made it possible for couples like Brad and me to marry in every corner of this country. It was a moment we never thought we’d live to see and one we’ll never take for granted. Now, we must stay vigilant to ensure that right is never taken away. Love is love. Then, now, and always.

Turns out you can't end wars in 24 hours by tweeting demands.

Putin, Netanyahu, and Khamenei remain as determined as ever to do whatever they want. Trump is an international laughing stock as always.

25% of the world's oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's parliament voted to block the Strait.

Corporations will use the opportunity for price hikes on everything.

A handful of sociopaths are ruining the planet for 8 billion people.

@marcoarment on a related note I still can’t understand why the macOS context menu for a mounted drive has eject and erase right next to each other.

@marcintosh yes, I’m usually pretty enthusiastic about OS releases. One feature I like is the new spotlight.

I don’t hate myself enough to try the iOS and macOS betas with liquid (gl)ass.

“Impossible!” cried the mad king, disarmed and defeated. “I hold the power of the crown and nobody shall defeat me! So says the prophecy!”

“You misunderstand,” said the peasant. “You hoarded power, thinking yourself unstoppable. What you really had to do to keep your crown was listen to the people of the kingdom, but to you we are nothing. We are nobody. You claim the prophecy says that nobody will defeat you? Well, I’m the nobody who just did!”

I'm so proud to see so many folks in my hometown come out for #NoKingsDay, standing up together for Democracy, justice, and freedom and keeping abuse of executive power in check. Let's go, America! 🇺🇸

@marcintosh @siracusa this liquid glass design inspired by VisionOS lacks the later’s frosted texture. That alone would probably fix a lot of the contrast and readability issues.

@hotdogsladies OMG best Dio album.

It looks like we officially have 2 years left before we can no longer run Microsoft SQL Server in Docker on an Apple Silicon Mac. Rosetta 2, you will be missed.

Attn: - I work in a library putting books away and fixing displays. I've been told not to display anything (because mean people suck) so I'm seeking books that are *covertly* LGBT - LGBT author or character, but not story; LGBT, but with a bland cover (because we're dealing with people who judge books by their cover), etc. If you have suggestions, and don't object to a little malicious compliance, please send book titles that I can "hide in plain sight."

#POTUS wants U.S. companies to eat the tariffs to keep prices the same for consumers. In that case how would tariffs encourage consumers to buy American?
