Following on from that, NIST guidelines recommend:
❌ DON'T enforce complexity (upper, lower, numbers, special chars)
✅ Instead, DO require 8 chars minimum, and up to 64 at least
✅ Also, allow _any_ characters (space, apostrophe, etc.)
❌ DON'T force users to change passwords regularly; then they just add incrementing numbers at the end and it doesn't help security
✅ But DO block passwords/patterns (qwerty, asdfasdf, etc.)
UX designers (which includes nearly anyone developing front-end code, whether it's in your job title or not), remember that real people will have to use your interface. It will affect them. It can have a serious impact on their quality of daily life.

After several days of work, I finally pushed several commits to my website to accommodate those who rely on high contrast themes. Huge thanks to @acidiclight for helping me out by sharing a lot of feedback!
And a request to the broader community - feedback wanted and highly appreciated.

I want Firefox to succeed more than ever and I support Mozilla finding better revenue sources than search engine default sales, but I do not support a $7M salary for its CEO.
I canceled my recurring donation to Mozilla because I need that money more than Mozilla’s CEO needs that money.
If there is a direct funding option of developers working on Firefox, I will happily reallocate that money. Send me links.

I released my Narrat Jam 2 game yesterday ✨ I made a lazy post about it at 2am but I was sleepy and it wasn't great, so here's more info.
🍂 A walk through the forest 🍂
Playable on 
This is a game where you walk through a forest, looking at pictures and identifying plants.
It is not at all a game about random ramblings of my brain 
It's meant to be a chill reflective experience that hopefully will fill your brain with thoughts.
Game link: lianana.itch.io/forest-walk
Submitted for the Narrat Jam 2: itch.io/jam/narrat-jam-2/rate/…

An #introduction: I'm Melissa (they/them)! Some of my projects are in my bio, but in general I am and do:
#gamedev & #podcasting
#polyamory #relationshipanarchy
I write. I #webdev. I play way too much Fallen London. I collect tattoos. I will not call posts "toots".
I like learning to be more imaginative in devising solutions to difficult problems. 🎊
