It doesn’t work for me either. Just reading the text on the page linked here was uncomfortable. It’s not like you describe though - for me it’s like there’s too much white space and there’s this mass of words almost floating around the page and it’s hard to keep track of where I’m up to. I am a bad/slow reader and all reading is like that for me - that font just seems to make it worse.

I also live in an area with frequent power disruption. We have a backup generator. It is more than enough to power the electronics in our propane gas range, but nowhere near enough to power an electric range.

I’m not lawyer, but my reading of it says they can use that to at least get you targeted ads. Is that not a worry, or is it not new?

I wouldn’t say he admitted it either. I’d say he’s bragging about it.

It might be expensive, but still worth a short visit. I’ve got a shockingly bad memory, but I’ll never forget the awe I felt waking up to a view of the Alps.

So, it sounds like this isn’t expected behaviour? Now that I’ve gone looking for examples, I can’t find any. Maybe there was some temporary problems yesterday…

I thought I was doing well with 8 down and 20 up! In my defence - a lot of the stuff I’m seeding is old (10+ years) and I’m the only seed.

On a Commodore64?

Wow, that brings back memories. Slackware 3.x was my into to Linux in the '90s.

You’re probably about my age. I was just late getting into computers. First attempt at university was dumb terminals connected to some Unix host. Failed everything and dropped out. Went back a few years later and had 8086 based PCs booting DOS off diskettes.

Took a while, but I found “me”. Slackware 3.1 was 3 or 4 boxes of floppies if I remember correctly. A full box, or more maybe, for X!

fvwm2?

Yep - I use Facebook and Instagram regularly. I spend a lot of time in both tapping on “hide this” or “show less of this” or “report and block user”, but I find it worth it for the interactions with some like minded people in hobby related groups. I’m aware of the privacy implications, but I figure I’ve been there for so long there’s not much more for them to learn about me. I use ad and tracker blocking to slow them down a little.

I’m the same. When I was recently buying some new wool socks the seller said something like “these are great - you can wear them for days without washing” and I thought that was gross - but he was right. I leave them loosely sitting on top of my boots to air overnight and they are ready for another day.

I’ve been using vim since it was just vi and I can’t even begin to think about using it on a virtual keyboard!

Thank you - your description is the only one that allowed me to see the “other” perspective. If I really focus on the “wrong” bottom face and bottom left vertex I can see it the wrong way for a short time but the instant me brain notices the top right vertex it flips back.

Oh wow - that looks interesting. I’ve been investing a bit of time recently getting into musicbrainz/listenbrainz - now I’m torn.

Protecting children would mean knowing which users are children, which would mean knowing the actual legal identity of every user of the platform. It’s never going to happen.

A store near me (Canadian Tire) has them linked to their app - you find what you want in the app, go to the aisle listed and tap “find this item” and the LED flashes.

I must have a pretty warped sense of humour… haven’t had a good laugh like that in ages.
