  • You can read most of The Guardian without JavaScript.

  • The Hunt for More Money.

  • Try one of the existing instances. Pixelfed.social is probably a bad choice right now, as it's getting overloaded with new members and so importing from Instagram has been curtailed. The others at https://pixelfed.org/servers should be fine. If you later choose to host your own instance you can always move the data from your old one.

  • How old are you? Once you reach middle-age shit starts breaking, even if you're fit which most of us aren't. You'll notice a good bed at forty much more than you will at twenty. By sixty you'll be demanding one.

  • I don't believe you are. I'm not certain it's been implemented... yet.

    The entire Fediverse is a work in progress. It's just better than the alternatives.

  • I disagree they did a great job with The Expanse. The first three series are better IMHO, especially series three. The Amazon seasons just feel like a loose collection of bottle episodes in comparison.

  • As an alternative for both, try searXNG.

    https://searx.space/ for instances.

    https://github.com/searxng/searxng for the code, you can run your own instance.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SearXNG for the wikipedia article.

    Personally, I find it returns much better results than anything currently available elsewhere. It reminds me of a time when search actually worked. Also, no ads and no tracking.

    BTW, different instances can supply poorer results than others, so shop around to find the best one for you.

  • Thank you

  • IIRC, they originally became popular because they saved characters for microblogs like Twitter. They've outlasted their usefulness though.

  • If only it worked on current generation hardware other than pixel and, iirc, fairphone.

  • Only some of those books focus on mages.

  • In Singapore, chicken eggs come in packs of 6, 10, 12 (always labelled as having two bonus eggs: 10 + 2), 15, and 30. Duck eggs come in packs of 6. Quail eggs come in cans (NFI how many they include).

  • The Word For World is Forest by Ursula LeGuin. I hated most of the first chapter but it's improved since then.

  • Yeah, nah. While copyrights are a problem as they're currently employed, removing them would screw every content creator on the planet. Most of us don't make much as it is, with only a few making a living from our work. Removing copyright would allow anyone to take what we produce without any compensation.

    The corporations would love that.

  • ET, ET2, ET3, ETC

  • Like I told my last wife, I says, "Honey, I never drive faster than I can see. Besides that, it's all in the reflexes."

  • I use it, as both a reader and a publisher, but rss (in particular) could do with an update.

  • While it's often attributed to Churchill, it most likely originated from Abba Eban.

  • America always does the right thing. After it has tried everything else.
