The_Donald was not about political opinions. It was a hate farm that made neofascists out of people who came for the lulz. By all means let's have actual conservatives discuss politics as a counterpoint to more liberal views, but smack the fascists down - because it's the only way to truly have a tolerant society and civil discourse: Intolerance as politics must not be tolerated. If that basic rule is ignored, everything else fails.

See the paradox of intolerance.

The simplest forms are. Except hyperlinks are super powerful and unlike paper you can restructure and recomnect as you see fit. Since it is computer software, you can also get other benefits like a working to do-list next to your medicine list or machine learning indexing and cross-referencing your documents. Take a look at the Devonthink website for an idea of how idea management on steroids look. On the other end of the spectrum you have things like Obsidian where everything is simply stored in pure markdown text and synced by you how you see fit. There's a solution for every temper these days.

Keep an eye out for Artemis, too.

Another Zorin OS here. I was surprised and delighted by how little it gets in your face. Updates also seem extremely fast compared to the (many!) other distros I've tried. Unless there's a kernel update, there will just be a little notification at boot asking "There are these updates. Do you want to update now or later?" - and I always choose now because it's so fast and gets out of your way. I also appreciate the defaults.

I fully agree that downvotes is a negative. I'm not trying to be punny either. We want quality to take off, but we don't need downvotes to signal anything from disagreement to disinterest to trolling. Just report trolls - and if enough people report, it could be temporarily hidden till a moderator reviews it. Of course, this can be abused, too, but if reports aren't visible and the threshold is set reasonably, it could be better than what we have had.

Some day those sites won't be there any more - and the Wayback Machine doesn't store everything. Plus what if you just want to save a great quote from something you read?

@justhach I could have picked Aeropress as well. After too much of it, though, the bidet comes in handy once again!

Absolutely. I use Miniflux and clients on various devices to get the sync feature. I mostly have tech and game news there, though.

There are scripts that can do it for you, so you don't have to do it manually. Might as well give a final FU to spez. Assuming they don't just roll back as they have with others.

Dear dragontamer,
Your username alone makes me near-certain that you would be better, because it seems to not be spez.

I was just checking out the site on my iPad. Only the top image loads and the rest are white boxes. I disabled all content blockers and reloaded but the problem persisted. It might still be a local problem, but now you have a heads-up that something MIGHT be wrong.

Deleted my 11 yo accounts after the disastrous AMA and only took a peek during blackouts to see what it would look like. No Apollo = no Reddit. Actually, I'm not even sure I would go back if Reddit magically reversed everything, because now we have learned so much about what a shitty, disrespectful place it is towards its users. Restoring users' deleted posts and comments is way WAY over the line. The Reddit Files also sound like they will be interesting...
