Same here! That was one of my first shareware purchases and, honestly, the only one I can remember. There were plenty of other apps I used that had shareware versions (including Doom), but my path into the software rarely started with the

Yeah. At first I primarily used Kagi to move away from Google as a company, hoping for results that were equally good. But Google search actually feels crappy now in comparison.

Years ago I lived on the edge of a violent area in a big city. People were sometimes shot and killed near my apartment, and I often heard gunfire. But I agree -- no one ever bothered me, and after some initial hesitation I felt fine. It was

I only use Firefox, and I very rarely notice any kind of broken sites. I remember one bank site last year had a minor issue.

It's not fixed. It's still better than nothing, but it's weird to see an article singing its praises. I still use Firefox though, it's the best cross-platform browser overall.

I totally agree. I take tons of notes and rarely review them - but when I do, I really need the info. So my focus is to get the information recorded and to spend pretty minimal time formatting or otherwise messing with the notes. The import

The good thing is that there are several options for similar apps right now. If Obsidian tries to do vendor lock in stuff, I’ll just move to one of the other options.

It all depends on what skills you already have with those tools and how much you value your time.

The $8/month seems completely fair IMO. really good sync is hard to pull off. I ran my own hodgepodge sync service for over a decade out of a home server for exactly these kinds of notes, and it’s really easy for issues/conflicts&

Between “crew has to remember to hit the button” and “everything just works,” I have a strong preference for the second one.

People who make bad choices tend to commit the kinds of crime that tend to get caught. People who make bad choices also tend to have more expenditures than income, so they don’t have a lot of money. Changing the amount of money they have (e

Modern air source heat pumps are fine. Where I live it's hard to even find someone who services ground source heat pumps. Ground source works slightly better but the install cost is so much higher that it's rarely worth it.

Blockchain and crypto have made any discussion of digital currency sound toxic. I almost downvoted reflexively. But to the extent it can be implemented without blockchain it sounds like a good idea.

I don’t know why you are getting downvoted. I was a waiter. It’s absolutely a choice. There are many other jobs in a restaurant and you can choose which one you want to do. I was a cook, waiter, dishwasher, busboy, and host, all at one rest

Did you play DOS:2? I get that sentiment for DOS:1, but 2 took things more seriously.

I think most or all states recognize that the defendant’s actions must not be justified or privileged. It’s hard to imagine how Beeper would meet that element on these facts.

Yes. It’s fundamentally the same game, just with combat rules that aren’t quite as good. It feels very much like DOS:3.

by D13Fd 3y ago
That’s the camp I’m in. DnD 5e feels pretty shallow compared to the DOS:2 system.

I don’t think it’s fair to blame Larian though. They got the IP and delivered a Larian-style spin on it. Having them try to pretend to be 1990s/2000s-era Bioware would have been a disaster (even today’s Bioware wouldn’t be able to do t

People often say this, but the problems with Starfield are not the kinds of thing that are likely to be fixed post-launch.

Agreed. But the choice right now is not “war” vs. “no war.” Standing with our ally and funding Ukraine is the choice that deters more war. Running away and letting Russia’s baseless aggression continue unchecked will lead to more war in the

The window is already broken. Russia broke it. You are saying we shouldn’t help our ally deter Russia and China from breaking more windows. In your analogy, we are paying to help Ukraine go after the kids throwing stones at windows.
