Yes, but all of those deprecated elements can still be rendered just fine by some of the current browsers. And even if, say, you couldn't display an index page with frameset, then the stuff inside the frames is just plain old html file

It is my understanding that no matter which server you sign up on, you can follow people on every other federated server. So, it doesn't much matter what political stance each server officially takes, because the bubbles are connected.

Basketball shorts _these_ days tend to be huge tent-like things that come all the way down to the knee and hide any hint of the actual shape of the hips/thighs/bottom of the man wearing them. Which is not exactly sexy.

Sure, it is available, but _why_? For years and years now, even low end devices are perfectly capable of playing media over a network without transcoding being required? Why do people think they need transcoding? Are they streaming to ancie

Yeah, I haven't needed transcoding since I was watching stuff streamed from my PC to my PS2. The entire existence of Plex, I've been confused about why so many people thought they needed transcoding, because even low end devices c

But on OSX, there are TONS of choices for music apps. You just need to bother yourself to explore the landscape a bit. Nobody will force you to use Apple's apps. On Android, PowerAmp is still there and still the best. If anyone ever fo

Is Jellyfin yet able to actually keep up with auto scanning for new files without taking an entire day? I don't want to have to manually tell it to update all the time, and I don't want to have to wait over night if I let it auto

I thought that it has long since been understood that any trait which does not inhibit reproduction is ignored by natural selection, and therefore does not get "weeded out" by the process of evolution. This is why there can be lon

In my experience, it very much depends on the individual cat. Besides general levels of hunting competence overall, cats seem to have a good bit of variety in their preferred prey types. Some catch everything, but some specialize in small r

Have a look at the old Tandy m100. AA batteries, and you can type for days without distractions on a mechanical keyboard. Or, pick up any Android based e-ink ereader and plug in a keyboard.

This is like any open-book exam. Make the time limit reasonable such that if they know the stuff, they can get it done while referring to a few things in a source, but if they don't know it, there's no way they can look it all up

This just isn't true. Goodreads and similar apps have been pretty good and pretty fast at reading barcodes from books for years now, on a smartphone.

How do you get PB&J through airport security? Also, can you somehow turn off your subscription popup on your website just on the "About" page (where I'm not reading any of your content yet)? You seem to have some nice can

I'd very interested to hear more about your workflow, because lack of inking/handwriting recognition in apps like Obsidian is what keeps me on OneNote (and from going fully Linux). Can you edit any of these ink based formats later

If Obsidian ever added some good inking/handwriting recognition stuff, it would be a contender for the best note taking app out there.

It's trying to be a wiki without a server. Or at least, that's how it started. It's a note taking app that uses markdown and plain text files. Gives some nice organizational views.
