Thanks, I'll check these out. I have some hope that something like this could take off because of the popularity of Mastodon. I think the problem is that there has to be a major impetus for lots of people to switch, and it has to be

Indeed, I wish there was something like it today with a modern design. Like a DHT with your public key fingerprint as a lookup. Anyone who 'follows' your .plan also hosts it as a torrent. You 'approve' followers by signi

Yeah but how does Google/Apple make money off of cloud storage when you don't need it? In some ways it's better to just get a usb-c fob for this functionality...have a problem with your headphone jack or microSD slot? Throw i

There's a video I saw a while back of these Indian women who knitted sweaters for the elephants because there was a very cold winter that year. The elephants, normally aloof, heard them singing at the edge of the woods, saw the elephan

That logo reads ambiguously...In top-to-bottom left-to-right languages you may not be sure which letter to read first, the 'M,' (top but rightmost) or the 'L' (bottom but leftmost). I'd propose making the 'M&#x

Time/date being the best example of this. I think I've seen every possible variation by now, except maybe putting the year in between the month and day. Drives me absolutely crazy.

I think some of these (or similarly sized) drones were sent to Ukraine for use in urban warfare last year as a recon tool. They may have also used them for exploring recaptured mines (the kind for extracting resources, not a landmine) whic

Thanks, sibling to this comment posted the one I was thinking of. The study you posted appears to confirm their findings. This is...alarming.

To my knowledge, anything with an ISBN counts towards book sales. It's funny though how many things have an ISBN that you wouldn't call a book. Playing cards, empty notebooks, adult coloring books, etc all count towards book sales

I'm not convinced society would be able to recover after a collapse. We've extracted the easy to get resources already and what's left is extracted and refined with some really advanced technology. We can recycle a bunch of s

Looks like a sailplane without a cockpit. It might even use thermals and ridge lift to prolong flight time...in the right conditions it could fly indefinitely as long as it had a way to recharge the battery for operating the control surface

Most literature we have today was written with a reader in mind, not a listener. I don't even think audiobooks are necessarily bad, it's people consuming them like a hamburger while they multitask so they aren't even really e

Talk to an estate attorney and they can give you some advice, but ultimately you'll never be able to account for every possibility, and you're going to have to trust somebody to make the right decisions for you at some point.
