I have similar problems even on Intel Mac. I've messed with Skia rendering, Java versions, screen resolution, all to no avail.

There's always some price at which an insurer would willingly insure. The only case where it is "impossible" is when there's a government price cap. The other issue that you implicitly refer to, though, is that the price

I'm fed up too. Spammy, AI-looking sites are showing up more and more. For some reason, many of them use the same Wordpress theme with a light gray table of contents - they look like this: https://imgur.com/a/total

Does anyone have a subscription or can otherwise read past the heading "A flood of information"? (I can see ~2500 words but there is apparently more.)

I'm genuinely curious why this is a sore spot for you, since I've never heard this perspective. It seems like you see the key difference as being that the OSM attribution is commonly clickable, whereas the Google Maps one is not (

If you perceive this as "abrasive", "one-sided", or "attacking", that was a quite intentional effect. The whole point is that if you read something like that and all you glean is "this guy doesn't lik

At least one of the illegal copies was supposedly converted using a version of "oed2dict": https://njw.name/oed2dict/ which creates various formats. That takes HTML files as input, and I don't know where

StarDict (a program/file format) is easily googlable. A bit of a rabbit hole is that it's been chased around hosting providers because its site (used to) offer downloads of copyrighted dictionaries, including the OED 2nd edition.
