   "A page" is putting it mildly.

   I generally enjoy that stuff, and I think that it made the book worse for me. Example: Referencing Tomb of Horrors as some kind of forgotten lore? Preposterous! That module is iconic. Whatever module he used should have been something I&#x2

   I found that book to be dreadful and couldn't make it through. The initial worldbuilding was interesting but then it seemed to turn into an endless loop of "HEY DO YOU REMEMBER THIS THING FROM THE 80'S WASN'T IT AWESOME?

   Somehow that page's autoplaying video gets around the browser's mute control. The web continues to get worse...

   I renewed with pride a month or so ago. The US has an enormous influence on the internet, and those of us on the outside are counting on you to look after it for us.

    With the right group of friends, OpenTTD is a great way to spend a day building a massive rail project. The OpenTTD Coop Wiki[1] is also very very good when it comes to advanced designs, signalling etc. [1]: https://wiki.openttdc

    Yep, and you needed the car battery and the joystick.

    On top of that, never link a debit account to PayPal. If they try funny business with my credit card I can dispute the charges.

    This is why I'm saddened that so few projects made the move to GPLv3, and most moderns stuff is BSD/MIT/X11-style licenses.

    Snarky, mostly. So often the people who want to ram through additional surveillance will do so using "think of the children" rhetoric, as though they were the most important thing in the world. And now we find that when it comes t

    I was, too. 2G is getting shut down in Australia, so this new thing is useless to me.

    Why would they "reimagine" the UI and shell of the 3310? Isn't the point of re-releasing a device like that to get the people who love the old one exactly as it is?

    I think the best you can do as a company is set up as a B Corp or something and try to build "do good" into the corp's reason for existing. This is a stronger step than "don't be evil".
