Somehow I’ve ended up making ceramics. I use OpenSCAD to turn 3D models into slices, laser cut templates from them, then use them to hand-cut and assemble the model. I’m not very good at it, which results in a hybrid look of machined and ha

Glad to see an API-compatible alternative. Is archiving on your roadmap? The primary reason I use Pinboard is (at least some of) my stored URLs have text snapshots I can use in the case of linkrot.

You’re absolutely correct. Taking the breaks off of American anti-science wingnuts is indeed the “more at hand” that has made it worse than before.

Of all the tools for helping find your follows in the fediverse, I hope https://movetodon.org/ gets more attention. It is easier (no “download and upload this CSV”) and also serves a purpose over time to discover new migran

Not on the list, but my strategy has worked pretty well. Move to a country with proper infrastructure and road safety laws.

I am thankful for the role McDonalds and other commercial third spaces play in the lives of many, especially poor Americans. I'm also deeply sad that this is made necessary by insufficient social resources and poor land use. It's

Hi, I moved from the US to Europe and have lived both lifestyles. I'm calling BS on your assertions, AMA.

We're working on it. Parking is being removed pretty quickly, one of the three major canal rings will go car-free soon. (And by 2030 we hope to allow only electric motors anywhere in the center, but that's driven by air quality ra

For a few years now, every road construction project near my Amsterdam home has removed car lanes. Also parking. Usually the freed space goes to protected cycle paths, but sidewalks, trees, and playgrounds sometimes win some new space as we

Indeed, I am a bit tired of all the reasons my city (Amsterdam) is unworkable or simply impossible, because it doesn't resemble [Springfield].

I'm voting for false flag because it's the most interesting hypothesis to imagine. Especially with the NCSC statement.

I opted out by moving to Europe.

The professor clearly responded to your "tuition dollars" concern, so I'm going to ignore A). But B) is an interesting question that I will assume is sincere. "White Lives Matter" is likely to be controversial for t

Funny that this thread has become about the Netherlands. I moved to Amsterdam from Seattle last November, and have to say that I feel far less vulnerable here, information-wise. Perhaps if I compared the policies and behaviors of only the n

I'm curious how seamless that implementation was. I've seen a few hacks that load-then-scroll which is, of course, just about the worst of all worlds.

Fair enough, but I consider Buzz the right idea, with a botched execution (and especially rollout).

The simile to Microsoft's early (and, arguably, continued) tablet efforts is apt. Google isn't a social network, and the products they offer us as users will be stronger if they don't pretend to be. But they've built their business on selli

This isn't a new idea, but an implementation sticky enough for me to use has proven elusive. Instapaper-like offline caching may be important, or maybe integration with Reeder, various Twitter clients, etc. I'd really like one that stores

I just learned of Placekitten and had to drop everything and write bookmarklets: http://hans.gerwitz.com/projects/placekitten.html I didn't know about Kittenify, but they have better code. Though Placekitten has nicely curated images. A

I see what you did there: you oriented toward an outcome of "value" and then substituted that with "earnings". I take umbrage with your assumption that the goal of education is expressed in salary.
