I get what you're saying, but wishing modern sweet apples, grapes etc. to go away because of tooth decay is a bit over the top. Can we keep Granny Smith apples? They're less than 200 years old. But they're not sweet :)

I prefer drinking straight from a cup. Straws are the answer to drinking through a lid , which is the real necessity for takeout restaurants. Costco figured this out with a self-sealing flap on the lid you can sip from. That said, it'

I do like the definition of consciousness as that thing that kicks in to handle novel situations. The thing we can do that ants can't.

No. Even though I navigate with Osmand regularly, I must use Gmaps to find stores' existence, address, hours, phone number, url. Gmaps is the yellow pages. Osmand is a map.

This is spot on. Everybody has lots of favorite subjects. They're not all the same.

I get the physical edition and it's nothing like that. They're giving the internet what it wants. Physical paper has Opinion section at the back where I don't often read it. Online, Opinion pieces are right on top.

I agree inside a house is more boring than an alley, but have you seen how much time big cats spend sleeping?

Honsetly, pay-what-you-want-if-you-can would work well. Just make a button appear once in a while (that you can permanently turn off in about:config). If firefox asked me once a month "Enjoying the entire internet? Is it worth $1 to yo

I have the same concern, but usually insist on being able to make simple regular downloads of my data, ready to port to the next similar service. I'm fine paying a subscription for thestorygraph and bitwarden, for instance knowing if t

Obviously the use is pejorative here and "cult" is the only word for "sect led by disingenuous person taking advantage of a bunch of people". But "cult" is a very overloaded word. I'm a bit leery of using

Okay: - Lynx is far older than I thought. - WorldWideWeb 1.0 understood images, but didn't inline them, which is really what my creaky memory meant when it thought images were there from the beginning.

It does feel like asking "What will replace ASCII?" Extensions, sure, but 0x41 is going to mean 'A' in 5050 AD.

Someone else told me they thought lynx came first. Is that really true? I thought images were there from the beginning.

I suddenly realize the idea isn't that "Irish wagon" is offensive, it's that that word's a slur for Irish people.

As a kid, I heard they were called paddywagons because lots of the police were Irish immigrants which was borne out by all the Bugs Bunny cartoons I watched. Not really derogatory. OED says origin is uncertain. At this point, does "r

I got an intel SBC for something that required non-ARM and I remember the power raw being surprising after having been spoiled by so many raspberry ARMs.

Before the pandemic, I picked them up for $5 regularly at our local friendly computer store. They even had 0w's for $5 as a gimmick (they were supposed to be $10) with purchase limit of 2 or 5 (can't remember). I'd just pic
