How you consume social media is not what everyone does. For example my SO spends hours on end on Facebook. Depending on whether you consider it social media I sometimes sink a lot of time (think hours) on YouTube. And that's time we&

The point being that if the change to Calibri has been done to improve accessibility (hence: inclusion) that makes it woke. Which is stupid, of course, especially considering that sans-serif fonts improve readability on screens for most peo

This reads like a mish-mash of various science fiction sources I can't quite pinpoint (except WALL-E in the end, maybe). Anyway, that's probably how it would go, but I'd like to think of the better vision for the future where

Take a look here[0] for a discussion about cassette quality. TL;DR: Like many of us you probably had shitty equipment and shitty cassettes. They are more than capable of sounding great with the right tools. [0] https://m.youtube.

Ok, but what you're describing is a step (or several steps) beyond a personal website. For a personal website you only need a free hosting provider (like angelfire, geocities and co. of yestercentury) or a Wordpress hosting. No need to

> If the DRM is enabled, the game does a simple "Is the game available in the user's library?" and steams says yes or no. So if one day Steam (more broadly, Valve) says "nope" you're locked out of your game,
