I wonder how many people don't use overstock for political reasons. I know he has done a lot, but after the former ceo tried some insurrection I really swore it off.

This has been working in the DDG browser for me for awhile, nice to see Firefox catch up.

Meetup dropped the ball there pretty badly, leaving FB events as the main tool for this.

I remember reading years ago about EEGs showing daytime cable TV viewers can lull into a relaxed state similar to people who are half asleep or meditating.

It is wild how many things I have discovered through piracy but eventually spent a boatload of money on. Music piracy in particular has been like free advertising ime.

It really is a unique environment, and a lot of fun for everyone involved. I'm trying to think of another niche like it, and I can't exactly. Very feel-good, look-at-this-secret-sauce, vibes all the way through from the musician

> Look it just makes sense to start out connecting Threads users to a pretty active user base which creates content for Threads users. Are there any decent analytics of mastodon's network? Threads has many more users than mastodon

Threads will be a boon to mastodon. Discovering the various instances or the idea of federation via threads certainly isn't going to hurt it. I am curious what kind of stress tests will happen with that many more people added to the n

The outer layer is what I was referring too - you're right, it isn't a spray on coating and it isnt all goretex branded. The polymer is pretty durable, but it breaks apart eventually. It goes into the water eventually when washe

This is more like receipt paper, where you shouldn't put your hands in your mouth after touching it. The coating washing off into the water supply is what nags me.

Thanks to donal fellows and miller puckette for having helped guide me through the tcl world. Having used it so much, tcl has been as indispensable for me as it has been obligatory.

I agree. Your monetization is kindly, and that deserves respect. The opportunity to create would never be there for many, and the skills involved never refined for many more, if compensation was impossible. You enforce against poorly for

The trade-off is that a lot of poor people will never hear about your book, or only read a substandard version of it. I've seen official torrents from the owners of the copyright, simply for quality control purposes.

So I've been searching for a few minutes on threads and duckduckgo, but I can't find mention of this anywhere. Keeping people from clicking through to another site is a dark pattern - accepted maybe, but not cool. This is the fi

The developers are taking it seriously but there are no dates as far as I know.

Given that Threads seems to suppress posts linking to other websites, Source? I know X was introducing delays on links to threads, blue sky, and mastodon; is that what you meant?

A very populated metro area can be a part of the problem, in that the demand is so high. Certain specialists like neurologists seem to have months-long waits as a given, ime... driving a distance, telehealth, or waiting have been my optio

Doesn't that sound like stratifying society a bit? I don't have a lot of faith in interopability mixing well with profit incentives. I'll hear rumor about what the other social classes say, in that scenario. A lot of social

Meta isn't securus thankfully. Someone really ought to go after those bottom feeding monstrosities who actually sell your data.

Ah, indeed - can't be too high-profile. I watch candid interviews of random Russians on the street fairly frequently, and the fear of the sentence is nearly ubiquitous.
