Personally, I subscribe to YouTube channels via RSS (a little known but existent feature). Then I download all the videos I want to watch with `youtube-dl -a -`. No buffering, any video window size I want, finer-grained speed playback in VL

SuperTux has an excellent engine, while still being in fairly early stages of level development.

"Freedom" in terms of software doesn't mean privacy, but freedom to run, modify, and redistribute software: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

an HP EliteBOOK 8460p from around 2013 - purchased in 2016 used on ebay for around $200. this is my usual procedure for buying computers: lightly used, older design but still much better than new computers at the same price point.

Works for me with NoScript enabled in Firefox. (It even works in emacs! https://i.imgur.com/NHI7Hh2.png )

Don't you dare write about emacs on Facebook! ;) (At least it works without JS.) Choice of platform aside, good article.

"e e cummings preferred his name written in all lower case." - this is not exactly true. He signed with capital letters, most of the time. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._E._Cummings#Name_and_capita... )

+1 for Wiktionary. As for Scrabble, https://scrabble.hasbro.com/en-us/tools#dictionary works just fine, although it needs JavaScript.
