Paper, really? Rune stones still link us to our Viking ancestors, cuneiform tablets still link us to Gilgamesh, there is just no way paper can beat silicon (plus a few other elements).

This is not a solution to the problem, just a rather weak attempt at "sticking it to the man". Apart from not using youtube at all - which is not always possible - I'd suggest bypassing the web interface by using youtube-dl o

The rise - and continuous rise, even though anthropogenic CO₂-emissions went down substantially during the lockdowns in 2020 - is largely dependent on the oceans warming up and outgassing CO₂ [1]. Historical records from ice cores show that

Not really, the commercial 'net had been humming along without overly blatant censorship on ideological grounds for about 15 years before this became an issue. Forums and social media platforms can be moderated without taking an ideolo

The mere fact that several people did not respond to your question in an affirming way does not mean those people "hijacked" the thread, nor does it imply these people were "triggered". They responded, like I did, to a q

Yes, it is constructive in that your colleagues are much better off ignoring innate characteristics like sex in the quest for editor tutorials. I do not know whether your colleagues prompted you to specifically search for female-narrated tu

Those colleagues could just look past the sex of the person doing the talking and focus on the content, just like we've done for a long time - just like we've been taught. MLK wanted his children to be judged by the content of the

Section 230 can be replaced by something which does not allow the abuse which 230 makes possible. The replacement should explicitly disallow censorship, it should only allow the removal of content when ordered to do so by a court. As long a

This is already used for large-scale construction, e.g. a 3D-printed bridge [1] was made using an industrial robot which wielded a MIG-welder fed with stainless steel thread. This system still uses chopped fibre in a plastic base, I wonder

Yes. I host my own mail for this and many other reasons - more insight, more control, more flexibility. I use different addresses for anything commercial or governmental or... anything, really - the only people who get my normal address are

All headers including a potentially nonsensical TO-address - in other words don't go by the TO-address, check the "Envelope-to:" instead which your MDA or MUA should have inserted.

The alternative to being housebroken is not to live in your own filth, it is to live in freedom without fetters and chains. To take the dog comparison a bit further, the alternative to that housebroken dog is a free wolf.
