@Knight_of_the_First_State While still real, the whole exploiting children problem is seriously blown out of proportion by exact same people to sway public opinion the way they want. Most throw their critical thinking aside when children are involved.

> Northern Canada & Russia would be compressed small
Aren't they actually smaller than what they look when made flat on the map?
We even have a joke about that: no one ever made Russia as great as the Mercator projection did 🤣

@matrix Thanks for the prompt fix!
Still, time to stop being lazy and start self-hosting!

Some could even whistle back at 2400 baud, but not beyond that 😂

I've been using tut a lot recently, I really like it even when using a graphics-capable machine. And I can't agree more! Sometimes seeing a link to png or jpeg isn't incentive enough to open the image viewer. Alt texts help a lot. Of course you can put the description in the post text and I think that's the least most should do, but alt text is more appropriate for that.

Great point! It's true, Google Lens or similar OCR can do that for you, but sometimes it misses the point. The person posting that image on the other hand usually (e.g. if it's something funny) does "get the joke" and knows what to emphasize to make it funny for person speaking different language.
@arjache

@mjdxp But isn't doing it illegally the best part? 😉

@bitsavers Maybe this is the format we should embrace, the web looks like it's going to collapse under its weight anyway 🤷
So much wasted processing power and electricity and disk space. And you can't even archive/preserve that stuff properly, there are certain tools for that, but imagine if Facebook goes out of business, the interconnectedness between all that stuff is lost forever — it just disappears.

@bitsavers Yeah, I remember hating the idea of blogs so much that I didn't want to take part in that. Back when it was a cool thing. But now everything went so much further downhill that old blogs don't even loog that bad.
Gemini kinda brings back that fell for me — when the pages were done by hand. And with gemlogs you don't feel obliged to update constantly. And this can co-exist with pages made by hand nicely.

@kaede@ilyamikcoder.com There is a sci-fi movie that explores this idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anon_(film)
According to the linked article it was poorly received, but I actually kind of liked it. In no way a masterpiece, but I'd watch it once again.

Using safebooru.org is another option.

@lauren Also we've noticed that you switched to a different VPN exit node so we just blocked your account.It doesn't matter if you're sure it was you so we'll just force you to change your password.And you can't change it back to your old secure password that you could actually remember — just use something like IH@teApple123 and use password recovery anyway next time you have to login because you couldn't remember the digits and refused to write it down on sticker🤪

@millihertz Exactly!
What's worse, it wasn't even UEFI-compliant at first! It was a nonstandard implementation in Macs up to 2011 models! That is why only Macs newer than 2012 were up to spec to boot Windows in EFI mode, with earlier models you had to resort to Boot Camp — Apple's BIOS emulation 🫠

@millihertz Oh my! I still have a couple of old Macs that have Open Firmware and I never realized that the language is Forth actually.
It's really odd that Apple had already been using Open Firmware with PowerPC, but still went with EFI on switching to Intel.
