Definitely #1. I've encountered #2 with a very specific IDE and #4 and #5 on occasion.

He's trying to normalise the idea of the US taking control of Canada. It's utterly insane, but if he repeats it enough plenty of people will just switch off or subconscious accept that Canada "should" be part of the US.

My understanding was that DS9 (and I thought most, if not all, of Voyager) was made on film like TNG, then edited on videotape with effects added. Creating a HD version for them would be the same process as remastering TNG. As far as I know, the reason this hasn't happened is the cost involved.

I do use folders for my bookmarks, but I prefer my bookmarks to be for pages that I regularly use or are important for me to find quickly using the address bar. Articles that I want to read or have read and want to keep for future reference I much prefer in a platform like Pocket. With Pocket's demise I will be looking at Wallabag and Readeck.

I find it much easier than managing an unwieldy number of bookmarks and the tagging & list functionality allow you to group things in more than one way. Both the web interface and the app strip all the unnecessary clutter out of articles (making them easier to read), plus the app gives you offline reading.

It's for saving articles. Plenty of people use it, myself included. Very handy.

Based on https://fedia.io/m/selfhosted@lemmy.world/t/2206365/Alternatives-to-MZLA-Pocket I'm going to try Wallabag and/or Readeck. Probably the critical issue is whether you can self-host or not:

  • Wallabag has a paid public instance, but Readeck you'd have to host yourself until their public service launches later this year (see https://readeck.org/en/start)
  • Wallabag uses the Pocket API to transfer data (so I think you'd need to migrate before Pocket shuts down), whilst Readeck can import the file produced by a Pocket export.
  • Wallabag has phone apps, whilst Readeck is browser-only (does your e-reader support a browser?)
  • Readeck can export to ebook formats (so might be more useful for e-readers in this regard); not sure about Wallabag

Really disappointed to lose Pocket. I am a big user of it and found it very convenient to save articles of interest as well as collecting anything that looked interesting that I might want to read. Have both the Android app and use it on the desktop.

Now I'm going to have to find a substitute.

Agreed. There just isn't the variety of films anymore and so much stuff (even the poorly written shows) has to have a "premium" streaming show/film budget. It's all about franchises, reboots and sequels to decades-old-films.

Unfortunately if you're high-masking they usually disagree with you and say you can't possibly be autistic.

Thankyou for fighting the good fight!

Vile and dystopian.

 

Of all the schisms that cleave contemporary America, few are more stark than the divide between those who consider themselves to be victims of US history and those who fear they will be casualties of its future.

Not Facebook, but still the same sovcit insanity and in this case, how the Australian Tax Office (ATO) is responding.
