Didn’t he already fix it? Aren’t we past day one?

We can live in both at the same time.

It’s weird living in a world where people are rescuing our past from the Ministry of Information sponsored Memory Hole.

I was 61kg at 187cm from 15 to 30. I was eating 6000 calories a day to maintain that weight. Then I gained 22kg over the next three years and finally felt healthy for the first time. I had all the same health problems as anorexics while eating like an Olympic athlete.
It was just genetics. Multiple family members were like this but not as bad as I had it. Now I have a nephew who has it just as bad as I did. He just has to wait another decade or so to achieve normalcy.

I’m not on ca. I’m on world. But I can see how I might have been first because I had just hit the scales sort and it was the first post I saw. It’s possible that I was in before anyone else on the instance.

It was a big zero. Nothing but the group description.

I’m also on boost. I didn’t go back because it was completely empty.

The number of pods with no show notes is way too high.
- Comment on Bitly adds interstitial ads to shortened URLs, unlocking new revenue stream 3 weeks ago:
Urls can be too long to be memorable and useful on a audio medium like radio or podcasts. So if you can give them a domain they know and a keyword or phrase it becomes extremely useful.

And you gotta bounce it off satellites.

- Comment on Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3? 4 weeks ago:
Podcasts are almost exclusively mp3. There is no need for lossless fidelity on those. And when you are subscribed to 200 podcasts like I am a small file size matters. And when listening at 2.5x speed lossless is a complete waste.

We now have meme restoration specialists. I guess the dream job path is to get hired by the meme archivists at Know Your Meme. Then get a big gallery exclusive for niche collections like Advice Animal and Unpopular Opinion Meme Counter Culture.
Good work. I look forward to your lifetime achievement award in 40 years.

UBO is also free as in beer.

We have a problem. People have learned that they shouldn’t use a free VPN. By that logic you shouldn’t use a free ad blocker either. People don’t understand the details enough so they operate on broad ideas.

“From the founder of Honey.” Which means that stealing code and affiliate links is just the surface of shady stuff they are up to.

The “a” is the worst part for me. You can’t see those little stubbs at a distance. So it reads JoGuor at a distance. They didn’t just fail to create a good logo, they failed to preserve the name. One bit of advice I always give is “imagine this logo on the back of a golf card or a Pride brochure. If the logo isn’t crisp and readable in black and white in a 1/2 inch square then it sucks.” This design fails that test. Not just because of the messed up “a” but the wide spacing makes those unreadable "a"s even smaller than if the letters weren’t so widely spaced.

I would have failed every design class I took in college if I submitted that. Why such wide kerning? Why lower case but upper G? Why so round? Why so completely unreadable at a distance because of micro serifs? There isn’t one good design element in this.

We will not be rewatching that. I couldn’t make heads or tails if it when it was on the first time and I’m definitely not trying to revisit it. But it is that bad.
- Comment on B5 crossover 3 months ago:
We are working our way through it now. The first season is absolute trash that is so dull and slow that it’s almost impossible to watch. After that things pick up and start getting good. I’m told that you can skip the first season and come back and watch it later with an understanding of everything it’s setting up. But I decided to watch the first season in proper order.
After we finished this it’s on to Farscape.
