  I’m not sure how the numbers were doled out, but in 2000 it was a big deal having a sub-9-digit ICQ number.

  86336930 checking in. Pretty sure I remember the password, but it’s not like I can check now.

  You will be missed, ICQ. When no other messaging service worked, you always did.

  Guessing they used Sonarr, Radarr, qBittorrent, maybe an NZB client…

  Would you look at that, I’m sophisticated now.

  Update: It’s back as of now. Still curious what caused it to go down to begin with.

  This just feels like a repeat of Rural Electrification: yeah it’s expensive and not immediately profitable, but we’re at the point where it’s necessary to be a part of modern society.

  I’ll be blunt: the fact that they’re opposing it makes me even more supportive of it.

  RTF is a rarity these days since basically every phone, tablet, and other handheld device can handle either PDFs or HTML (and ePub is basically just a ZIP file with HTML in a specific naming scheme and structure). Back in the day though you’d find RTFs more often for use in budget/jury-rigged eReader options. It’s much easier to parse, if nothing else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows after 28 years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Windows not having a built in free RTF editor is notable

  Yeah, that is a bit odd, but then again when’s the last time you’ve seen something other than a cut-rate eBook in RTF? Everything is either some variant of plain text or a DOC file these days.

  Plus, it’s rare that you ever need to edit RTF files. Read, sure, but that could be handled by Word Reader, which is free.

  It’s nowhere near as bloated as Word but you have many more options than Notepad when it comes to formatting and presentation. It’s actually impressive how much you can do within the limits of RTF.
