  I have a theory about her intentions for writing about killing that dog.

  Noem published her autobiography while vying to be the republican running mate in the election. On the one hand, why would she choose to publish something so openly sinister in her autobiography, at such a consequential time for her political career? She must have known that story would get picked up and blasted in the media. But part of me wonders if maybe, that was her goal. Maybe by including the dog story in her book, Noem was sending a signal to Trump that she wouldn’t flinch to do the cruel, dirty work that maga wants done. And now here she is, doing dirty work.

  The process to log in to the online portal of Outlook is so bad it’s crossed into comical territory. So much friction, only to shunt you to a full screen clippy copilot page.

  I’d be curious to know what the usage statistics are for that page. Like, what could a person possibly accomplish there?

  I like feedbro too. Haven’t found a standalone selfhosted solution that has the same degree of customization.

  I’m trying out freshrss right now and don’t like it. Possibly my issues stem from user error, but, I can’t figure out how to automatically hide articles based on keywords, adding extensions is a pain, and the ui feels large and very in-the-way. By default it truncates article titles, which I find absolutely baffling.

  It makes delicious cheese. Pasturisation kills bacteria and denatures enzymes that are helpful in making good cheese. After proper aging, it’s safe to eat. Parmigiano Reggiano is made with unpasturised milk.

  Thank you!

  I don’t want to call anyone out individually. But I have come across accounts with 7-8k comments in the span of a few months. I don’t really think it’s worth reporting them, and don’t have the time or energy to research and block them individually, I’d just rather have them automatically muted on my end via a tool or plugin.

  I assumed this would be something I’d have to program myself, just wasn’t sure if it was clearly not possible or practical for one reason or another.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What websites still feel like the old internet?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not obscure, but, for me, Wikipedia is the ultimate example of the old internet that still persists today.

  Free to use, no account required, ad free, non-corporate, multilingual, heavily biased toward text, simple and utilitarian design. Hyperlinks concatenate relevant pieces of information, which serve as the means to navigate the site. The code is very simple (seriously, view the page source of a wikipiedia article). It’s based on the human desire to learn and share knowledge with others, and has remained resilient to corruption by commercial interests that pervert that desire for monetary gain. It’s a beautiful thing.
