I managed to get through 3 years of college (in a humanities degree, granted) with a dinky used thinkpad running the latest ubuntu distro. Only needed it for note taking, pdf readi…

The way to fight it without coming off that way is by advocating for a form of age check that doesn't require personal information, which I haven't heard any really water-tight sug…

I'm not sure what a stablecoin is beyond what I can intuit from the name, but the fluctuating prices of crypto seems like a detriment. However, couldn't the prices of materials lis…

Curious, since I know little about Canada. What were the downsides for you?

Maybe 4chan's just got too much bad juju. I've also always seen pushback for ">greenposting when the text isn't even green..." I admit, it is a unique posting style which invites l…

Can you explain what you mean by "going greyscale only"?

The unicycle idea is actually interesting, I could imagine that working well for a game where you play a little robot character, or a guy stuck on a unicycle. I guess with all the …

Always love to see some RAW love.
