    It doesn't sound at all like the kind of thing ALEC would do.

    I haven't checked it out yet, but... Wouldn't one not want html text in the feed, if one chose to use a blogging platform whose focus was text and simplicity? I prefer to read feed…

    Low bandwidth could be a feature. You'd know that your winking product can't be sending a whole lot of information about you that way. Or at least it would take a while to do so.

    And draw.io, I recently learned. "You can have the source, but we're not interested in your opinions about it, tyvm."

    Perhaps there are people who don't want the civilisation and platform we operate in to be paid for.

    I think of web3 in a different way than I see it commonly talked about. I think the idea behind the changes in the Internet that people identified as "Web 2.0" was that the Interne…

    Ugh. Why braces ( { } )? That's the biggest tiny pain of using awk. It's an odd stretch for my fingers to type them and I have to look down to be sure I hit them right.

    Who could possibly not be a vested interest? It's hard to think of more than a few cases where I've personally wanted to learn about something and didn't , at some level, hope for …

    I just cancelled SiriusXM earlier this week. They asked why and I said I just don't listen to it enough. They offered a month of a different package free. I said no. And that was i…
