I’ve been using NewsBlur since I read Cory Doctorow’s piece about RSS readers: https://pluralistic.net/2024/10/16/keep-it-really-simple-stupid/

It works fine, and I’m just on the free tier.

It would be helpful if this included an explanation, rather than just an assertion. Can you explain how FPTP allows this, and how proportional representation fixes it?

Maybe Cory Doctorow can? https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/04/teach-me-how-to-shruggie/

Pretty close! It’s tar-soaked hemp fibers (rope traditionally being hemp), called oakum. Sometimes cotton under that for filling if needed. To me it still feels more about carefully easing out, particularly since paying out also has other uses that aren’t rope related, like falling off to leeward after a tack.

As long as we’re being pedantic, when you pay out pitch, you’re not covering the deck with it. You’re making lines of it that go in between the deck planks. It’s basically caulking. You actually have to be careful to not get it everywhere (not least because pitch is really hot when you’re paying it out), so just like when you’re paying out a line, there’s a sense of careful control and easing out the pitch.

I’ve been on the $5 a month plan, and go over probably half the time. The months when I do go over, it just means I start the next month a couple of days early. I’m probably actually somewhere around $6 a calendar month; my Kagi month is probably only 28 days or so.

Ah, but “Platner” and “Palantir” have most of the same letters!

Surely the x axis is time, and the y axis is “some metric”, right? Otherwise, spot on.

ChatGPT, of course! What’s the worst that could happen?

Yeah, that’s what my dad says, and he’s a medieval historian, so I believe him. I guess it’s possible that lifespan in 1901 was much shorter than the middle ages, but that seems unlikely

It’s been a while since I installed is, bit I think the only thing I had to do was make a shell script executable, which I think it says to do in the readme? Could be misremembering though.

Ahegao

It runs fine on Linux for me out of the box.

Dungeondraft is the way to go IMO: buy once, no sub, tons of extra assets available. There’s also Wondedraft if you’re doing world maps.

Ah gotcha, good point about traceability. Maybe just Monero cryptobros? I don’t know what kind of growth that’s seen though; may not be particularly exciting.

Oh, I meant more like going on the dark web to buy a list of everyone whose email got leaked by Ledger, then cross-referencing that with a list of other known credential leaks, and trying all those username/password combinations on Gmail, coinbase, and wherever else until I find someone’s wallet with millions in it then just draining that.

Probably by looking for cryptobros with bad opsec.

The poor (anyone who already is, or would end up on the street if they stopped working for a couple years.)

I’m hoping you mean “weeks” here rather than “years”. Anyone who could just stop working for a few years without becoming homeless, I would classify as rich.
