Why Reddit’s Blind Community went dark for the first time in its history

It's sort of surprised they were able to get the Rblind.com domain.
No way they would've been able to get blind.com. So domain wise it makes sense.

I can't believe after all these years,we're finally getting a remaster/remake. This is so so so so exciting. This was my favorite snes game.

Mockup: I'm a fan of having all my favorite subs/magazines to access on a glance.
If ever implemented, I'd hope it was optional. Personally, I'd hate it. But more power to those who want the option to view kbin like that.

Daily Calvin and Hobbes (July 3, 1993)

Thanks for your hard work. I must have had at least 5 of the Calvin and Hobbes books growing up. I have a feeling I donated all of them over the years.
It's really awesome getting to go back and enjoy some of the random scans you've done!!!

Is Grammarly premium worth it?
If you have Microsoft Word, just use the built in spell and grammer check. It's far more capable these days and is very feature rich.
Another user pointed out how much worse you can make your writing using it. I had a peer in a group project put our work through Grammerly and mindlessly accept what it said to do and it ruined the writing.
Mind you, I've never been a fan of Grammerly and certainly don't understand how people could pay for it. And certainly would never be comfortable using it for free, because then they're data mining me.

Split-screen/PVE recommendations for Switch?
Reply in thread
If you're recommending Diablo, I'd recommend Nine Parchments over that. They're kinda similar gameplay wise, but Nine Parchments is far far far easier to get into and pick up and play. The skill trees are fairly straight forward and you don't have to worry about equipment stats. We played it a ton a few years ago. Even after playing it for a while and then having the same group try Diablo 3 on the Switch, we went right back to Nine Parchments.
I had played Diablo 3 on the pc previously online with others, which worked. But I don't feel like it was really as enjoyable with multiple people sharing the same screen on the Switch trying to mess with their load outs, go to shops, etc.
Nine Parchments was far easier to pick up and play. You had certain powers. Skill trees you upgraded. And that was it.

Cost friendly data backup

I don't think Backblaze's personal unlimited tier is going to easily support op's Synology. I'm sure there's a way to get it to work, but their B2 service integrates with Synology and is the appropriate route to take. Op's looking for redundancy. I wouldn't want to rely on an unsupported work around to guarantee my data when they offer a service that's targeted towards what they want to accomplish.
Backblaze B2 is probably going to be the cheapest and seamless options since they say it integrates with Synology NAS. It's $5/TB/month.
Microsoft Azure Archive storage looks like it might be cheaper per month, but that's just going based on storage costs alone. This guide has a pretty decent explanation of examples of the cost to upload and store it.
Backblaze B2 has the synology integration and op wouldn't have to think about the costs of being able to access or retrieve the data from something like Azure cold or archive storage tiers, since B2 is sold as a hot storage option.

The great thing with the fediverse is that a big company can run its own forum/microblogging instance and therefore communicate with their customers while maintaining full control over their content.

Honestly, it'd be pretty neat if Microsoft setup their own instance and consolidated all of their communities onto it. The user part is optional. Since it was federated, you could post to it from other instances (right...? Provided they don't get black listed).
I feel like Microsoft has 10 different community forums for all different aspects of their business. Centralizing it onto an instance like this with magazines for each would actually be reallllllly helpful.

Why does clicking on a link bring me to the comment page instead of the link?
Reply in thread
It makes a lot more sense for the title to go to the actual linked article.
Why even have a usable comment button if the default behavior is for the title to link to the comments?

Wow this has probably been one of the best write ups on those features I've seen. Thank you.

Do you listen to music while cycling?
I do mtb trails. It's hit and miss. Sometimes I don't listen to music. Sometimes I'll have one earbud in with the volume fairly low. I never use two earbuds. I've never had an issue, but my biggest concern is being able to hear animals and stuff.
