I exclusively surf "top 6 hours" and I've actually noticed an uptick in niche community content, lately. Different kind of growth, maybe a sort of settling into itself, finally.

They could just pay their fucking taxes so we can have trains

proportional

Maybe they just don't have the actual numbers you'd expect from their outsized presence in the discourse, when they're not being protected, or facilitated, or actively promoted by engagement algorithms or the individuals who own the other platforms.

(I'm pretty sure this is the case, but I'm too lazy to get sources just this minute)

Excuse me what? I've been multi cd'ing for years like a chump?

Survivorship bias, I think

Misread "worm" as "woman" at first, was concerned.

I tried something like this for my office chair. It was fine as a seat, but it raised my overall position on the chair vs the backrest and i ended up throwing out my back from the resulting offset. So, mind the chair you intend to use it on.

It's good branding. "China," as we think of it, fragmented into states that recombinated into different versions of what they each claimed to be the rightful empire, many, many times. It's like a ship of thesius thought experiment, almost, but sometimes the boat is a pile of wood, sometimes it's a galleon, other times it's a fleet of smaller boats.

And sometimes it's Turkish. (Sorta)

Gandhi. Seriously. Sleeping habits aside, dude was pro-apartheid.

Running the title though Google and looking at the discussions around it in various corners of the Internet seems to indicate it's utter bunk.

I call this my "rule of three" - I wait until I've seen "something" three times before deciding on an abstraction. Two isn't enough to get an idea of all the potential angles, and if you don't touch it a third time, it's probably not important enough to warrant the effort and risk of a refactor

Yes, well, my spoon is too big.

If you want to talk weird, each leg on a horse is actually one really long finger.

Seconded. I'm a dude in my mid 30s and I love those movies

... Still haven't seen The Wire 🥲

I wish people would start plastering this bad boy all over the place. He haaaaaates it.

That's a whole can of worms

Future archaeologists dream 😕

Served as "flat files" - filesystem, object store, what have you. No server logic generating content, just passing around of strings and binary data. Files are the representation are the source of truth. Counter to a web app, where the content response is ephemeral and the "source of truth" is scattered across a writeable DB and recombinated (potentially) on every request.

Interesting question though, I (a web dev) just take the term for granted.

no focal point, no leading composition. just an assemblage of stuff that's adjacent to "sage wisdom."

why a sunset? that's has meaning. owls are symbolic, but why here? it's a weird combination of technical aptitude with zero point of view.
