Every once in awhile I go digging around my memory for comics that I used to follow, but don't have in my RSS anymore. Today's one I dredged up was this one: http://wingsofchange.comicgenesis.com which went on Hiatus in 2007ish and never returned.
Enjoyed watching them wander around California looking for authentic chinese food. https://youtu.be/tzRTlnx0MCc

③ today i bring you: an interactive visualization of the six trig functions, which imo makes them make way more sense than basically anything i've seen https://c.eev.ee/viz/trig-functions.html
of course, even the groups that have real posts seem to have spammy postings outnumbering them...
Anyone who's wanting to backup a Yahoo Groups group, https://github.com/hrenfroe/yahoo-groups-backup This fork of the script works, but it's very slow.

I just heard a documentary youtuber refer to 1995 as “the late nineteen-hundreds”, and I felt another old.
Looks like I should be getting my Pinebook Pro sometime soon. Still waiting on word from DHL though.

There are some limitations, but it's still cool to see #Games working on #FreeBSD

@Stainless Leftists do not have a fixation on any kind of guns. They just want to slice gun owners like a salami and ban each slice in turn until nothing is left.. That is why they invented the "assault gun": it's a meaningless classification designed to facilitate bans. Once "assault guns" are banned, they come to ban everything else: guns that have too many rounds in their magazines, guns that are too powerful, guns that are concealable, and so on and so forth until so few guns remain, and they are so useless, that it is feasible to ban them altogether. No leftist actually cares about crime rate, the crime rate does not get into this calculation at all.

This is the PineTime. A companion for your Linux smartphone, and new side-project of ours. More news coming in the future...

#GMail is harmful to e-mail ecosystem; its antispam blocking policy matches too many valid messages as spam.
It blocked LastPass email leak warning email, because it contained "a link" to a leaked site.
It blocked an e-mail from goverment agency addressed directly to me.
It discriminates all non-gmail servers, and it's pretty much impossible to own a private SMTP server these days, because GMail will classify everything as spam.
It's not how e-mail should work.
Consider dropping GMail.
