Ohhh today I learned the lost the negative and the scene is too low res…

Yes I have seen that one and I have no idea why they would ever remove that. As you said, its a critical point.

A friend said to me: “It’s great because Michael Caine acts like the Muppets are real, and Treasure Island is great because Tim Curry acts like he’s a Muppet.”

The social players all moved over to FFXIV

Designers need to wake up and realize their job is to understand what the user wants not what they saw in a wet dream.

Oh, I don’t doubt they are treated well, this barn is just the most dystopian looking thing… Haha. I feel for the little guy. Probably feels lonely and trapped in a bed like that. In most barns I’ve seen the horses can stick their heads out and look around and see the other horses.

I’ve… Never seen a horse stall that looked so much like a prison before. Iron bars? But why?

Because many sites intentionally give you different code because you’re not in a chrome browser and that code is frequently tested with lower priority or not at all due to market share. And Firefox is able to run chrome code.

Additionally some sites actively tell you that your browser is not supported and downgrade the experience because you are not using Chrome.

But in reality the sites really only react to the user-agent, so doing this just makes them use the chrome code.

Sigh… Not showing up for me. Is this affecting all regions?

This actually stems from long forgotten common courtesy to remove a hat when entering someone’s home or place of business.

It’s an ancient custom dating back to the days of knights, and generally courteous when visiting some one new or entering any professional establishment.

I downvote it when its opinion is clearly wack. Like when it tries to give Washington Post a highly trusted rating after all the inflammatory, biased shit they’ve been putting out.

“Cohesive”

This is also represented pretty well in Pantheon.

I mean, gas is the original surge pricing commodity, they have had dark patterns in their pricing long before other companies.

I wont lie, it hurt to shut The Den of Amateur Writing down. That place was a product of the heart. So many good memories.

As I get older I find my heels and arches just hurt randomly walking on hard flooring, and carpets get gross. The solution for me is a pair of sketchers I reserve for indoor use.

The rate at which the results got worse has a notable pattern in line with their drive for ad revenue. Most of the results are garbage because they are driven by money rather than user choice and popularity. The more money you pour into tuning SEO and Google Ads the higher you rank. To hell with relevance or what users actually want.

I ran a web community for writers from 1997 onward, and threw in the towel this year. The site had a core following but we relied on a steady trickle of new users from organic search and word of mouth to stay afloat. And little by little no matter how much time I put into SEO and the site we continued to slide due to a combination of seo rank and google just removing pages without explanation or reason. After spending the last 5 years rebuilding the site for SEO and mobile optimization, I watched google index 99% of the sitemap, our rank come back up slightly, new users starting to come in… And then it just… Stopped. I went to check the indexing, and google had silently moved all the indexed pages back to “crawled but not indexed” for no bloody reason. Zero errors, codes or messages.

I threw in the towel. The site was costing me nearly $500usd a month to operate and I could not throw a dime at ads. I had tried getting ad revenue on the site a few years back even though I did not want ads on the site and it looked promising… I got 90% of the way to covering monthly costs, but before the first cheque was cut google banned me from that service with no explanation. I followed every rule, discouraged regular members from clicking ads unless they really wanted to see the thing the ad was showing. Still got banned. And google just doesn’t even care to explain themselves.

I closed the site in January because I realized the internet I fell in love with, the one I created that community for… Its dead. Killed by capitalism.

Might be for the best. I can throw my coding time at open-source projects now. Just need to find one that entices me.

Religions have been doing this for millenia.

Campbell River resident here, the bear situation here is getting bad. City has a bylaw that explicitly permits people to put their garbage out the day before garbage day, directly contradicting the federal laws about securing bear attractants.

Add to that the complete lack of bylaw enforcement around securing bear attractants and the number of habituated bears in the area is super high. There are at least 4 animals likely needing to be destroyed this year in Campbell River alone there are more if you include the other cities in the area.

Current council is more concerned with persecution of the homeless and any business that treats them like humans. All bylaw enforcement seems to be 100% focused on that.

Trying to set precedent for when Trump finally gets charged?
