Also “I can’t get through to them, they must be on the internet”

I used to think that there was a country called Cyclopedia, that was full of all kinds of fascinating things. I had a book all about it called “In Cyclopedia”.

It’s on Flathub. It’s open source C++ so what ever you can compile it for.

I tried it near to when it first launched, I had been hoping for a Fediverse replacement for Reddit ever since Mastodon (I liked the idea of Mastodon but I wasn’t a big Twitter user). It was pretty inactive back then and didn’t cover enough subjects I was interested in to hold me initially. Then I came over fully with the Reddit exodus.

It’s famos for being chock full of c*nts most of the day.

Also how it’s eerily dead on the weekends.

Ironically one of DDG’s early selling points, before they fully jumped on the privacy bandwagon, was that they would filter out results for low-effort content farms (this was pre-LLM stuff).

I had used DDG since almost the beginning and it was one of the things I was originally sold on. It’s difficult to find a source for it now but I did find this: https://web.archive.org/web/20110608072253/https://www.technologyreview.com/blog/post.aspx?bid=377&bpid=25532

Are you (or is anyone here) daily-driving Stract yet? I discovered it a few months ago and thought it was everything I was looking for in a search engine, but also concluded that its search results aren’t up to the standard I can use for now, so I filed it as one to look out for. Would be interested in hearing others’ experiences.

I’ve always maintained it would have been an amazing game without the glitches. In a way I can appreciate it for what it nearly was.

For me (UK):

zsh = zed ess aitch

sudo - exactly the same as “pseudo”

ssh = ess ess aitch

I’m not alone in this, it’s only what all of my colleagues say.

True, I hoped the next generation wouldn’t make the same mistake…

Downvoted it because OP didn’t specify where in the world they were, therefore nobody can properly give a good answer. Recommending an overseas university is very different to recommending one from their country.

On the scale of Greensleeves, I would suggest Yesterday is today.

Yes that’s right, and I realised I could no longer be a historic game hardware collector with that generation of consoles which killed my main hobby at the time. Years of Nintendo loyalty and, dare I say it, fandom, were betrayed and the Wii itself was just awful.

So Nebula got rid of him (which would seem to coincide with his drop in output)?, Kurzgesagt seems to be doing just fine in comparison.

Nintendo Wii: as a loyal Nintendo purchaser here from the Game & Watch, to the Super Nintendo, N64 and GameCube, but the Nintendo Wii never let me back up my purchased downloaded games in a way I could transfer to another Wii without online access. I get that that’s now standard but it was the first time I was burnt by it.

Good call, never come across one that isn’t a dreadful user experience and I’m confused as hell as to why they’ve become so popular.

Sorry, do you mean the current CEO of Nebula or of YouTube?

Yeah, it’s weird, CGPGrey videos used to be the most must-watch of all YouTube for me and I subscribed to his Patreon at one point. I listened to Hello Internet loyally and I was even unhurt about how it ended. I still think he’s an interesting guy and would follow his stuff again but he doesn’t seem to be doing anything of interest to me any more.

What happened with Standard/Nebula?
