Agreed. Also the address listed on the about page is looks to be to the Texas Sculpture Garden in Frisco Texas. Sounds like a park, not an office.
Me either
Re:Europe is scaling back its landmark privacy and AI laws on Thursday November 20, 2025 @02:24AM (#45989894)
I have mixed feelings about this one. While I was never too excited about some of the unintended consequences of GDPR. That said, I do see benefit of the EU being the world's regulator on these types of things. I don't have confidence that anyone else would do it if the EU didn't. Even for those of us that don't live in the EU (I am in the US myself), I do feel like the EU plays the role of keeping things in check for the rest of us even if we are directly impacted by their regulations.
Anyone figure out yet which 40 airports these are?!? All articles I have seen say 40 airports but don't mention which ones
Re:Mozilla to shut down Pocket on July 8 on Thursday May 22, 2025 @02:28PM (#44065123)
I have been paying for readwise for about a year and a half now. I was a pocket subscriber for years before they got bought out by Firefox. All that said, I wouldn't call myself an advanced user of either (tag a lot less than I would like, want to revisit more than I do, etc.).

I am reasonably satisfied with read wise as a replacement/upgrade to pocket and will continue to pay for it for the time being. My least favorite part is it needs 2 apps/extensions for full functionality (readwise and reader). It works but feels clunkier to me than it needs to be.

I bought a year of kagi and overly very satisfied. 2 things that annoy me about it: -I randomly get irrelevant international results as a US person (Amazon Canada and Amazon India for instance) -There are inconsistently labeled timestamps on things. I use reddit a lot when reviewing search results. Sometimes the reddit links are timestamped and sometimes they aren't. Leads to end up clicking on a reddit link that is 6 or 8 years old and no longer revelant.

Other than that is works really well!

Gemstone (currently Gemstone IV) is an online MUD that has been around for 30+ years and has a pretty thriving community and very active development as well as strong gamemaster interaction. https://www.play.net/gs4/

There is a free subscription but it is quite limited compared to the paid membership. I used to play back in the mid 90s and resubscribed a few years ago because I have found nothing else nearly as complex or immersive. Steep learning curve to start but folks are often willing to help others learn. Check out the learning wiki at https://gswiki.play.net/Main_Page
