I just spun up Wallabag on my server the other day to replace Omnivore. Im going to take a look at this, but does anyone have experience or thoughts on how this compares? I’m not so deep into it yet that I couldn’t switch to Linkwarden if it’s better.

My main uses would be archiving articles and highlighting passages.

I remember having this conversation with my mom when I was young and saying something like, “Well that’s great then, this is an easy win. Scientists should be able to examine them and confirm the change and then we know what the Bible is telling us is true,” and she replied that that’s not how faith works. And I was dumbfounded and like, “But… it would be so easy…”

And that lesson of how willfully choosing ignorance is somehow something to be valued was a key turning point in my waking up to the bullshit of religion. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

With the demise of Omnivore I was about to roll out an alternative on my NAS. How does this compare to Wallabag?

Damn I just randomly selected a Voyager ep last night and it was the one where he was a Hirogen hunting a stranded Species 8472. Then I see this today. 😢

Even in full makeup and under a mask it was unmistakenly him, the man was a goddamn imposing presence. You will be missed, sir! 🫡

Yeah but how do you consult those rules? How often are they updated? How do you get notified of updates?

The fact that there are no answers to these questions and therefore everyone is working with mismatching rule sets makes the whole thing useless. You can be totally well meaning and still piss off a server because somehow you don’t know what the currently acceptable magic number is.

I recently visited the states for the first time in a decade and didn’t find out until afterwards that 15% is now considered by some people to be “low”. Sorry everyone who I tipped, I shafted you without realizing it. 🤷‍♂️

How did I have to scroll down so far to find this?

Why don’t they just make the whole ~~plane~~ planet out of the ~~black box~~ paint.

You rock, thank you!

So how do I actually opt out? My website is just some personal hobby stuff on wordpress that only friends and family look at, I don’t need seo.

Nooooo, was just watching Future Imperfect with a friend the other day and when she showed up I was like, "Yaaaay, Nurse Ogawa!" and then found out while cehcking Memory Alpha afterwards that that ep was actually her first appearance. For a character with so little screentime, I always really liked her and wish we'd seen more of her. RIP Patti, we'll raise a glass in Ten Forward to ye!
