Kiwix is a self hostable option for this, and you can get other content databases as well, like wikiHow, iFixit, and Khan Academy.

The downloads are much faster than two weeks too.

I'd say it's worth it just because of the mods available. $30 for the base game while having to pay for any extra song packs is too much, but the functionality and thousands of extra songs that mods bring makes the value much higher.

I heard about the Light Phone recently and I think it's a decent bridge between the old brick phones and modern smartphones. It has navigation and music functionality that a brick phone wouldn't, but doesn't have all the rest of the attention thieving bloat of a smartphone.

It would be nice to have music streaming capability and alternative messaging apps (Signal) and perhaps a web browser, though.

They should really look at changing their national anthem.

I hope it comes to fruition, but the duopoly is quite established.

I blame the moon for not being blue more often.

Yes, but the alternative is far worse. I present America as Exhibit A.

And that one is a pompous windbag.

And most Canadians are descended from immigrants who arrived in the past century.

There was a Revisionist History episode of the gun control failings in the US and this smells much the same. Boiled down, politicians trying to regulate things they don't understand, leading to ineffective regulation and unintended consequences.

I've got mine on a subdomain through a Cloudflare tunnel that points to my local nginx proxy manager (with wildcard SSL certs) then to immich. You can do access control through Cloudflare as well. Quite low risk in my opinion as long as you protect it properly.

At least in my experience, enjoyable work on a project you have control over is quite different from working on projects for the corporate overlords with unreasonable expectations and deadlines. The former can be a really good outlet to remind you how rewarding work can be when you have control of how, when and what you work on.

Are there any reputable offset providers that have been audited to ensure they are actually saving the value they claim? I like the idea of offsets but I feel it's open to be rife with overstated savings claims.

Looks like that one isn't maintained. That page links to this one instead.

Commas.

Let me clarify, I will not be purchasing this game if I want to play it.

There's that series of pictures taken on a street that shows a comparison of how much space it takes to move 60 or so people in cars vs a bus vs bicycles. Obviously, the cars take up vastly more space than the other two.

Walking shouldn't be the only other option. The influence of car and oil companies has created a car dependent dystopia in North America, where it seems like it's either car or walk. But it's really the same as the trash problem. If trash bins were freeways, we don't need more of them, we need to be more efficient at moving people, essentially reducing the trash.

Perhaps one should ask why there is so much trash to be thrown away in the first place.

Bins wouldn't always be full if there was simply less trash to put in them.

Isn't that Disney's fault (and their government lapdogs) with their efforts to hang on to Mickey Mouse as long as they can?
