I hadn't heard of Pebble the Twitter competitor. It just makes me miss the Pebble watches.

Odyssey

Kick

Rumble

To install another one that works!

I saw that one from Wired but didn't post it because the body itself referenced increased installations of some adblockers. The title seemed like a strange conclusion to draw from it all.

I wish we had a mobile port of WC3 custom maps. Such good TDs... I also miss Battle Tanks.

I found this interesting in the comments:

Hmm, Raspberry Pi Ltd. joins RISC-V group (Jan 2019). Raspberry Pi Ltd. releases Rpi5 with a unified Rpi1 I/O chip (Oct 2023) freeing them from being tied to a particular SoC family. ARM Ltd. invests in Raspberry Pi Ltd. (Nov 2023). Hmmm...... Really seems like a "here's some cash, stay ARM."

Can you imagine the marketing impact of a RISC-V RPi board after all these years of it being ARM based? Sure, the number of boards effected isn't huge, but it's the marketing impact of losing a flagship product that needs to be considered.

I honestly don't know how people can tolerate it.

I prefer uBlock Origin myself.

I was curious...

I'd imagine their business and enterprise service is what currently or will pay the bills for them. Either way, I love their approach and the fact that it's open source.

Oh no. What issues were you having?

Thanks for flagging! Definitely must've been an issue with Sync!

Yes.

I'll be entirely honest - I stumbled in from All and didn't notice which community this was and was thinking about the words in isolation.

With that said, I think you can think of economies like trees. They can grow in a way that's sustainable and healthy (e.g., public infrastructure, social safety nets, efforts to address income inequality) but they can also be made to grow in an unhealthy way (e.g., subsidizing corporate interests, privatization of public utilities, promoting short-term gain). I think of it as ensuring stable roots and measured growth instead of trying to make it grow beyond its means of supporting itself and letting entire branches break off.

Just a thought though. Interesting conceptualizations either way!

I think cancer would be more unlimited spread like a weed? Unlimited growth to me is more like a tree.

Agreed. I like that the free version works well. The lack of pressure or nagging toward paying is what gets me to want to pay. I usually avoid subscriptions.

I think the emphasis on better is key here. They're better than Google on this front but not necessarily great.

Very true.
