For reasons (testing a new machine) I looked at the department's public anonymous FTP stuff today¹. Specifically, I looked at my subsection of it, where it turns out I'd forgotten that any number of ancient relics were there. It's, uh, been a while.
¹ yes we still have an anonymous FTP server, although you can get the same contents through HTTP(S) too.
There was a time when this was the slogan of #Google
Seems like centuries ago

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.
@fubar You'll want to get the lighter green skinned, larger bitter melon variety & not the Indian darker & smaller bitter melons. Although you could use the Indian one if you can't find the ones we use in Chinese & Vietnamese cooking.
Try this recipe. It's very close to our family version.

why is this Aerolineas Argentinas flight from EZE (Buenos Aires, Argentina) to LIM (Lima, Peru) being tracked by so many people?

I saw this yesterday briefly too, a different set of Aerolineas Argentinas flights. Something going on in Argentina or with that airline?
@packetcat The Pope, again?
If you're a writer, but not a techie, do you like Markdown?
If so, what do you use to write your MD text?
Is any of it public? If so how do you get it on the web? Where do you store it? How much does it cost, if anything?
@davew I am a writer and a nerd. No idea why anyone uses Markdown. But then I have never understood the text editor wars ether.

How to make a preview, when you're short on assets...?
I want to have a preview for episode 2 in the episode 1 release, but of course, I haven't done much on production for episodes 2 & 3.
I have some exterior effects shots (also used in the main title), and then there's the fairly-complete draft audio from the animatic version of the episode.
There's also some fairly good previz -- it's clearly not finished, but it looks okay.
And I absolutely don't want to hold up releasing episode 1 while I work on more shots from episode 2. I set a rule of only using shots or stills with simple effects in Kdenlive.
So, I had this idea of just using the character "portrait" art, along with the exteriors and the audio. This is probably what I'm going to use. It's not too bad.
Also, finally get to use the replacement voice actor for News Anchor, Maurice Thomas, who contributed this somewhat after I had finished the animatic (in which I had recorded the New Anchor lines myself).
Invariably, real actors sound better! I still have a few bit parts in the episode, including one bit where I try to recapture the thick Texas accent of my youth. But I keep it to small parts, as I really am not an actor.
Here's your moment of Zen for the day (2 of 3, pick the one you like best). Sound up! You'll have to imagine the ocean air, I can't post that.
