This is what allowed Temu and Alibaba and Wish and the like to happen (their business model was to send every single product as a single package worth under 800$, leading to enormous shipping times and waste etc., but they don't have to pay import taxes).

Support your local independent bookstores (if you still have any)!

I don't know how common bookstores that are not part of large chains still are in other countries, here in Germany we have this thing called Buchpreisbindung (roughly translates to "fixed book prices") which means bookstores actually have to compete only through presentation and their professional advice. Independent bookstores often have very knowledgeable personal that can give you great advice for free (in case of Germany) or with little extra cost compared to just ordering on Amazon/one of the corporate chains, e.g. at the bookstore around the corner the owner has been selling books for 50 years and has read basically everything ever published at this point.

She has just recommended me Gentleman overboard which is a short, although nonetheless incredibly moving book about a gentleman... well, going over board.

As for the titles/front page design/self-help books: I feel with OOP, but this seems to be what people care about/still feel they have the time to read. One actually very good (although slightly older) book from this rather modern category is The subtle art to not give a fuck.

Tldr go out, search for and support independent bookstores!

Truly a shitpost indeed

This is great news! It’s absolutely crazy how bad IPv6 adoption still is; it’s basically still impossible to run any service IPv6-only, even if it’s only for like, modern, expensive devices where I think it would be fairly reasonable to expect good support for "newer" standards.

Cat wins

This is not real, right? RIGHT?

Wasn’t that an implosion and therefore instantaneous?

I would suspect because there is probably space for errors in the detection system

Logseq, it’s a lot like Obsidian as it also has knowledge graphs, tags, is markdown-based and self-hostable but, in contrast to Obsidian, it’s fully open source

I think the latter makes clear that this is a joke account, doesn’t it?

Why would you want desktop icons? I mean I get it, there were quite popular back in the day, but I don’t see how a big junky place of a desktop has any benefit

My favorites:

• OpenTTD: Old transport tycoon game, but really fun especially in multiplayer
• Minetest: Minecraft-like voxel game engine, which means there a many different game modes
• Beyond All Reason: Great RTS, also great in online multiplayer or with some friends. (Disclaimer: Possible unfree licenses for artwork)
• Dwarf Fortress (free but not open source, thanks for telling me that one): not everyone’s cup of tea, but sometimes you just get stuck in it for hours on end
