I am trying to get the full version of an article in AdAge, which is paywalled. Unfortunately, 13ft ladder gets blocked by AdAge's DDoS protection, Internet Archive doesn't return the full article, and my university can't help (despite having access to the publication).

However, people with subscriptions to AdAge can "donate" articles to non-paying individuals. Seeing as how I only need the one article, I am asking around online if anyone can help.

Is there a community on Lemmy where it would be appropriate to ask?

Way better than art nouveau, any day.

Not sure. Maybe they're going to replace the nasty proprietary bits with tools and libraries from Linux and BSD?

Spotted in episode 108 ("Shrink Wrap"). I think it's KDE 2, judging by the icon. I don't recognise any of the software, though.

Unfortunately, this particular laptop was owned by Dr. Meridian, a manipulative psychiatrist who caused the suicides of a number of women in his care. Fortunately, Dexter deals with him good and proper...

I swear, if I hear about another openly queer (and also non-TERF) person opposing DIY HRT in the current sociopolitical climate, I am going to owe my landlord for minor property damages.

i.e. I am going to bang my head against a wall until I break through to the other side.

"Know" is a stretch. Plants respond to attack by releasing chemicals (e.g. nettles and grasses), curling or retracting their leaves (e.g. acacia), or by changing their morphology (e.g. holly); but they have no nervous system - let alone a brain - so it's not like you're killing an animal.

That's Bluesky. It's supposed to be a federated social media, but right now there's only one kind of software for it and you can't yet self-host it (although you can self-host your data). The open-source protocol, known as AT, was created by Twitter back in the day, and Jack Dorsey and a bunch of staff were able to rescue it when Musk took over.

AT does not federate with ActivityPub, but users of either protocol can appear on the other using Bridgy; and some Friendica instances have basic support for AT. The equivalent of "fediverse" is "ATmosphere" (with the first two letters capitalised).

Since it became public (as opposed to invite-only), Dorsey left the platform and went back to Nostr (yet another microblogging platform, this time built around blockchain :-P).

It's actually quite a nice place, in my opinion, with a vibe similar to a combination of Twitter and Tumblr.

Sorry for going into this much detail. I just really like explaining things.

EDIT: Turns out, the word being thrown around in place of "tweet" was also slang for cum. I have removed it, as this was probably originally a joke.

Where would The Runaway Bride go? It's set in 2006, but they also travel to shortly before Earth is formed.

Also, what about episodes that are set outside of time or entirely within the TARDIS (e.g. Time Crash)? Or when all of time sort of happens at once (e.g. The Big Bang, The Wedding of River Song)?

What about false realities (e.g. Amy's Choice, Extremis)? Bubble universes (e.g. The Doctor's Wife, Hide)?

And then there's the matter of the Doctor and River. Do we go in the Doctor's order, or in River's order?

What about cliffhangers and cyclic stories?

Absolutely I'd do this, but I'd need a very large corkboard and about a mile of red yarn to figure out the order.

I swear it's being trained on Tumblr shitposts. These are too ridiculous to be hallucinations.

I dunno, man. I'd say they're still cool.
