I've been listening to 2666 by Roberto Bolaño. So far I've been enjoying it, even though I have no idea where it's supposed to be going. I can't imagine the current plot thread persisting through 28 hours.

To follow the thread of tangentially related concepts:

The Ilizarov apparatus (caution NSFL). The leg is intentionally broken, then a terrifying cage encourages it to heal in a different size or shape.

I'm not sure how much it's used now, but I was presented with it as patient as a potential option about 20 years ago. It was kind of a "please don't pick this one it's clearly worse" choice. Thankfully they'd done about a decade of prep work to enable me to pick the less extreme option.

All things which I don't know how to spell are smarter than humans.

Proboscis monkeys are divine beings.

Or worse: it's in telephone mode now, so obviously you only want the sound from the "call" because there's no other reasons the microphone could be on.

The decision to use Adobe suite is more likely to be a company wide decision. Part of Adobe suite lock-in is also familiarity making things faster. By promoting others, that may help future generations avoid at least part of the problem.

Google services may be much more piecemeal. Even if the boss personally happens to think there's a productivity benefit to using a given search engine, it would be unusual to block others.

Practicing what you preach is sometimes important, but I'm not sure how much it bears on these issues. A single company eschewing either won't make a difference. Getting the public to slowly consider alternatives may.

True but I'd just like to sit and admire the word frugivorous for a moment

The ham used on pizzas around here (northeast US), usually isn't salty enough to work on a Hawaiian pizza. It's often deli ham, which runs the risk of being sweet, but otherwise flavorless.

Bacon or pepperoni work better. Jalapeno also helps.

That could explain the difference in experiences. I filter out those communities as best I can given the tools available.

I've never broken a bone. When I remember that I become acutely aware of how fragile my bones and everything else about my body is for a while.

Has-text is case sensitive. Adding / before the keyword and /i after will set it to case insensitive.

Example:

lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(/Blockchain/i)

You can also use | to add multiple keywords to the filter.

Example:

lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(/Blockchain|ChatGPT/i)

This was recommended when I made my account. There weren't any regional communities for where I'm from, so Finland seems as good a choice as any.

I'm not sure I made an informed decision, but if there are real downsides to my choice I haven't noticed them yet. I seem to be able to see the things I want to. I have to use the block button liberally, but I can't see that being instance related. It's largely due to using All at times, and not having strong enough tagging/filtering tools to make that workable without blocking tons of communities that are fine, but not for me.
