I'm glad someone else said it! Sure there are flaws, but being stranded in the Delta quadrant just made everything more interesting.

I'm finishing up my first full watch through of DS9 right now and I'm already craving something more explore-y like Voyager.

Nice find! How long have you been using it and how well has it been working for you? Any quirks with the mobile app or browser extensions or has it been pretty seamless?

The woman confirms that it was her own wish to die. She says that she has had a desire to die for ‘at least two years’, ever since she was diagnosed with a very serious illness that causes severe pain.

I think most people can understand her desire to no longer be in constant pain.

Uhhh... You can't unring a bell 😂

I understand that this new CEO has been dealt a pretty shit hand and is doing their best. But, I doubt they'll win back many people that have already migrated to new tools.

His expression when she said that was GOLD

I've been using Raindrop for about five years. The solo dev really impressed me with his responsiveness to user feedback, so I started paying for premium ($30/yr) even though I don't really need the extra features.

I've used the mobile app, Firefox extension, desktop app (Linux and Windows), and the web app. All have worked flawlessly and have grown more feature rich without ruining the user experience.

The features I use the most are:

  • Endlessly nestable folders that I can give my own icons to make them significantly easier to navigate around
  • Public collections so I can save my favorite GIFs and memes on a public page I can refer back to and share
  • Tagging, descriptions, and notes so I can save a lot of context for each bookmark and why I saved it
  • The built in preview for the mobile app feels buttery smooth, so I seldom open tabs in my mobile browser when I'm visiting my bookmarks
  • The main premium features I actually use are the broken link detector to find links that no longer exist and the permanent copies of those pages

I haven't had a chance to use the REST API, but it appears to be documented quite well.

Overall I've had such a pleasant experience that I've never looked at any other option.

Was anybody else young enough to get endless entertainment out of those demo disks that held a dozen demos on them?

I used Notion for managing my D&D campaign until I noticed I was approaching the limitations of what the free tier offered. That sent me looking for an alternative and I ended up settling on Skiff Pages (at that time I don't even think they had email, drive, etc). It didn't have all the features that Notion did, but it was functional, easy to use, and they were frequently adding improvements.

It's kind of funny to me that they ended up getting swallowed by Notion in the end. I'm just glad that I've long since switched over to Obsidian. My Markdown files can't get bought by Notion . 😂

If you're not memeing, I think that is Josh Hutcherson

That was an amazing night for Baldurs Gate 3! It's a lovely game, so I get it.

I was a bit surprised by the multiplayer win, though 🤔

If they support this game even half as well as No Man's Sky then I'm excited to see how this one works out!

With what I've been through, I'm beginning to wonder if OP is telling the truth 😂

About 7 years ago I got a call from some random lady in her 70s. Turns out her husband passed away not long ago and every computer in the house had Linux Mint installed. She needed someone to help her with some various simple techy things that her husband used to handle.

I couldn't help but wonder how this random lady got my phone number. Turns out that one day, my Grandfather went on a walk down the road and this lady was outside tending to her garden. I have no clue how the conversation shifted to the topic of Linux, but it did. And my Grandpa knew I was in college for Computer Science, so he just volunteered me for this task.

Fast forward to today and I still help her out once or twice a year with whatever random questions pop up.
