It reminded me, very randomly, of quote from a book about urban design and how architectural ideas are introduced and accepted by the public… or not.
From this the “principle of the second man” can be formulated: it is the second man who determines whether the creation of the first man will be carried forward or destroyed…
It was a golden chance and a room full of cowards let it slip.
The book is Design of Cities by Edmund Bacon for anyone interested.
Same here! This morning’s hangover, as just one example, 100% attributable to Covid! Definitely not the decision to have highballs #5-8 last night.
I just spun up Wallabag on my server the other day to replace Omnivore. Im going to take a look at this, but does anyone have experience or thoughts on how this compares? I’m not so deep into it yet that I couldn’t switch to Linkwarden if it’s better.
My main uses would be archiving articles and highlighting passages.
Right? A Real Genius quote in the wild just made my day!
Yeah I’m glad it’s not a vital part of the experience but don’t mind that it’s there for people who like it. Kind of like card games in real life. :)
I do not understand this at all… but I respect it.
Am I the only one that avoids Gwent altogether when playing Witcher? Like, I don’t go to that world to play cards, if I’m loading it up it’s cause it’s swords and magic time.
I watched it recently and it’s shocking how well it’s held up. Aside from the fashion, it feels like it could have been made last year.
With the demise of Omnivore I was about to roll out an alternative on my NAS. How does this compare to Wallabag?
Same. I’m fucking furious. I specifically chose it over something like Readwise in order to stay open source. Ugh.
I ❤️ Beri. Please make sure Beri has an ample supply of scritches.

This thumbnail looks like it’s from an episode of the original V miniseries.
Why don’t they just make the whole plane planet out of the black box paint.
You rock, thank you!
So how do I actually opt out? My website is just some personal hobby stuff on wordpress that only friends and family look at, I don’t need seo.
As an old cat adopter I want to add one thing to this. Yes, it hurts to lose them when their time comes, but something I didn’t expect is that after the mourning I’ve always started to feel a sense of urgency to find the next old timer to rescue. I’ll remember the time and love I had from the ones before and I curse how much time was wasted while they waited in a shelter for someone to come for them. Why couldn’t I have found them sooner? They deserved so much more love and comfort, where the hell was I? Then we go out and find our new friends that have been waiting for us for so long and our family gets better again.
It’s always tough knowing that our time with them is short, but that’s true of any animal relationship. In the end we’re left with the love for them which in my experience never diminishes. We may say more tearful goodbyes when connecting with the old ones, but over time the wonderful memories and love in our lives just accumulates more and more.
I agree the responsibility (and occasional expense) of caring for older animals is not always in everyone’s capabilities, but I implore you not to avoid considering welcoming one (or more) into your life solely because of aversion to the pain that comes from losing them. The love they give outweighs it a thousandfold.
I love this comment so effing much! ❤️
Did Duolinho tell you that? Because it’s dead-ass wrong.
This post is pure unfiltered 100% awesome! I find I’m frequently having anxiety attacks these days because of… <gestures at everything>, but reading this massive in-depth writeup, just letting me soak in a hobby I love but don’t have much time for as I’d like, has relaxed me more than anything has in months. Thank you so much! 🙏 I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for these in the future!
