When I put text on an image, I set a stong contrasting text border color (like black) to make it readable.

It would help greatly here.

Downpour is great for audio books. I was pleasantly surprised to find a non-mopoly replacement for Audible.

Did I miss something, or is a 12 year old in France now in (indefinite?) police custody for being curious online?

Blocking JavaScript makes it load fine, at least.

Altair Basic was released in 1978 for hardware that sold around 25,000 units..

I'm sure glad computing remained exactly equally complex since then, with exactly the same number of users, and same minimal diversity of use cases. (This is sarcasm.)

Everything should still take 10 days. Anyone who tells me it takes longer probably believes all that crap about the Internet being more than a passing fad. (Still sarcasm.)

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be buying one at the first opportunity.

My other action figures are going to have to stand in the shadow of the glory of "it's just Jack Black, I guess".

(No sarcasm. I'm really going to buy this. I love the idea of Jack Black just playing "Jack Black".)

Maybe because there are no "CEO"'s of the fediverse and so it doesn't fit the narrative.

John Mastodon would like a word with them.
