yea. but it’s magic. you ain’t falling unless you want to.

this is what that looks like on this page.
.

you can also use stylus (a browser addon) and a userstyle for all or specific domains.

and… firefox’s “reader mode”, if available for the page, also has a basic (serif, sans, mono) font choice.

seems like the logical progression. 1990s sabrina ‘flew’ an upright vac.

in the ‘before times’ we had dial-up bulletin boards and fido-net, which is not that dissimilar in function or architecture: a bbs=instance, echos=communities, netmail=dm’s

the surveillance and ad games were well in-motion by 2016.

i could use one. does he do free shipping?

see https://libreops.cc/ for that option.

not just the billionaires, but also state actors that want to see europe or britain or america or ‘the west’ in general, implode into chaos and disarray.

“…my farts sometimes ooze a little bit, so apologies in advance.”

the lightning bolt is literally part of the logos used by the two bands that inspired these ‘variations’.

not if you’re goin’ that frequently.

preferable by public transit

good call, driving into the city was hell when i lived there in the 90s and it’s only gotten worse.

the trains are great if one goes where you need it to. so i guess the absolute first thing to do is check the service maps for washington metro as well as vre/marc (commuter rail). if her office is near a station, that can quickly narrow down possible locations to near stations on the same line(s).

many of the suburban metro stations were designed to commute to themselves (park and rides), with lots of parking, bike racks and lockers, and kiss-and-ride (drop-off) lanes. some of the city stations have housing on the same block or literally right above them, even.

i’d shy away from alexandria for now, cuz that’s where amazon is building “hq2” (that’s along the blue/yellow metro in va).

lucky you.

i was treated to the purple dinosaur from hell by mine.

plot twist: some of the slop kiddies are sony employees that infiltrated the project.

well, i just fired-up the last of the solus test systems i had here. this one a basic budgie. hadn’t been booted since march. it took all the updates (and there was a lot) just fine. i’m gonna drop another 8gb into it (so it’s 16gb, but it will still have hdd) and use it on my work table as a second (or ‘third’) pc.

turning in that bug bounty was especially heinous.

witnessing that would’ve been the end of the project for me, too.

the walmart store brand sliced bread has been made so cheap now, there’s no ‘substance’. it can’t stand up in a toaster without literally “wilting”. so it will toast crooked and then not pop up because it gets stuck. i have an old toaster, probably from the 1980s. not for ‘bagels’ either, just a normal narrow-slot toaster. it has no safety cut-off on it… i dunno if that’s even a thing… but it will not shut off the heating elements when it gets stuck and can’t “pop up”. the whole thing is a fire hazard.

that’s a deep subject.

i use an old one (the blue accented one) of those keyboards as my ‘remote control’ when i’m watching on the ‘tv’. works pretty well for that… running a media player and web streaming. i did try doing actual ‘work’ with it once, but i had to connect a different keyboard to do any serious typing.
