I have fond memories of Slashdot’s mod system . Members randomly got 5 mod points to up or down vote sometime . Votes were categorized .And that was it . Then metamods would vote on the quality of the votes. I wrote in the past tense but I guess /dot is still around .

He had a whole series of interesting popular music collaborations called Pavarotti & Friends.

edit: one of my favorites is him with Tom Jones singing Delilah.

Even though you say you suck at sleeping on the go, maybe the airport you are at has one of those sleep pods.

I can smell its sweet odor from here . Nice capture .

The thing with reddit is that it loaded with stuff that is easily searched for on search engines. I know if I search for something, i’ll be ending up at the big R. I have been going out of my way asking relevant questions on Lemmy communities instead of using a search engine (much to the annoyance of the ‘Did you do a search first?’ crew) I’m hoping this helps build communities here.

Verisign (NASDAQ: VRSN) today announced a 7% increase in .com prices to take effect on September 1, 2023.

…

Under its agreement with ICANN and the U.S. government, Verisign is allowed to increase prices by 7% per year in the last four years of every six-year contract term. This will be the third hike of this contract term, and the company is expected to increase .com prices to $10.26 in 2024.

Would be nice if ICANN changed the agreement a tad .

Sure . I normally buy top of line flagship phones used. Except for my most recent purchase, they all came from ebay . Most recently I purchased something ‘renewed’ from Amazon.

Make sure the description says the battery is good and that the photos show the screen in good order . I don’t care about scratches/cracks on the back because the thing is going into a case anyways .

Dsl wasn’t offered in my area until 2012 ish. Up till then I was using crappy 3g wireless dongles or my last 56k modem which had built in ethernet ports (still have that modem just in case). I feel this meme.

The thing about fires is that just a simple turn of the wrist with suffice to open a passage to paradise.
