i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.
there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.
anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.
A Better World - create an alternate history timeline
Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game

Six stories on our fascination with knots.
It also helped that he withdrew completely from public life, as opposed to doing the jkrowling thing where she repeatedly announced that anyone supporting her books support her views. Divorcing good omens from him is even easier because Terry Pratchett's daughter stepped up and took over in his stead, but also because there is acutoff that is immediate instead of something lingeringly tainting every aspect of his stories the way the harry potter books and other media is.
This hits tumblr expecially hard because he's a regular poster there and his comments are everywhere, but nevertheless he did inspire a lot of young writers and give good advice there, and you cannot argue that those advice did good when they were being offered, while admitting that asking him anything are not advisable now even if he didn't go full silence.

David Tong: Lectures on Theoretical Physics
Lectures on theoretical physics from Cambridge University.
There's a youtuber who posted completely dressed feet pics - shoes and stockinged ankles peeking out of full skirts on only fan for a parody video on her channel and was surprised by how much it was making her instead.
3D printing is just a tooI? blacksmithing? 3D print a 'lost-wax' plastic mould. Gardening? making some custom very specific mounts or drip ends.
You don't put on a hobby list 'wielding a brush'. It's what you do with it;
The series where he cooks in his own home was very relaxed. I only managed to watch American Hell's Kitchen for a single episode - it feels like torture.
Linking one of the AO3 tag tutorials because tagging? is extremely powerful.

Tagging. del.icio.us style tagging. LJ style tagging. as free-form as tumblr or as structured as AO3's tagging system. any tagging system. as long as there is tagging system.
No. wouldn't. And the kids themselves wean themselves off the kids version at about age 6 suddenly by whatever interests them - seems all:zero for all the kids I'm aware of using the kids version. But the greatest impact in my opinion is understanding a structured lesson is a skill they mastered before formal schooling which puts them ahead. Not to mention early use of english - not our mother tongue.
Khan Academy Kids is incredible. Watching a toddler battle brain fatigue learning the number two because they want to is terrible and terrifying. If you let them pace themselves and treat it as a game without forcing a schedule they easily get two years ahead of schedule. But it is so much an outlier.
All i follow on youtube are archaeological channels, and i was surprised by the sudden influx of videos on israel the very week israel started attacking. I noticed one channel that was hosting an israeli co-host stopped collaborating very soon, and months later posted a very nuanced, very politely angry video. But the number of videos establishing the legitimacy of israel all at once at that time cannot be anything but planned. Even National Geographic had a video out on the origins of Israel, at a timing that is so very suspect.
It doesn't really matter what kind of block it is. Vivaldi comes with TLS (Transport Layer Security overlay), but it is not necessarily turned on if its an old install. If a fresh profile has it turned on, then all traffic leaving the browser are encrypted and cannot be tampered with. you can check if it is turned on--
go to Vivaldi://flags
Vivaldi has TLS active by default at some point for new installs. If new profiles also have that then that's what is happening.
The browser is not using the ISP's or the computer's DNS settings. So DNS blocking/redirecting won't work on it.
there's the ole https://www.reddit.com/r/darknetplan/
kitschy name, but when it was established it was not even planning anything like what it is doing now. meshnet is the section you're looking for.
they are tinier than i thought :D fully ripened whole peppers and they are one and a half cm, one of them even just one cm long
the wild varieties are really small compared to the cultivated ones, 2 cm or so in length.
fermented shrimp paste, pickled bird eyes chili, soy sauce, fresh mangoes and plain white rice. topped with a heaping pinch of msg.

Comic Planning Aids & Art Boards
While it is true that all the information you need to create and maintain a Webcomic is available on the Internet, finding the stuff can be difficult. For example, finding character design sheets and comic storyboard sheets can be quite challenging, not to mention the problem in finding a Manga A4-to-A5 Layout Board that you can actually get to print on your inkjet printer without losing the edges! We have brought together these various elements and put them on this page to make your life a little easier.
The downloads below are divided into three sections: fourteen design, plotting, and storyboard sheets to help the artist and writer create their characters and plot and organize the stories they intend to tell; seven Comic Art-boards used in the Comic industry today, both in Japan and in the U.S; and six comic-book layout sheets (also called signature ladders) to help you fit your comic into the appropriately-sized book.

There really was some ads that get through last month, but UBO fixed that last week. Either you got lucky or you are not in that set - Google do A/B updates before.
Learning Irish - Why not Duolingo, and what to use instead?
Given all the praise and hype that surrounds Duolingo, I wanted to articulate why, in my opinion, it is at best, a supplement, and what to use in its place if you truly wish to learn Irish.
I’ll begin by focusing on the issues with Duolingo in general, followed by those particular to the Irish course itself later on.
I am not going to focus on Duolingo’s highly inflated numbers; while they are better than they were previously, they are still incredibly misleading, as they count anyone who has done a lesson at any time in the past year. Let’s just say, there are not nearly as many people learning Irish as is claimed.
randomly came across these, so yeah.
edit: about this apparently https://archiveofourown.org/works/54711364
They have for public benefit program where they give out their paid security tiers for free? If you can get recommended into it. Build a lot of goodwill there for non-profits community.
Feels like this should be pinned...I didn't even realize it exists.
