[23:15:56] <progo> Twitter: can't even get any straight answers before you have a contract
[23:15:56] <progo> YouTube: you can never know the correct rules of behavior and can't talk to someone when you've violated the rules.
[23:15:30] <progo> my friend who is a nobody not-very-good cartoonist sent an application for "Monetization" on Twitter a month ago. their response: no response. not even a "no not right now."

[18:18:48] <fab23> hm, maybe misstyped, janrinok may have access to the secret internet :)
[18:18:21] <janrinok> they call it ADSL
[18:17:39] <fab23> .oO( janrinok may have secrect access to the internet :)
[18:17:21] <Bytram> LOL! Let me get my lunch ;)
[18:16:49] <janrinok> no - give me chance!Q
[18:16:38] <Bytram> Yup, that's it. I thought you had found the actual quotation!
[18:16:22] <janrinok> references libraries throughout the United States and Canada.
[18:16:21] <janrinok> The H.W Wilson Company, and is a staple of public and academic
[18:16:21] <janrinok> journals. The reader’s guide has been published regularly since 1901 by
[18:16:21] <janrinok> recently published articles in periodical magazines and scholarly
[18:16:21] <janrinok> The Reader’s Guide to Periodical Literature is a reference guide to
[18:14:50] <janrinok> 1901
[18:14:50] <janrinok> "H.W. Wilson Initiates Publication of the "Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature"
[18:14:11] <systemd> ^ 03The Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature, October 2012: An Author Subject Index to Selected General Interest Periodicals of Reference Value in Libraries: H. W. Wilson: 9780824211561: Amazon.com: Books

[18:12:35] <Bytram> (That quote was from memory)
[18:12:27] <janrinok> Yep
[18:11:54] <Bytram> Wait! You found it!!!??
[18:11:32] <janrinok> Mine is a completely different thing...
[18:11:19] <janrinok> No, the name that you quoted is correct - I googled it
[18:10:53] <Bytram> Umm. I don't remember the name of the actual publication, bot it was not Reader's Digest. Nice try!
[18:09:32] <janrinok> No, it seems it was not the same thing. But I now know what yours was about.
[18:08:51] <Bytram> And... that was over 40 years ago!
[18:08:24] <janrinok> yes, very. Is that the same publication that we had which was called The Readers' Digest?
[18:06:06] <Bytram> neat, huh?
[18:06:06] <Bytram> I was is college doing some research for a paper. Not much was available in our library. But, there were some references to "The Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature" (Remember those?) So hiked about a mile to a neighboring college to look at what they had. Found a half dozen or so promising works. A half hour later, as I was flipping through a magazine, I found THAT. Oh, that was the *only* time I visited that college! Pretty
[17:56:17] <Bytram> Some background:
[17:55:57] <Bytram> :)
[17:54:08] <janrinok> that sounds perfectly reasonable, and is just how I feel today
[17:53:02] <Bytram> Sometime I just go off by myself. I don't do anything, but oh I accomplish so much!
[17:49:32] <Bytram> Incoming quote; may take me a while to type...
[17:49:19] <Bytram> LOLLL!
[17:48:26] <janrinok> post me a bucket or two please - COD
[17:47:59] <Bytram> ;)
[17:47:42] <Bytram> Heh! We got lots; you're welcome to stop by and help yourself!
[17:44:37] <janrinok> We had our first rain in over 3 weeks - a heavy downpour but we need a lot more.
[17:43:57] <janrinok> quiet - but to be honest I have been taking it easier than I usually do. Not a wasted day but not very productive.
[17:42:32] <Bytram> well... a week of rainy weather is coming to an end in 3 more days, and my friend has been released from hospital but it's not clears how things well go for him. OTOH, I met with some friends this AM and had a good time! How 'bout you?
[17:37:22] <janrinok> having a good weekend?
[17:37:13] <Bytram> Hi!
[17:36:30] <janrinok> Bytram, hi
[17:35:25] <Bytram> fab23: That was *great*!!! TYVM!

[11:10:46] <Grd> Microsoft provide very crappy solutions.
[11:09:56] <Grd> Microsoft's attempt to provide web browser solutions to the world has caused me more angst than it is worth.. but then.. permanent job employement!
[11:08:43] <Grd> Perhaps this is not obvious if you haven't had to support them
[11:07:55] <Grd> I am all behind having multiple browsers, but chrome and edge really suck
[11:07:32] <Grd> we can only hope
[11:06:04] <ted-ious> Because the web without any kind of blocking is not a very nice experience.
[11:05:32] <ted-ious> Well this just means more people will stop using chrome.
[11:05:13] <Grd> I can't stand the internet without umatrix
[11:05:02] <Grd> unless they make changes to how m3 works..
[11:04:54] <Grd> in Chrome.. it looks like no
[11:04:48] <Grd> in firefox, yes
[11:04:36] <ted-ious> Will umatrix and ublock origin keep working or no?
[11:03:30] <Grd> I'll believe that when I see it.
[11:03:22] <Grd> nnnn
[11:03:20] <Grd> Google’s version of Manifest V3 limited features used by content blockers; Mozilla’s promising it’s not doing the same
[11:03:15] <systemd> ^ 03Firefox found a way to keep ad-blockers working with Manifest V3
[11:03:14] <Grd> https://www.theverge.com
[11:03:09] <systemd> ^ 03Chrome’s “Manifest V3” plan to limit ad-blocking extensions is delayed
[11:03:08] <Grd> https://arstechnica.com
[11:02:53] <Grd> Firefox is also looking at adopting manifest 3
[11:02:38] <Grd> the funniest part is that their justiication for the changes is terrible
[11:02:04] <ted-ious> I don't know what chrome does or doesn't do because I won't run google's closed source software if I can help it.
[11:01:55] <Grd> DNS will work. The ad blockers will be limited to how many rules can be loaded, and what they can parse.
[11:01:27] <ted-ious> DNS won't work anymore?
[11:01:19] <Grd> pihole can do most of that
[11:01:14] <Grd> the existing ad blocking functionality may no longer work.. hence.. another method for blocking ads and other web elements will be needed
[11:00:47] <Grd> manifest 3 will change how Chromium plugins work
[11:00:07] <ted-ious> What does that have to do with pihole?
[10:59:40] <Grd> (and look what happened)
[10:59:36] <Grd> Microsoft did just that..
[10:59:32] <Grd> in theory, you could compile your own version
[10:59:21] <Grd> based on Chromium
[10:54:22] <ted-ious> Chrome is just a closed source web browser form google?

[10:42:15] <Grd> like we should all run our own pihole (waiting for chrome to pull the plug)
[10:39:07] <ted-ious> Then definitely we all need to run our own searx instances.

[10:00:38] <AlwaysNever> search engines will be full of crap in short order, thank to AI
[09:36:29] <Grd> maybe AI wil solve it
[09:29:44] <Grd> Interesting..
[09:29:32] <Grd> SearXNG is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from more than 70 search services. Users are neither tracked nor profiled. Additionally, SearXNG can be used over Tor for online anonymity.
[09:18:42] <ted-ious> Maybe we all need to run our own searx instances.
[09:15:28] <Grd> at what point did search engines start forcing autocorrect and only showing results for the auto corrected version
[09:06:08] <Grd> What about the 13th? Red Panda Day?
[09:05:59] <Grd> Will June Eleventh be White Panda Day?
[09:05:33] <Grd> why?

[01:02:50] <AlwaysNever> But why cannot be Christ's death be pinpointed to a particular day in our current calendar, and therefore make Christian's Easter a fixed day??????
[01:01:52] <AlwaysNever> Yeah, I know about the lunar calendar of old Jews and that Christ was celebrating the Jew holiday of Egipt's liberation the days before the Romans killed him, which was baeds in their lunar calendar
[01:00:36] <AlwaysNever> which brings me to my favorite rant: why is Christmas set to a fixed date, but Ester does not?
[00:56:21] <AlwaysNever> I'm all in for neo-pagan or other religions, but let them have their own thing, and not copy cat other things - I don't see the Islam world making a "fake" Christmas for themselves
