I mean, over the years the scroll bar has got less and less visible. Maybe these people don’t even realise it exists.

Are there enough trampolines on earth that we could reasonably expect that at any time there is at least one person in the upper part of their jump on a trampoline?

I mean 30,000 feet is 9km. The Kármán line is 100km. The ISS is at an average altitude of 400km.

It’s a bit like saying people in planes don’t count as flying because then people on trampolines should count.

My plan is to have a self hosted, private site for the family. In the old days, people made their own sites and others could visit. I see this as a replacement for social media - instead of using facebook to catch up on family, this would be a self-hosted alternative. People could still use facebook for other things if they wanted, but this would be somewhere you would know you’d see all the posts people were making, with no ads or manipulative algorithms.

Despite all the options, it’s actually a hard thing to find a good solution. There there is promise in some so I haven’t given up hope yet.

In terms of public sharing, I see Lemmy as one form of that. Anyone can host their own instance but we all share with each other. No ads, algorithms are known and published. For things more like a personal site, it’s never been easier to self-host things.

I still use email and RSS.

If you want to read blogs and minor websites, maybe check out kagis “small web” index (this is free access I believe): https://kagi.com/smallweb

The real web is still there, and probably has as many users as it did 25 years ago, but the average person doesn’t use it. Remember the average person didn’t use the internet much at all 25 years ago.

One thing I want to do is try to create a space for family to hang out. Self-hosted. No concerns about data mining or trolls, just a personal space for us.

They don’t have to use it but starting from the right group, I think they will, many of them perhaps only because it will become the only place to see photos of our kids. Just need the right platform.

Edit: also what’s up Dave on the far side of the world!

I’m actually on the close side of the world 🤯

Oh shit, I think you’re right!

Now that a stretch my memory back decades, I seem to recall I never extensively used 2000, it was ME.

I agree XP was good

I seem to recall something about XP not being good at the start, and it wasn’t until about SP2 that it reached it’s famed quality. But now I can’t seem to find anything about it.

That was not my experience with 2000. Either 98 or XP (post-SP2) were more solider, from memory.

I agree. I keep loads of shot that I’m hoping one day will just be processed by an AI to pick out the stuff people might want to actually see.

“People” includes me. I don’t delete anything (when it comes to photos, videos, etc) and just assume at some point technology will make it easy to find whatever.

In another post about this someone pointed out the photo of the family is a stock image.

My first thought was someone submitted it as a joke posing as a freelancer, but the listed author has many articles published.

My new theory is someone contacted them and they wrote a story, with the person contacting them actually taking the piss and submitting a stock photo pretending it was their own family.

I can’t see anywhere on the box it claims it’s fun for the entire family. It’s a two person game after all.

Presumably standing seats means standing up? Hopefully not squatting seats.

Yeah me neither. Makes no sense.

Found it. It is.

Now that you mention it, it probably could have done without season 2.

I don’t know about others, but I kinda liked Picard. It was clear it was just an excuse to get the old gang back together, but it was enjoyable to watch.

I’m not sure how enjoyable it would have been to someone unfamiliar with TNG, but I enjoyed it.

I think I will reserve judgement until I see it. A getting-the-gang-back-together series or two could be a good time, or it could be another “Scrubs: Med School”.

From Wikipedia, he was just a mascot until:

The Timberwolves struggle in the championship game and an injury leaves them with four players. Buddy shows up to the crowd’s cheers. After it is discovered that there is no rule preventing a dog from playing basketball, he is added to the roster and…

I used to work with someone who had a postit in the end of a cardboard tube that said “Leave me alone”. They would stand it up on their desk when they needed to focus.

Then it will look off when it’s on 😆. I just want to be able to tell when it’s off by looking at it. It doesn’t actually bother me, it’s not in my bedroom, it’s in the lounge attached to the TV.
