This is really awesome! I was just about to start looking for something like this, so great timing. Going to get this up on my Unraid server tomorrow and play around with it

That is such a depressing way to look at things

That’s like telling me to not read sequels to books.

Just because it shares mechanics and characters does not make it the same game.

Yeah, the doing it in secret can definitely be worrying and flame rumors, I agree. I’m being optimistic that the new owner is someone close to them and they’re still working out details before announcing who they are

You make it sound like the site has been destroyed and enshitefied. Do we have any proof of such so far? Or can we put our trust in the guy who made it to hand it off to someone he trusts to do good by it? Everyone is freaking out about a possibility, which isn’t without cause since we’ve seen what can happen with other companies, but so far there is no need to pull out pitchforks.

Exactly. We’re hearing about the edge cases so far, which there will ALWAYS be some for any product.

Not defending Nintendo here. I’d love to be playing the new Mario Kart, but not at those prices.

Guy worked on the site for 24 years. Think he deserves some nice things himself (like reclaiming his life)

On a different instance.

Says it hold 150 gallons in the bottom left. I’d wager someone just photoshopped the arm, tube, and text onto an existing bean bag listing

They are oftentimes refered to as the same thing. Avatar came around first IIRC (it was generally an avatar of who you are, not what you actually look like) and slowly morphed into profile picture as social media took over and people forgot about the whole “don’t give strangers your personal information” thing.

I still use avatar personally. Older term for same thing

Some people just have big hands. Looks real to me, it’s obviously just a staged shot for promotion. Get a crew to build part of a fake attic (don’t need a whole attic for this), lay some insulation, have the talent (the guy in the photo) hold the insulation and look nice for photos. He leaves, they break it down and move on to the next project

A web browser is not a computer. A phone is not a desktop computer. Google (and most other large companies) keep many features restricted to their full websites, not mobile apps and mobile versions of their sites. For those who are used to/grew up with smartphones, tablets, and chromebooks, these tactics help to make it harder to leave their ecosystems as they aren’t used to navigating desktop environments.

(Chromebooks do give desktop versions of websites by default, but they have helped reduce technological literacy in exchange for convenience)

They said to try again on a computer. All your screen shots are from a phone. You might get the same result, but we won’t know until you attempt it.

It doesn’t sound like they’re making more work for you. It sounds like you’re making more work for yourself, and it sounds exhausting.

Ground News. I know it gets sponsored a BUNCH so it might be a turn off, but it really does what it sets out to do

The LDS church is big into genealogy and has a competitor called FamilySearch. No submitting DNA or anything, it’s actual genealogical research. I believe it’s free as well (could be wrong)

It’s not a calendar, it’s an appointment scheduler

This was my first thought as well!
