Here is an article by one of the cited sources covering a lot more cities. Was quite surprised to see Minneapolis at number 36 and Portland at number 45, as those areas are quite well known for having good cycling infrastructure in the US.

I tried out Mastodon once, never really got into it. Fast forward to Twitter’s acquisition, shit hit the fan, you know the story, but I wasn’t really convinced until some of the decisions lately. Tried out Mastodon again, and whilst it was nice, it wasn’t really for me. I figured I’d try looking for another instance, and I ended up landing myself on Kbin as it has Lemmy support for topical discussions, as well as microblogging capabilities for who I keep track of on Mastodon. I don’t post that actively, but it’s been great so far!
Cramming for a 1600 SAT? Pffff, just grind Tetris for a center 4-wide, get some real work done.
In my curiosity, I bought a Nook Simple Touch off eBay for 15 dollars a few months ago. It actually works really great for reading EPUBs off Overdrive and OpenLibrary, and it definitely makes night reading a hell of a lot more comfortable, lasts quite long on battery, even as a cheap second hand device.
I think the fact that more information is becoming readily available on federated platforms due to more people moving over to Mastodon and Lemmy for example is definitely making the platform grow as well. With Twitt- sorry, “X” locking down threads to an account, the information on there, as well as other sites eventually, I guarantee, will become less accessible over time. The fediverse hardly has that issue of it’s information becoming less available, and if anything, the structure of hosted instances makes that near impossible for the time being to be phased out. If Threads, for example, went through with adding fediverse support, it probably would not be as widespread as others like Mastodon as such, because the sites that power ActivityPub were designed with users in mind instead of profit.
I honestly think the crescents are the best pieces, a nice seasoned and crunchy contrast from the softer (but still glorious) spuds.
What I just said was that archiving for preservation often is done with piracy. You need to get the content one way or another to archive, especially with the vast library on there.
The Internet Archive, even outside of their Wayback Machine, is effectively built on digital piracy in many ways if anything. The reality is that any sort of media, whether it’s physical media that was destroyed, or digital media that was deleted or had it’s host platform shut down, could possibly never be accessed again unless it’s archived, even if that archival was done with piracy.
Mother 3 could be considered impossible to play legally in many ways, with most of the cartridges being sold unofficially with the English ROM hack being preapplied, and the originals starting near 75 dollars on eBay, and Nintendo isn’t making any money off it anymore, so in many cases unless you’re a collector, it’s best to just pirate the game with an English ROM translation.
The Internet Archive also has an archived online library of books that you’re free to borrow from, similar to an Overdrive-like platform of sorts, which is great for finding information that isn’t publicly available, or to read a book that is simply rare used and not sold anymore or where another copy isn’t to be found.
Name is Brent, pals screwing around. Pal takes Mr. Krabs quote, “sponge boy bob”, puts name in, “brent boy bob.” Abbreviates to bbmb, “m” is pronoun.
Even as a person who’s gone through the Almeda fires in Southern Oregon, this is one of the most horrifying videos I’ve watched. The entire area seems to be engulfed in flames, I hope everyone is able to evacuate safely.
I use a near-base model 2020 M1 Air, 512GB SSD and still 8GB RAM. One thing I can confirm is that this thing very rarely slows down. That being said, I’m a software developer that doesn’t do anything THAT rigorous, but I’ve been able to smoothly do tasks in the background during compiling, and goes through it quickly. I have some friends that do heavy work with Logic Pro, and their base M1s have no problem as well.
So all in all, whilst it ultimately depends on the type of work and intent to be done with it, $3000 is still probably overkill, even with a Mac.
I just started using kbin.social after not really feeling satisfied with Mastodon personally, wanting something more topical like Lemmy, but I still wanted some Mastodon compatibility due to most of my mutuals on the Fediverse using Mastodon. Landed myself here, so far so good!
Some websites seem to hardly circumvent reader view, but to the point where it can be inconvenient. Reader Mode only works with the NY Times if I rapidly click on the “Toggle reader view” button whilst it’s loading, otherwise it’ll cut off. But it still does work brilliantly most of the time and gets the job done.
