Planning a trip that way in a couple of weeks, hope the weather is good!

Never thought about that before, but it looks delicious.

On my current instance since Jun 4, I can't even remember if I had joined a different one before that or not. Beginning of June at least. Basically abandoned R* at that point.

I might have almost destroyed a monitor with bad XFree86 timings on Slackware once or twice. Pulled the plug on that thing pretty fast.

I'm pretty sure I used one that was terminal based, likely using ncurses. Without searching, I can't recall the name of it, though.

I used XMPP a bit among friends, more so when Google supported it, which was probably after ICQ/AIM/MSN wasn't as popular? I don't really talk to many people anymore, so whatever, heheh :)

It would be nice to see XMPP make some kind of "comeback" ... or some sort of popularity boost like mastodon/lemmy/etc in recent times.

I'm a big Baxter fan, never really read anything by Pratchett somehow, and I ended up with the same opinion pretty much. I gave up reading after three books, they just didn't seem to be going anywhere or anything really happening. Great idea, it just ended up being boring.

My daughter reads a lot of books checked out via overdrive on her kobo (in Canada), though the search feature on the kobo itself is kind of garbage. We have better luck doing a search with the Libby app on a phone, checking it out, then syncing the kobo.

I use a Kindle myself (purchased on one of the good sales for roughly half price), though primarily via epub files transferred to the Kindle using Calibre. It's a busy UI, but it does work well and has lots of features. Pretty good as an archive of your ebook library.

Scorched Earth was awesome, never got a lot done in computer classes at school because of it :)

At least it was during the boil? :)

I have two long hair cats. I'm sure there is some level of cat fur in all of my brews.

I gave it a try with my other Star Trek fan friends when it first came out, never played much though. I still have my cards around here somewhere!

Awesome, thanks! Definitely going to give it a try tomorrow.

Edit: Seems to work good so far, it's just what I wanted - something minimal and easy for viewing on the instance I'm using. Beats the quick little bookmarklet I made which was only good for specific pages.

As long as the ads aren't too crazy (I haven't really watched much on Pluto). Sounds cool to be able to just throw on a random episode without having to decide which one. I often enjoy having one playing in the background while doing other things.

I don't see it on Pluto Canada, though. Oh well.
