They would still have everything else to make up for and improve, but maybe it would be a start. Unfortunately self criticism is not in the programming, and its a very dangerous failing. Saying that, the boom in mental health awareness in China is an interesting cultural development occurring since covid, and Beijing has been involved in it.

I ditched it around 2014 when I noticed it had effectively become the yellow pages. Its pretending to be one thing to the ‘user’ when its actually serving someone else. This is transparent of course but the balance/compromise or tradeoff of it still providing some utility to the user despite this is what may vary for different people. My threshold was low. That and the privacy violations. Unfortunately its a corporation.

raindrop.io works well for me for most of what you've mentioned, but its not selfhosted so I’m interested to find out other options also.

Was never a fan fan, but as you say they were always there. I saw them many times and often unintentionally at various festivals. They always gave 120% of themselves when performing . Bloody hard workers. I was lucky to see their final final show day after homegrown. 2 albums played back to back and another whole set . 3.5 hours. That is not easy to do and they gave everything never waning, and showed appreciation to their hometown. It was an appropriately epic and very emotional night. It only took 30 or so years to win me over but I’m now a fan.

Thanks both. I’ve seen enough. Beyond problematic on substicks part.

Mind providing a bit more context to this so I can look it up ? I’ll boycott substick if need be.

No apology needed. Only ever taken the thing 4 times in my life so some user perspective appreciated.

Humblest apologies . Allow me to explain. The post has no context or clarifying info. I’m guessing its a celeb and therefore him holding an nz brand of chocolate is the relevance here? A movie or tv star filming in NZ I guess? But there may be some hilarious subtext I’m missing out on. Yes I could do a reverse image search or search the name in the image, but I’m extremely allergic to the internet - which could also be why I don't know who this person is. You are correct however, I dont care either way. I guess I was more curious why it was posted, and you are quite right to react to my flippancy in that way. Feel free to disregard my previous comment, and this one also.

Cant be arsed researching. Who is this?

If we have to pay for access to something we then don't own, we may as well do it as a collective. So public libraries. Librarians in my country and city are excellent curators and, information and topics on display are more interesting and less insulting than what a pyramid scheme’s algorithm thinks I should ‘buy’ next. They're often topical, relevant to our local community and timely. Libraries and librarians have a vested interested in books being good for us, and the service being useful to individuals and community, which goes beyond physical books also as you say. Amazon is in a race to the bottom with total disdain and disregard for readers, authors and probably even the sellers.

Haha yep. A queue dodger. “I’ll just take this shortcut. Later foolssss…..”

Not to apologise for this driver as he did get out and move them, but it’s also interesting that its only road cones preventing a car driving off this 2nd level ramp. Yeh it should be all thats required, but you know….people.
