I have given up on the idea of a clean home dir a long time ago. I have "networked" directories (pCloud,Dropbox) in my home for everything I care for, and those are organized "perfectly".
Additionally I symlink .vimrc and .gitconfig to a git repos. Then everything else in my home dir can be total garbage, it no longer matters. The big plus is that if a machine dies I can be back in business in minutes on another one.
Ads and subscriptions seems easier on sites for video than text. Nobody ever made significant money with blogs or other online text form, while some people make a very decent living just producing YouTube videos.
Chemical analysis performed in recent years confirmed that the three encapsulants are made of the same base polymers but their three respective suppliers used different additives in the encapsulant formulation, explaining the varied performance. “As in many cases with PV installations, the devil is in the details,” Virtuani stated. “By just changing a single element, in this case the supplier of the encapsulant, the entire performance of a PV array can be compromised,”
On the other hand, most elections in Canada have turned into one week election, officially 6 days of advanced poll and 1 day of election, and the result has been greater participation.
LibreOffice is amazing, beside being able to open many document formats, it can run headless and has command line options which allow automating some tasks such as converting format that would not be possible otherwise.
> creating a recommendation system that is based on concious curation, not statistical metric
That's good, but that's still a recommendation of authors/channels, not articles. It's still who vs what. For me the concept of "subreddits" is the best we've achieved in in terms of social sharing. It was about what over who. You picked a subject, followed a subreddit, and found articles, videos etc... about that subject. Conscious curation on specific subjects.
I still use the old.reddit.com, but few non-tech people do and the primary Reddit interface has pushed people away from the platform and a lot of the smaller subreddits are drying up.
I understand why the changes were made and it brings the question of how can we create social sharing based on subjects that is either distributed (but easy to use by non-tech people) or centralised and profitable?
For those who don't know, Reddit provide feeds at URLs like `/r/foo/.rss` (although they're actually Atom...)
Annoyingly this doesn't work when combining subreddits, e.g. `/r/foo+bar+baz` is HTML containing posts from those three subreddits, but `/r/foo+bar+baz/.rss` only includes posts from one :(
I hope those can be fixed, I love the concept.
