  • Ooooooh, I'm stupid. I read them on my smartphone, and didn't think to check the computer version of the page.

  • Simplefeedmaker did the trick! Thanks, that was quick!

  • I'm a plain text files lover. When I was a PhD student I just created a big ass .bib file that I wrote by hand and used for my articles and my thesis, organized by type with keywords.

    But I don't know if that would have been livable if i continued as a researcher after my PhD.

  • I love to use obsolete technology, things that still perfectly work but are abandoned. But on the internet, these things are generally populated by computer scientists, and it's a thing I'm not 😅. It's the same thing on Gopher, Gemini (it's new but it's the same ethos), IRC, …

  • Bib(La)TeX is the one true solution.

  • Could you recommend any non-computer related good newsgroup?

  • The porn industry is a sad affair.

  • I was indeed speaking about Linda Lovelace, thanks for the correction :-)

  • It depends of you searched for Lisa Ann or Linda Lovelace ^^.

  • Her story is indeed not unlike Jesus'.

    Like Jesus, she was beaten (you can even see bruises on her legs in Deep Throat). Like Jesus, she was menaced by men with weapons. Like Jesus, she was mocked (and still is, apparently) when she was suffering. Like Jesus, she died abandoned by everyone, poor when others became rich thanks to her suffering.

    But unlike Jesus, millions of men wanked and still wank watching her being raped.

    You think her life was an exception? Think again. Not all pornographic actresses live what she lived, but it's very common.

  • 3.5% of the world population is Evangelical, it's around 1% in my country. It's less than the number of atheists (7% globally, 63% in my country). So no, absolutely not representative. Your answer is very US-centered.

    And in my country were atheism is very spread, I see a lot a manipulated people. Religious people aren't more easily manipulated than others, it's just that religious easily manipulated people are attracted by Evangelicalism.

  • You may be doing a little generalization there. Evangelicals are not representative of religious people.

  • invert the gender of the characters

    Yeah if you change the comics it changes its meaning. That's quite a revelation!

  • Right CTRL + --- (right CTRL is my compose touch)

  • Why Milan?

  • In a perfect world, these would be decided not server-side, but client-side by choices made by the browser users.

    But our world is not perfect.

  • I never watched an X-men, nor the old Dune, so for me Patrick Stewart is Jean-Luc Picard.

  • I did using Gemini (the protocol, not Google's thing) and Gopher.
