A Map of the Internet from May 1973
The network was so small in the early days that those circles and squares on the 1973 map represent individual computers and routers, not universities or cities. https://kottke.org/19/03/a-map-of-the-internet-from-may-1973
He he. Thanks for that. Yeah, I know Mozilla are not perfect, but a non-political, non-profit organisation like Mozilla has more chance of doing right than a giant for-profit tech giant.
RT @deshipu: @rochelimit What trustworthy organization did they get to participate in that?
Mozilla has announced their new secure way to share large files over t'internet. It'll be great to have this problem finally solved without signups, and by a trustworthy organisation too.

Filler English text in Japanese TV shows (mostly anime).
(Plus some bonus content of Japanese filler text in English-language media, for good measure.)

No, auto correct, I did not mean ducking. I have never meant ducking! And neither has anyone else! Duck you!

I removed my glasses and the right-side lens dropped out of the frame. Where the screw went, I have no idea. I brought the glasses to a small business I had never used, and the next day, I picked the fixed frames up. "How much do I owe you?" I asked the man, who shrugged and smiled, and replied, "I only put a screw in there. You don't owe me a thing." I reached out, shook his hand with appreciation and told him, "Thank you." Some days just seem to have kindness baked right in. #smallstories
