Such pain, and you didn’t bother to name the GitHub project you’re trying to make work. Maybe it’s not allowed in this sub?

Anyways, maybe you need to install python-dotenv from conda-forge? Never done this before so don’t know if this will work. But worth a try.

See here. Might be worth your while to just do

conda config —add channels conda-forge
conda config —set channel_priority strict
conda install python-dotenv python-dotenv-with-cli

This is one of those “no shit” things that Rachel Carson talked about in 1962.

Seems like they need a new…… process to deliver books based on age groups.

The pic at the top.

So the NYT has endorsed Trump for President? Douchebags.

Wtf

No. Dark UX has been around longer and is more nefarious than enshittification.

I use it. It’s nice.

Nice little history there. Fuck EE.

Usenet costs money the same way as your email (should) cost money. They’re hosting a large amount of content, they’re paying fees to their ISPs to let them send that content to you, and they’re fighting spam and other crap.

If you want to do nothing more than chat with folks on Usenet then you don’t need a VPN. Just like if your only download Ubuntu from torrents you don’t need vpn. Anything else and a vpn is a good idea. That said, I recommend you should always use VPN. Your isp is not your friend. They will steal your data. Heck, even your VPN isn’t your friend. Regularly read reviews of your VPN and ensure they’re privacy friendly and charge for their service.

Do not fall into the Onavo trap.

Yeah Google bought a really great thing and ran it for a very long time as their own version of stackoverflow. I bet stackoverflow was a response to Google’s monopoly on groups answering questions.

What’s scuttlebutt?

And no, not individual and not LAN. WAN. A Usenet server could easily service hundreds of folks if not thousands. It would collect all their posts and then aggregate upwards.

BTW, OP and others… Incredible Doom is the name of an online and print graphic novel series that has Usenet at its core. It’s a lovely piece of art created by very talented artist. Check it out from your local library or used book store…

Or… cough… from your local Usenet group dealing in comix warez.

If I recall correctly, ISPs were often running their own Usenet servers. This meant that traffic didn’t leave their networks and thus they paid less network interchange fees.

These days maybe only niche ISPs in some parts of the world might be running Usenet servers. Majority of them are run by specific companies created specifically for the purpose.

Instapaper. I gave in and started paying for their subscription. It’s worth it. No other tool has come close to the simplicity, cleanliness, and power of Instapaper for me. It can handle most links, most ad removal, most paywalls.

The team became stagnant for a long time. But they recently declared they want to start reinvesting time into the product. That included doubling the premium pricing. But it’s the first change in pricing in almost 10 years. So it’s long overdue.

• LinkDing for bookmarks
• Memos for notes
• FreshRSS for rss
• homebridge to connect to IOT devices like Kasa Bulbs that aren’t on Apple’s Home service.

For iOS folks, a-shell and iSH can do what termux is doing on Android. Ffmpeg, most userland Linux things.

Both are open source.

Haha no.

Keeps getting blocked of course. Gets into arguments frequently online.

W3s is where is starts for me. Then move to MDN for more specific and in depth things. W3s just gives the best examples and has that lovely playground for every documentation step.
