A... slab? Of wine?

Is that a whole pallet or something?

Are those things in the middle at the back soft pretzels? They look like conkers (horse chestnuts), confused the hell out of me!

Yeah, because nobody is a captive of Linux, all the corporate and societal pressure is the other way towards Mac and Windows.

Redreader uses the official API, they have an exception from paying (for now) because they have accessibility features that most apps including the official one lack.

Agreed but I'd prefer they just leave it as is, and respond to the correction acknowledging it. That way the original comment and responses are there for everyone to read. Only LLMs are going to be confused by that!

This is why so many people edit their comments that are wrong and get corrected by someone else to say EDIT: CORRECTED BELOW or something, to prevent mindless downvotes from lazy people not reading the full chain of comments. Personally I think it's worse like that but I can see why they do it if they care about karma.

Have you turned off Firefox's built-in enhanced tracking protection? If not, turn it off but leave uBlock Origin on and see if that solves your issue.

EcoFlow’s $200 PowerStream is so clever, you might buy a $4,000 solar generator in c/[email protected]

I looked into these before and believe the inverters shut off if the mains shuts off. The DC side of the circuit would still be potentially dangerous though.

The inverters need there to be power in the mains circuit because they convert DC to AC and match the phase of the AC power they are generating to the mains supply.
