The edit is where most of the insight is on that page, and the reader comments on it are the most entertaining part. Quite a lot of the authors list seem to be things that are useful to discussions, albeit by virtue of helping newer users b

The headline on this post is misleading. The text seems accurate, though I think the author is unaware that T-Mobile exists in other countries beside the US, and the wikipedia links are not totally clear if the block applies to all of T-Mob

Playing around with this, seems I created a new channel/room/page called "raar" ( https://coffeehouse.chat/raar ), I wasn't expecting it to just let me create something that seems to be just there on

I wouldn't say your UI is bad - it's certainly a reasonable MVP at this point. You could probably stick ads on it or a newsletter sign up on it for people interested in it. If I wasn't looking for UI improvements to point out

Building a game with my dad when I was ~9-10 is a fond memory of mine, and how I got an interest in coding. I was really into my N64 but wanted to make my own game for it around the hit British TV show "Robot Wars". Of course we d

I wonder if the old one child policy had a knock on effect, changing the societal norms and views of having multiple children? A knock on effect that didn't go away after the law was relaxed perhaps.
