Update: Eventually I was able to get in using Chrome or Firefox. Their hashrate was much faster than Pale Moon. Still can’t use lemmy.ml in Pale Moon.

I tested some other instances that are behind Anubis: quokk.au, lemmy.ca, lemmy.nz. The difficulty levels they assigned me were 1, 3, 4 respectively and I was able to get in after a few seconds. dbzero uses haphash and their challnge took my browser 566 ms.

No VPN. ISP is Comcast in USA. My OS is Windows 7, not sure if it considers that to be shady. Was using “Pale Moon” web browser at first. Then I tried in different browsers and had similar results in Chrome and Firefox.

What about nature documentaries like “Meerkat Manor” and “Uptown Otters” that assign names to the animals and give them personalities to construct a storyline.

Or historical fiction comedy like “Our Flag Means Death” and “The Great”.

BBC mockumentaries “Look Around You” and “Cunk on Earth”.

That’s from November, it seems like since then they have worked out some of their issues and agreed on a plan to cooperate.

We have a better understanding of how Eric interacted with the App Store API, and we don’t think that he intended to “steal” from us there.

One of the things that we’ve understood from both our blog post and Eric’s is that we have real common ground: what matters to both of us is keeping the Pebble ecosystem alive and kicking. And from the community reaction, what we hear is clear: we can only do that by working together.

Pebble Appstore now has a publicly available backup and supports multiple feeds, providing long term reliability through decentralization.

He wasn’t going to add compass because most people don’t use it, but then he added it to the Core 2 Duo as a favor to a friend who helped on that version and wanted a compass in it.

Is there anything Americans could do to petition other countries to help us? ICC or the UN? Or in civil court, could we crowdfund lawyers to sue the government?

Well calling it a whole genre is a bit of a stretch. Mark Sandman of Morphine coined the term “low rock” for their type of music and there’s a couple bands heavily influenced by them that also use that label. Monique Ortiz makes music that continues the low rock vibe, and then she’s collaborated with Morphine’s drummer on Bourbon Princess, and put out an album with Morphine’s saxophonist as “A.K.A.C.O.D.” And there’s also the band “Twinemen” with former Morphine members.

What I’m most looking forward to on a new Pebble:

• Battery life. With the battery and cpu efficiency improvements in the last 10 years, if the features and other specs stay the same then battery life should be incredible. I think month-long battery is likely possible.
• Improved voice recognition and AI features. Pebble had voice recognition but it sent everything to a server to process. Now they could run speech-to-text on the watch itself or on the connected phone.
• More durable buttons. A known issue with the Pebble 2 is eventually the buttons turn to mush.

these are kind of micro-genres since there’s only a few bands playing in these styles:

• brass house - saxophone-based dance rock. Moon Hooch, Too Many Zooz, and their combined side-project Thundersmack.
• low rock - sax and bass guitar jazz rock style originated by the band Morphine, and continued by Monique Ortiz and the band Bourbon Princess

I wish there was a company like Fairphone or Framework laptops but for TVs.

There was discussion about implementing Hashcash for Lemmy: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3204
