hledger is not just a budgeting app, but an accounting app to track your finances, debits/credits, investments, etc.

Why would disney want to divert attention away from trash cans? Don't you want them to to visible for folks to be able to use?

I get the desire to divert attention away from infrastructure stuff, though.

> Imagine your own scenario where the facts reported on the day might conflict with something claimed to be true much later, and the person wasn’t notable at the time but they’re highly notable now.

I do see your point. I'm reminded of the photograph who snapped basically a digital throw away picture of Monica Lewinsky weeks/months/years before anyone really knew who she was. later on, he was happy to have that picture, since it was one (or the only one) of her at some event hugging Clinton.

Text is easy enough to store, but making it useful to search and access seems like another problem to solve.

Or small groups of people interested in the community could archive it themselves and host it. I don't know if MTV news had a serious following or not, maybe that part of the reason the archive was taken down - nobody really cared to keep ~20 year old articles.

> A universal pay as you consume. That is, one "wallet" with "credits" but many / all sites would be something new.

So if i want to read one article from website XYZ, i may need to pay 00001 credits and if I want to read another article from website yyy, i may need to pay 00002 credits?

How would yyy or xyz content creators/journalists actually make a living from this, though?

Are you really interested in reading a 50 year old newspaper article about a collision that happened midday on Saturday afternoon in your community newspaper?

Yeah, the industry focused on 4k (and soon to be 8k) for some reason. I guess the same reason there's a decrease in good acting and an increase in special effects.

> When I think about it, there's no reason every single streaming movie even needs to be in 4K.

I agree. I'd rather have better audio and actors not whisper their lines, forcing you to either turn on CC or turn up the volume. I wouldn't want to purposefully stream in 4k anyway - I don't really have a reason.

The content I watch on YT is, IMO, much more interesting than the netflix shows anyway, and recorded with much less expensive gear.

> I’m down to prevent the poor and elderly from dying of heatstroke

And i also assume from freezing to death?

First hand experience tells me that living outside in a large metro city during the summer was easier than trying to stay warm in the same city during the really cold nights.

I'm not saying it was _enjoyable_ during the summer, but I didn't have the concern of hypothermia during those really cold early mornings.

Does this mean you don't plan on taking any ideas from screen/tmux and implementing them in your tool?

I think I would have just pulled out my audio recorder and played the file on the computer.

The files were very small and recorded with the internal mic on the computer, so it's not as though these are high quality recordings, they're more sentimental to whoever owned the laptop.

Could you please consider adding a volume control button on the website?

Is this basically a listing of archive.org's live music archive (LMA)?

well it doesn't necessarily have to be AI generated content. I rarely read those posts, but when I do, I find myself actually questioning if it's really true. I suspect some people have too much time on their hands and make stories up for reddit karma instead of writing journals and books that nobody will read. At least they're exploring creative writing, though.

This annoys me, along with people asking about a jira but just sending the number. That means I'll need to copy it and go to my browser to type in the URL and the jira number.

Chances are the colleague was just looking at the jira in their browser, so why wouldn't they copy/paste the link...
