And here, we went from being able to get ABC from literally anywhere in the house without the antenna extended to having to get the position right when in a good location; we also lost plenty of other channels.

People will still remember when they were able to get more OTA channels, because analog signals degrade when weak instead of being non-decodeable.

Correction, Mastodon has used ActivityPub instead of OStatus since version 1.6, only using OStatus to communicate with software such as GNU Social that doesn't support ActivityPub.

I'm having none of these problems, it's more legible than all of the "modernized" websites I've seen. Reasonable serif font, pure black text, pure white background. More legible than any posts on here, with the choice of gray text for certain things.

    curl -s "https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/?convert=$1" |
	jq ".[0] .price_$1" | sed 's/\"//g'

Multiple people in one place can still be completely wrong. Concussive events are what matter when it comes to CTE; many of them occur without physical contact to the head just as impacts to the skull may not have concussive effects on the brain. What matters is sudden acceleration, not contact to the head.
