Good question. I was thinking that the final result would magically be equivalent to whatever you'd actually be able to make yourself, as though you went back in time and handed your past self the finished product.

 

If it's a book, you have the manuscript but no research, notes, or prior revisions. If it's a program, you have the compiled binary but no source code or anything you would've learned writing it. Etc.

As a longtime Mac user, I remember when my OS became basically bigger iOS.

One drove by my house a few weeks ago. Before that? I haven't seen one in the wild in years.

As a US citizen, probably Canada. I'm less than pleased with how our government has been treating our friends in the North under the current administration. Sounds like it would be a great place to live with some good perks compared to here.

The thought of raising my kids somewhere other than US soil is weirdly sad, though. My nation has done a lot to be ashamed of lately, but I still believe in what we're supposed to stand for.

I'd spend time in All and filter out a bunch of US-centric news communities if I was you. I did that with loads of communions I didn't want to see stuff from.

My handwriting comes with free encryption at rest. Even I might not be able to read it.

Plus PieFed also has a tool to migrate a community from a dying instance to itself. It's not perfect, but it preserves old posts and comments and it's fueled at least some growth.

I literally just found out about it today when lemm.ee was slow on Voyager for some reason. Surprise!
