The Greeks were also famous for making multiple, multiple handwritten copies of any literature they encountered

You kinda had to then, since archival paper wasn't invented and papyrus doesn't normally last very long.

Checking in! Thanks for your work, this seems to be about the most stable instance across the whole of Lemmy.

I like the idea of the Scaled view; some of those smaller communities don't ever show up unless I view by New.

I only know because you just told me. What's a bonzi anyway?

That's my plan when Win10 gets too old. I've run Linux before (although not as my daily driver) so the only thing worrying me is choosing which distro...

This took longer than just adding them up, but that's not the point:

Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('[aria-label="Downvote"] span.ms-2'))

I wish this was unbelievable. When/where was this? I'm guessing the US and hopefully a long time ago.

Poor Jamaica, they must be gutted.

(Although apparently Czechia has the highest %age of enjoyers in Europe.)
