I refer to myself as 'Daddy' when talking to my cats. I don't there's any hope for me.

Based on how we see so many 'OS in the Browser' links here on HN, am I right to be underwhelmed by this one?

I use:

Perfect for my scrappy always-upper-case chicken scratch. I've tried so many other types of rollerball pens (as a leftie with dyslexia, fountain pens are completely off the menu), and how found these to be the only type of pen I can actually write with.

Agreed. I feel sorry for Sten, not the company or the other employees.
That said, even as shortly back in the 90s, mental illness was still ridiculed and something to be ashamed of, at least we've made progress in that area these days.

The dungeon generation shown is the same as Brian Sawyer's 'Dungeon' game from 1979:

Not sure if Brian Sawyer is the original designer of this approach though?

This one...

...is the all time classic. Every time I logged onto a new mainframe/DEC-VAX system, it'd be sitting in a folder somewhere.
I even had a personal copy printed out on several sheets of paper[1] that has now alas, been lost to time.

Unless you have a Android Blackberry device (KeyOne or Key2 etc) the free version of the hub is feature restricted, so you have to pay (an ongoing sub) to get the full Hub experience.

The main problem is that a lot of sites no longer show a link to their RSS feeds, or include a meta tag for it.
So I've resorted to trying the following until the RSS reed comes up:
example.com/feed
example.com/feed.xml
example.com/rss
example.com/rss.xml
example.com/xml
...etc

I tried this, but my work uses MS Teams, which doesn't honour do-not-disturb. When you set DnD on, the app STILL flashes it's taskbar icon, creating a distraction. The only way around it is to mute all the noisy teams channels, and to remember to unmute them later. Also, being @-ed in a chat totally overrides DnD as well, and the sales guys have worked this out, and @ people constantly all day long.
I even tried not having Teams running when I was 'in the zone' only to end up being called on the phone to check 'whether I was working today'... :(

Then maybe search engines should show a little 'paywalled' tag next to the result so the user is aware before they click?
