Powell's Books donates portions of banned book sales to lawsuits fighting book ban laws
  • You owe it to yourself. I have been lucky enough to visit Portland twice from the UK and Powells is easily one of the top 3 memories from each trip. You will not regret it. Unless you find something it the rare book room you just have to have. Then your wallet may regret it.

    Microsoft stole my Chrome tabs, and it wants yours, too
  • 100% this. People loose the wood for the trees with these kinds of things. If something doesn't work in one browser but does in another then 99% of people are not technical enough to understand or care why not. They just know it doesn't work. That makes it a problem for Firefox. Whether it's by their own making or not.

    What are your most prominent food memories from childhood?
  • Positive : my mums home made bread and butter pudding fresh out the oven on a cold night still brings a smile and is something I am lucky enough to still get to enjoy.

    Negative: that time when I was about 5 when we were having pasta for dinner and somehow a whole clove of garlic ended up on my plate and I bit right through it. That's the first time I ever remember tasting garlic and I was totally unprepared, I was sick everywhere a few moments later

    How many people actually dropped Reddit for Lemmy?
  • I have only been back a handful of times in the browser. Usually when information I need is only on reddit. From someone who used reddit for hours and hours a day I'm shocked how little I miss it. I'm glad it went down the toilet.

    Data privacy: how to counter the "I have nothing to hide" argument?
  • This is usually the approach I take. You "have nothing to hide" now doesnt mean you won't want to hide something considered normal or not a problem right now in the future. I'm sure many people if they could go back in time would remove pictures or comments from social media that were appropriate (or at least not a big problem at the time) that haunt them now.

    A friend of mine wrote a book that released today about plants and fungi
  • This looks interesting (and beautifully illustrated!) I might have to pick it up and give it a go. I read Entangled Life last year and it was really interesting and in a similar vein.
