Because these billboards are just monitors rotated 90 degrees, they’re invisible to polarized sunglasses. It’s like a real-life ad blocker!

Has anyone else had the experience that I seem to be having where the web version of #Discord is basically no longer functioning in #firefox ?

I have tried blowing away the site cache and that seemed to have temporarily fixed the issue but now I can't even get the site to load. Any other thoughts/advice?

This re-imagining of Pratt Street in the Inner Harbor by the developers of the new Harbor Place of #Baltimore is really something. Would be great if we lived in that reality. Truly, this type of space would be incredible. I'd be there every weekend.

I really feel like at this point I need to switch to a different learning method. This is starting to feel like a badge of shame. Does anyone have a language learning software that they can recommend? Especially if they have used it for learning German :)

Are there any Mastodon clients that already support quote posts? I currently use @megalodon and love it, but I would love even more if links to other posts just showed up as embedded posts.
