Time for DNS to propagate normally: a couple minutes, go make a cup of coffee or something

Time for DNS to propagate after fixing a typo in a record: The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again

How retro kick ass is that? Flash is resurrected sans the neglected, proprietary, security ridden, plugin bs of Adobe; thanks to Rust, and modern day sandboxed WebAssembly. No plugin required; small, compact, compatible engine, that unlocks decades of lost SWF content in all its vector visuals, MP3 stereo, and ActionScript-y glory. github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle #flash #adobe #webdev #javascript #rust #retrogaming

1. Not difficult to sign up for
2. Not difficult to use
3. Has an app like every other social media network

8. Free and open source
9. Administered by a crowdfunded nonprofit
10. Decentralized, portable, and interoperable

@neil @bencc @msbellows its true I have a backlog of books that I want to read but not on Kobo, whereas I guess everything launches on Amazon
