solvitor··on Recording the Grateful Dead: The Culture of Tapers
> paywall

I did not see that.

I saw one ad ("Sign in or register for email updates and this box won’t appear again. We’re grateful for your support.") but could read the entire article after dismissing it.

On subsequent pages I got a couple of similar dialogs but was able to read several articles.

solvitor··on FCC to remove companies from robocall database for non-compliance [pdf]
Minor, but I'd rather click to a web page than have a PDF auto download. Consider this link https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-remove-companies-robocall-d... instead of the PDF.
solvitor··on Subsection – A tool for creating support docs for SaaS
> Specifically, you’re a tool to create User Guides and yet you haven’t created a user guide for your own site.

This was my exact thought. It's nice to have an easy-to-start demo, but I was expecting at least a link to a working (user-side) example.

solvitor··on Teams is killing my Mac every day
I do this on a Pixelbook (Linux version of Edge). Works quite well for all of Office 365, for me.
solvitor··on Iron Curtains Considered Harmful
Fascinating read. I lived in Bratislava in 1993-94 but I didn't have the sense of it being all that crime ridden - perhaps there was more organized crime and less street crime? I can say that after first visiting in 1990, the relatively recent change to a completely open border was striking. We drove from VIE, got to the border, and nothing but a sign - welcome to Slovakia.
solvitor··on Yahoo wants to let you forget your Yahoo password
Doesn't work with VoIP numbers e.g. Google Voice, so that's a non-starter for me.
solvitor··on The new Google Contacts
Gmail accounts only; no Google Apps (yet?). Yet another roll-out (ahem, Inbox) where the paying customers get left behind. I realize businesses may want stability with new versions for training, etc. but it would be great at least to have the option by domain/account to be on the new products earlier.
