I wonder who isn't getting the point

Yes, there are a few groups I follow on Discord. One of the groups has a link to another site I want to view and I click on it. I get:

Leaving Discord

This link is taking you to the following website

https://github.com/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Trust github.com links from now on

God, I just love XXXXXXX wall gardens! I just love how it's there to protect me. You mean … a link … goes to a non-Discord site? Oh my God! Thank you for warning me! My computer might have been pwned by Microsoft!

Sheesh.

Obligatory AI Disclaimer

No AI was used in the making of this site, unless otherwise noted.

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go ahead, I won't bite. I promise.

The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent links to that entry only. The format for the links are simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are interested in, say 2000/08/01, so that would make the final URL:

https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01

You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.

You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that important.
