How long does that take? I just searched for @AmItheAsshole and am waiting for it to show up.

I remember when Deja was the way to read Usenet on the web (eventually was bought out by and became Google Groups). I still miss Deja.

That is just ...

Hmm. Could the rivers be made navigable without hurting the surrounding ecosystem too much? Or maybe an artificial canal .. but I suppose a new canal has many of the same problems that a new road (or roads) would entail..

The cost to bore tunnels would be extreme, and likely would deter investors.

I don't have an obvious solution for that, but no one said park preservation and tackling global warming would come cheap.

On top of that, where do you put the waste rock, which can be metal leaching or acid generating.

I don't know much about this, but as the tunnel is built, use it to truck out the waste rock, which can then be shipped outside of Alaska to be processed and handled in the usual processing plants in the US (or even pay to handle it overseas). Again, costs, but same answer as above.

The park can not be protected from global warming. It's better to get clean energy. Though I wonder if this is a true binary choice - the decision to expand US mineral protection seems to speak of and to more isolationist views. Maybe the US could go clean using minerals from friendly foreign countries only.

That said, I wonder if we're not being creative enough here. The english channel is 560 km long, so could it be possible to bore a series of tunnels for truckers to use to get access to the minerals without ruining the park?

It's a shame that the mine isn't closer to the ocean, otherwise maybe shipping the minerals on cargo ships could have been a more park friendly alternative.

Which browsers have you tested this with? Interested to see which browsers do not support the above trick.

If you happen to be using one of those btw, you can still do this, just go to duckduckgo and put in the !cache followed by the url and duckduckgo will take you there.

Also, if archive.is doesn't have a saved copy of a page, it includes a link to google's cache.

Thank you! This list is very nice. Wonder if we could maintain an editable wiki page on lemmy or kbin somehow though...

Is there a way to take a url like old.reddit.com/r/sub/comments/abcdef/the_post_title/ and get the post text body and the comments (at lest the first couple of levels) via rss?

[–] abff08f4813c@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Ideally there would have been a way to merge threads and preserve the comments from both. Too late now I guess, but something to keep in mind next time something like this happens I suppose..

A shamed. There's actually a lot of good stories if you are able to view the older threads on this magazine. See for example https://kbin.social/m/maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world?p=3

I usually browse just the local communities

Ditto, except it's kbin.social in my case rather than lemmy.world

I probably would have never read this story if it only existed on kbin
I would presume the instance is important here?

That can be the case, sometimes issues with federation can cause threads to get lost across instances, and a new instance may not get all the existing threads on a pre-existing magazine.

However, it looks like both your account and this magazine are hosted on lemmy.world - since you're both on the same instance, you should have been able to see the older posts on this magazine. (Note: magazine is the kbin term for lemmy communities - i prefer it as the term community can be ambiguous). I've never used lemmy proper so am not sure how that works, but on kbin you can view the older threads on a magazine quite easily.
