I love Localsend because it’s gloriously simple: Does exactly what you want, and nothing more. I haven’t used KDE Contact; what else does it add in?

Definitely; OP’s linked article doesn’t have any quotes that refer to copyright, while this one of yours adds a lot of context that was otherwise missing. There’s a world of difference between allowing retention of IP addresses and creating a cleaning house for IPs suspected of distributing works.
If XSS is your concern, check out Firefox’s Container Tabs. They allow you to set up tab groups that restrict access to cookies to only tabs in that group, so you can just, eg, set up a group for your bank and restrict it to just your bank’s site. Your session cookie etc are then not available to any other tab groups.
I pair that with the Temporary Containers extension, so any random tab I open is in its own container. Everything is always separate.
It’s especially insulting when you think about how many people you meet once and do remember their name.
What if that number is zero?
I came to this thread expecting to see this, and even with that expectation it makes me sad to see; to me the books are unarguably superior, to a large degree because Tolkien is such an excellent writer. I’d encourage anyone who’s bounced off the books a time or two to go back to them and try reading them aloud, even quietly to yourself: even though it’s prose, the text has meter and flow almost as strong as poetry. It’s undeniably a slow read, but it’s just such a beautiful one that the films, fun as they are, don’t hold up.
Plus, Jackson’s Two Towers is garbage.
The related thing that I’ve seen a few times and never understood is “,”. What does an ellipsis of commas even mean?
Figured it was inadvertent, yeah
FYI might want to rethink your choice of punctuation for your edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_parentheses
The issue is that they’re using it but no longer being explicit about that use.
Half of a bottlescrew or turnbuckle.
Speaking of D&D Patreons, Conflux Creatures creates more interesting versions of thousands of monsters; using those had really spiced up my game, since the players have no Idea how combats are going to go any more.
That’s a solid friend
Terminator 2. The ad campaign and trailers revealed what had the potential to be an amazing reversal of expectations well ahead of time. I actually got to see it with a friend who was out of touch enough to not have seen any spoilers; I wish I’d had his experience.
I’d suggest it can be used even more lightly than that, to express that someone is pitiable in some way. My boss, who is from the Carolinas, was talking about her mother who had just had a stroke, and said “my momma, bless her heart”.
As you say, there are shades of meaning, and context is sorry important.
For real, they’re The Only Band that Matters.
“To know which questions are unanswerable, and to not answer them: this is the skill that is most needful in times of stress and darkness.”

Haven’t read Egan or Rucker, so I can’t speak to them. Vinge had amazing ideas that still pop into my head from time to time, but I couldn’t get into his writing style; he never really pulled me in, despite how much I wanted to bet pulled in.
The tl;dr from the article (which is actually worth a read):
