TeaDB - The website that got me seriously into tea

I don't know how often I'll post here. Every few months I take a caffeine break and my budget isn't what it used to be, but I thought I'd share the website/blog that took me down the rabbit hole of this hobby during the 2010s. Denny and James started around the same time I did

Microsoft's new Copilot has a secret: It can turn into Clippy, if you know how

I literally joked about them doing something like this on desktop: https://digg.com/technology/xVrDju7/comment/oNz0XUX ...not knowing they beat me to the punch and integrated a secret Clippy on mobile way back in October. They're just trolling us at this point, right?

Digg Daily's player should have a link to the stories featured

Apologies if this is already somewhere on the UI and I missed it, but it would be great if Digg Daily had a link to the story so you can read it. It's not mission-critical or anything, you can just search for it, but it would definitely save a step.

Reddit Failed With Reddiquette. How Do We Keep Digg From Ending Up Like That?

Can The First New Communities Be For Hobbies?

It seems like this would be low-hanging fruit for high-engagement but low negativity. People love getting really into tea, coffee, wet shaving, knitting, watches, etc. We could even have larger communities for multiple hobbies if the fear is they would be too niche on their own.

"So, if you can’t do that, you may actually have a bunch of chips sitting in inventory that I can’t plug in. In fact, that is my problem today. It’s not a supply issue of chips; it’s actually the fact that I don’t have warm shells to plug into." -- Satya Nadella
