Well, it's been a few months, so here's a new list of articles I've found and saved since the previous post [1].
I've tried to keep the structure the same as before, minus the author names because of laziness.
Once more, my standout articles are above the `...`, while everything else is below it, unless the entire category is unsorted.
It's been a few months since I've read some of these articles, so the descriptions may be less than precise on occassion, sorry in advance!
If you click on a link and find that it's dead, send me an email at `milddermatographia@gmail.com`, and I can send you a raw HTML copy; it won't work well for articles that rely on images heavily, but better than nothing, I suppose.
If you try clicking on a link that has (Gemini [81] #77 #47 #38 #36 #19 #2) beside it, click that link to find out about Gemini :)
Educational content with code snippets, workflows, concrete recommendations, etc.
Fantasy, butterflies, pyramid schemes, deadly sausages, pepsi fighter jets, and more.
