CoSo I need configuration help.

I had a 3 column CoSo interface: left colum to post, firehose/timeline in the center, notifications on the right. Then I clicked some button unvoluntarily, and now the two side columns are gone. How do I go back to the previous layout???

TIA!

@ToruOkada my point exactly!!!

Albeit it's the same almost everywhere else, I'd say.

I am still waiting for explanations, possibly ones that make sense

About "What RSS Needs" in

The 1st "Best Practice for Feeds" that more and more publishers should be FORCED to adopt is to MAKE VISIBLE the bloody RSS icon or link in all their web pages AND social media accounts

It is really a suicidal shame that they actively HIDE RSS instead. See

This is GREAT.

People who buy this kind of stuff DESERVE to be bricked. They asked for it.

If from #Amazon, they asked twice:

manufacturers of solar inverter panels can switch the power on or off for millions of installations at people’s homes, or on the roofs of businesses.

And if you turn all those panels off at the right moment, half of the European power grid collapses.

"Citizen development has sparked a new era in which employees not only improve or streamline their own processes and tasks but automate them entirely."

I just fond this website that, if completed:

Nice summary by @tedgioia of the "10 Reasons Why Technological Progress Is Now Reversing"

Could have been much shorter though. Replace (at least) the first 5 with "#capitalism" and it's the same.

The last 2 bullets of this list make a LOT of sense. The first is a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE mistake, with #music or any other kind of digital document. See why here

Turns out at least ONE report said the right thing out loud:

Americans could decrease their needs of strategic raw materials up to 90% by simply stopping to be the Americans they are today.

PS: same for every other 1st world country, of course

@ps9714 Neither was I, but is still depressing.

Like the many cases in which newspapers write e.g. "Someguy, born in 1980 (44 years old)"
