@Gargron My initial confusion was less about the UI's design and more about what the "local timeline" and "federated timeline" I was looking at actually were. I wonder if some people are interpreting the third answer to mean that? (There's nothing particularly confusing about the UI itself, IMO. There's just multiple timelines and therefore multiple columns.)

This is the Hubble extreme deep field. With the exception of (from what I can find) 3 foreground stars, every object you see in this picture is a galaxy. Can you find the foreground stars? Know the trick?

Sometimes, the ephemeral nature of the electronic world we live in hits home in disturbing ways. The store branch I bought my old glasses from had shut down once it was time to buy new ones. I could no longer find it online. All trace of it had disappeared. Had I wanted to prove that it once existed, I would've been unable to. There's no old copy of the Yellow Pages to check in 2018, and businesses don't give out cards to customers anymore. Documentation is even more important now than before.
