    The fediverse, while still social media, has a level of authenticity unrivaled by most major social medias in my opinion. Hopefully it stays that way!

    NewPipe is a great app, it really makes watching YouTube so much easier. Even though some things are out of date or kinda broken (they're rewriting NewPipe because of this), I find it works well enough for me to watch videos from my subscriptions.

  • Learning to drive?

    I ended up playing a video game (BeamNG.drive) for a while, which has a realistic car driving experience as one of its selling points. I decided to try and drive there, because crashing wouldn't matter; after a while I couls drive for hours with as many other AI cars on the road as my bad computer could muster without crashing. The experiences then helped me learn how to drive a real car, because by then I had a feel for how cars drove. Would reccomend if you have an okay computer for gaming, a couple dollars to spare, and a lot of time.

  • ChromeOS is splitting the browser from the OS, getting more Linux-y

    This is probably one of the better pieces of news I have heard about ChromeOS, it seems like this could make ChromiumOS easier to support and make Chromebooks less useless.

  • While Android as a whole continues to shrink in the US, Google Pixel keeps growing

    I have a Pixel myself and I have to say, it's a good phone. It has a coherent experience and I've been able to customize it to my needs.

    I also had a couple of phones from other OEMs (not Apple, lol) and they had more useless bloatware that was a pain, and an overall less coherent UX. I think the UX is what gets users to stay (obviously), so I do hope that more Android OEMs will focus in more on that so they can break Apple's market domination in the US.

    Maybe he shoulda just stuck with the bird, or thought of a name that is even a tad more creative. I'm pretty sure a hamster or a piece of paper could do a better job at managing Twitter than Muskrat is right now.

    It seems to me that recently, Big Tech CEOs have been searching for interesting and creative ways to utterly destroy their company with no chance to rebuild it. Maybe he is trying to do that? At this point, it seems to me like Elon is doing his best diligence to set money on fire and run Twitter into the ground.

    Exactly, most headphones that I like are wired with an ordinary audio jack. I don't really feel inclined to get new headphones for a new phone, and a phone without an audio jack just makes things more difficult for me.

    I've been using Mullvad DNS (the adblocking variant) on my phone to block ads and I have to say, it works pretty well. I didn't even know some of my Play apps have ads, it's that effective.

    They got it right: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. No point in spending useless money to upgrade something that already works and where upgrading would be pointless.

    Same, whenever I tried and use Chrome with another application running, it always slowed down my computer an insane amount. Firefox doesn't do that, I can actually use multiple programs on my machine with Firefox open.

    More reasons to keep using Firefox just keep on coming up like excellent extensions, in-browser PDF editor, and now more speed. I switched to Firefox 2 years ago with uBO and I don't think I'd ever switch back to Chrome.

    That too! I just don't use it myself because I find NewPipe works well enough for me. However, I should still try it out eventually to see if I'm missing anything big.

  • I'll start with an idea of mine: users could be banned if they used an English preposition in a comment. What other ideas do you guys have?
