I like seeing more uncommon TLDs be used that aren’t just .com, .org, or .net. Variety’s kinda cool.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Don’t forget NewPipe for Android, Yattee for Apple devices, SmartTube for most Android TV boxes, Playlet for Roku, and Invidious for PC (if you don’t like Piped).

The only (usable) platform I can think of without a ad-free YouTube client is maybe webOS for LG TVs.

(some of these clients are also missing some features because they are new, but they should all be better for watching than the official app)

I love ViMusic, it’s helped me find a lot of music over thr time I’ve used it. Its reccomendations are quite good, and I can just donate to the artist if I like the music instead of trusting my streaming service to underpay them.

Are they going to add ads to the task manager or something next? At this poinr I feel more and more compelled to keep using Fedora.

Yeah, I removed Windows on my laptop a couple years back, and I still run into issues running some video games (darn you Nvidia!). However, usability has been increasing recently, and because I like the UI of my distro I really look forward to the day I can do everything I would want to on Linux.

A Linux distribution, much like Ubuntu and Arch

It is one of the more user friendly distros and (somewhat unlike other user friendly distros like Linux Mint) is pretty quick at updating packages (including the kernel).

as soon as anyone asks me anything about myself I immediately forget literally everything and become dumber than a goldfish

When people ask me things like “What’s your favorite song” I’m like “uhhhhhh idk I don’t remember any songs” every time
