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!

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 Even though some things are out of date or kinda broken (they’re rewriting NewPipe because of this), I find it works well enough for me to watch videos from my subscriptions.

I’ve been using OLauncher for years now, it is extremely simple and lightweight but it works for me.

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’ve been having this issue a lot, I hope they merge the PR to fix it soon.

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.

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.

I’ve also heard they are decent cars, at this point I’ll just keep driving what I’ve got and hope that in a couple years, more manufacturers will return to making most things controllable by physical buttons.

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.

If something like the AC, gear switching, volume controls, or another essential function is only usable via the touchscreen, I’d just stop considering that car because it’s unsafe and time consuming to use touchscreens in cars. They’re right, too much tech in cars is very annoying and I think most people (like me) would rather have dedicated physical buttons to control most actions in a car.

I would pay more to get a car with more buttons than you can comprehend and a small little infotainment system that allows you to play music than a super futuristic car with a iPad in the center and nothing else in the center console area.

NewPipe costs $13.99 less on my phone (where I watch YouTube most), and it has a better UX (for me) than the official app.

I don’t comment at all, so NewPipe gets most of the functionaloty I would ever want from YouTube. Plus, it also helps by not having personalized reccomendations to keep me stuck watching it.

There’s even Playlet for Rokus!

NewPipe for the win! Probably one of the best apps I have ever downloaded.
