Brave is icky. It's smeared in crypto and they were caught injecting affiliate links in 2020.

I don't go shopping without a pair of effective active noise-cancelling headphones. Whether it's the terrible store music or random screaming kids, I don't need the distraction when trying to Get Shopping Done.

I am all-in on Bitwarden - and I use Apple's 2FA with a widget shortcut to Passwords in settings to unlock Bitwarden. For maximum security it makes sense to keep your OTP in a separate app, but if you choose to keep them in Bitwarden, it will add your 2FA codes to your clipboard after inserting your login and password on the site. Extremely convenient.

Bitwarden is light, multi-platform, will support Passkeys, open source, offers username and password generation, free (and VERY cheap if you want to unlock sharing). In my opinion nothing comes close.

I have been completely unable to find a reasonably featured Windows reader since Nexgenreader stopped development. I deleted my Windows install on my 2-in-1 to get Newsflash in Linux instead. I also saw Feedreader in the repository which looks promising, but I haven't tested it yet. On Android I like FeedMe, but there are other good options. On iOS I am all-in on Reeder. I use Miniflux as backend (I pay for it so I don't have to bother with hosting myself) so I can mix and match any client that can connect to that.

Yup. Rocking the latest ArkOS from June.

Buying Activision Blizzard means they are still third in the console space. Just not so far behind the others.

You are also misqjoting out of context. One executive suggested it was a path to spend now in order to gain footbold later. They would still need to spend a lot more to get there.

Try listening the next place you go.

Apple Music. The initial reason was that my own music was uploaded to be part of it. Along the way I've been using Spotify and many others. Today, I refuse to use Spotify. Why?

  • They pay musicians an even more ridiculously low amount per stream than most other services.
  • They have attempted to leech off the open podcast ecosystem to lure people into theirs and lock them there.
  • They actively pay and host Joe Rogan's lies and bullshit

I know it's become less fashionable in recent times, but I still default to DuckDuckGo. Especially because I can very quickly perform my search again on a different site using bangs, if I don't find what I was looking for in the first try. (https://duckduckgo.com/bangs).

VLC is amazing, but it is also a cluttered mess. This feels more like some of the sleeker MPlayer GUIs and is worth giving a shot - if only to see just how different (and still good) it is.

I always keep VLC around like a big Swiss knife, but it's nice to have something else that is elegant and ready to use to supplement it.

No regrets. No interest in going back. The future is federated.
