I've mostly switched to DDG and it works great for most queries but I do still end up resorting to Google if I'm not able to find what I'm looking for. I've gotten my Google search use down to maybe five times a week. I&

The civilian flight sim market is a bit thin these days unfortunately. X-Plane is quite good and gets a lot of developer support. It also runs on Linux! Flight Simulator X is more than a decade old but it's still decent and has an unbe

I cancelled my Netflix account around a year ago because of issues that kept accumulating. Removal of shows, deteriorating UX, price hikes, etc. I haven't missed it. I stopped renewing Prime when they announced the most recent price hi

This is extra annoying on mobile. Often a quarter of the screen is taken up by a persistent menu bar that I'll never use, half by an autoplaying video that I'll never watch, leaving just a quarter of the screen space for the actua

I don't understand how anyone can defend Price here. Her reaction to a polite, innocuous question is so over the top ridiculous it almost reads like satire. Since we've got a lot of hurt manfeels today Who even talks like this i

The F-35 was the result of such a program. Lockheed and Boeing were each give a billion dollars and a set of requirements and told to make the best plane possible. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Strike_Fighter_pr

Gundeals wasn't for buying and selling firearms between private parties. It was for posting links to deals from retailers and FFLs.

Not just mobile games, but AAA games from major publishers as well. Mechanics that Zynga was pushing out a decade ago in "free" games that were seen as exploitative and predatory are now found in AAA $60 PC and console games.

The underwater group especially interests me. How do a group of people stuck in a submarine in deep ocean survive for centuries?

They have the infrastructure and technical know how, but PornHub is able to make money because advertising for porn is a completely different beast from advertising on a general purpose video hosting site. You can use all sorts of invasive

More granular permissions would be great. I would love to have a whitelist for audio, video, any sort of animation, etc.

I found it kind of funny to see the link lead to Buzzfeed. When it comes to trustworthiness in news I'd rank them slightly above Info Wars.

A lot of these calls come from people or companies trying to scam people (illegal), ignore the existing Do Not Call list (also illegal), and spoof themselves as legitimate, often local numbers (you guessed it, illegal). I doubt banning non-

Christ, I hope not. I get enough spam calls that I ignore, I don't need them leaving voicemails too.

I do the same with audiobooks from Audible, though the cracking process is a bit more complicated. I have no moral qualms about ensuring I will always have a copy of something I bought even if I leave the platform I bought it on or that pla

I feel like music is one of the few pieces of media that's very easy to buy DRM free. Movies, TV shows, books, and most other things are heavily encumbered after you "buy" them.

I like Stephenson's writing a lot but i don't know if I could re-read his books. The frequent, lengthy digressions put me off of reading them again.

I've mostly switched to DDG. Google gives much better results in some cases but for the vast majority of my searches DDG works fine.

I had a pretty well-curated list of subscribed subreddits but reddit decided some of my interests are problematic and I deleted my account. Posting links to licensed firearm dealers legally selling firearms is too taboo for a site that has

Yep, I know if a number has the same first six digits as mine there's a solid 95% probability it's spam. On rare occasions I'll get a text from a number in my area code with some variation of, "Do I know you?" so cl

Think I'll finally upgrade from my i5 3570k, it's starting to show its age. I'm not too excited about RAM prices, 16GB today costs more than the 16GB I bought 5-6 years ago.
