I see it as more a place for makers/hackers to post complete projects others can replicate. Be it a 3D printing project, or an electronics one with various components. Something like Thingiverse meets Instructables meets Github. We’ve

This has been seriously grinding at me lately. Google is pretty much useless for me personally as a search engine lately. I find it so frustrating that I just end up not wanting to search for things. - It ignores that I tick "Australia

If I could tune into these 3 combined on a 24hr loop as an internet radio station, I'd listen ever single day while coding. This is an amazing combo. I set the rain one to 50% volume and it balances perfectly with the other 2. Edit: It

Minecraft is still huge, and moddable. Sure lots of people moved to Bedrock edition on Consoles/Win10 but plenty of people still play the Java version and develop mods, resource packs, shader packs, etc. Racing Sims like Assetto Corsa

I love the idea of a modern OS with the 90s function-over-form aesthetic. There’s immense beauty for me in function, and the 90s was without a doubt the peak of OS design.
