I use an antenna + HDHomeRun device on my network, then the Channels app on an Apple TV. This works much better and faster than relying on the TV's native tuner, remote, and channel-switching capabilities. https://www.silico

A search engine that only indexed Reddit, Stack Exchange, Wikipedia, and a small number of other "good" sites would get 80% of the way there. No, DDG bang operators don't let you do this. I want an SERP, not a shortcut to a s

There's clearly a new form of highly ranking SEO "blogspam" that I'm now seeing in the top results for many searches. It's a long article, with multiple headings and short paragraphs for each. Your search terms will

I've always wanted a search engine that searched mainly (only?) Stack Overflow, Reddit, and a handful of other authentic sites. One note: You.com seems to include Stack Overflow scrapers in the results. Would be better with those remov

If she typed that into a post of her own, sure. But this is more like surfacing every comment of hers on every random blog she reads. Those comments should be shared between her and the blog and its readers, not me. Also, I've strongl

Don't worry - their comment response to the meme page is annoyingly broadcast into the timeline of every one of their friends.

These split and ortholinear keyboards all seem to be compensating for the fact that we are taught to type keys on the left hand bottom row with the wrong finger. The "Q-A-Z" slope goes completely against the natural angle of your

The AMP page is mostly the same as the normal "new." Reddit mobile page... except worse in the AMP-specific ways. So why does Reddit use AMP at all? I can only understand AMP being good for some news site where it gives you them a

I'd rather give my business to a search engine with good defaults. And I don't want only those big sites. I'd also like to see authored blogs, traditional forums, national newspapers, various wikis, etc.

I would love a search engine that searched mainly only Stack Overflow, Stack Exchange, Twitter, Flickr, and Reddit. Google results are currently awful, full of blogspam and Pinterest-mirrored images. I don't remember when this changed.
