Imgur if you want memes, cats, and politics, but keep in mind that they’re not much better than reddit. No 3rd party apps, and the official app has ads & sells your data to Facebook. You can block it by using the DDG app and enabling App Tracking Protection, however. Also setting your phone’s DNS server to dns.adguard-dns.com. You should be doing those two things anyway, regardless of what apps you do or don’t use.
Besides this place, I also use Imgur and YouTube to help fill in the void after leaving reddit. I’m considering joining Bluesky and Mastodon as well but I’ve never used a Twitter-like interface before so it’s intimidating.
Unfortunately I still haven’t found a suitable replacement for niche communities. There’s always forums, but I got too used to points-based communities, and because comments are sorted chronologically, it’s hard to know what’s crap and what’s actual useful information. Which can suck if you need a good opinion on something. 20-30 years ago that wouldn’t have even bothered me, cause forums were the only social media I knew then. But times have changed.
Shit like this is why I won’t buy another handheld console again until they can smoothly run the latest games at at least 1440p 240hz (I was initially going to say 4K but 1440 is enough for a small screen IMO).
I don’t care if it takes a decade or more, I’m happy with my desktop; I’ll wait.
Seriously. Ditch your streaming providers; ditch cable. Just get Stremio + Torrentio + Real-Debrid. And SmartTubeNext. All the video content you could ever need on your TV can be streamed instantly through these two apps. Every movie; every TV show; all of YouTube. All ad-free. Buy an antenna for local channels/sports and you’re set for life.
Both every time but I also haven’t used a VGA cable in at least 15 years.
I can relate to this person. I entered the job market in 2008, the same year the economy crashed. I was immediately screwed the moment I was old enough to work, which set me up for failure from the beginning. I’m now in my mid 30s and I feel like I just haven’t been able to get my shit together no matter how hard I try. To this day I’m still working the same shitty retail and warehouse jobs for crumbs.
Edit: Meanwhile my GF is in her late 20s, has a work-from-home job that pays $24/hr, and is a homeowner. She’s way more successful than I’ll ever be, cause shit wasn’t completely fucked by the time she started working. It’s not fair.
As a native, I’ve only ever known winter time. (Cause we don’t have DST for those who didn’t know.)
Ooh that’s good but you should really try making them in the air fryer instead. They hit the perfect level of chip-like crispiness after a couple of minutes, and you don’t have to be embarrassed about making them since you’re not using the microwave.
Guacamole with cottage cheese. The Polish side of my family loves it, but I wouldn’t dare add it to my guac when making it for the Mexican half of my family.
Office chairs cause back pain, just like gaming chairs.
What you really want is a nice recliner and a big TV. Keyboard in lap, mouse on arm rest (or end table). I’ve been computing this way since 2008 and I’ll never go back to a desk ever again.
I’m fine with that so long as I eventually get to play PC games on my phone.
What’s system md? Sounds like the name of 90s anti-virus software.
4K 120Hz is my minimum acceptable standard these days, as I’ve stated earlier. 1080p120 minimum for handhelds.
That’s the point I’m making. They’re too cheap for proper gaming.
Edit: Or more like prices are so out of control that $700 is no longer a lot of money for a decent gaming system.
Neither of them are capable of true 4K 120Hz+ gaming, so until then I’ll stick with my PC.
So many people spell it incorrectly that I’m starting to worry that “sike” will become the official spelling. Language evolves, but I don’t want it to.
Firefox has PiP? Last time I saw that feature, it was the 90s and it was on a TV.
Gollum, Frodo, and Gandalf are in the Harry Potter films?
Never seen the third LotR film; I was literally about to finally watch it today so thanks for spoiling the movie for me.
Like the others have said, use Voyager to filter out the instances and communities you don’t want to see.
