Ran across the same problem recently. Ended up using Bing, of all things lol
- Comment on Substack says it will remove Nazi publications from the platform 10 months ago:
I agree, it’s a tiny step in the right direction, but definitely too little too late.

- Comment on Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout, some stores removing them 11 months ago:
It’s different here (at Walmart at least), they leave all their reusable bags at the self checkout where you can just buy them. But there is a lot of staff and the area is like a bullpen, so there is only one exit and there are employees looking at the carts’ contents.
As for the bags, for sure it’s a contentious topic. And I agree with you. As I mentioned in another reply, I see a lot of the sturdier reusable bags for sale at thrift store, they have to roll them up and put them in a bin they have so many…
- Comment on Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout, some stores removing them 11 months ago:
Yes, and also for the compost. I used to store a few as well but they are so thin now, it’s not worth it.
- Comment on Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout, some stores removing them 11 months ago:
I agree. I have a drawer full and a bunch in my car. I see a lot of them for sale for a buck at thrift stores, it’s kind of funny and sad.

Where I live (Montréal, Canada) plastic bags are banned everywhere. You either bring your own or buy a reusable at the cash. Some places (like grocery stores) also sell paper bags. You get used to it. If you have a car you leave a bunch of reusables in the trunk, if you don’t you just have to remember to bring one with you. The also sell some super thin ones you can carry in your pockets that are sturdy and large enough for a small run at the grocery store.
- Comment on Tesla will sue you for $50,000 if you try to resell your Cybertruck in the first year 1 year ago:
Considering the state the world is in, I’m at a point where news like this leave me totally indifferent. I used to feel concerned about privacy and freedom of choice when it comes to consumer goods but right now, with this company? I couldn’t give less of a shit.
If you are rich enough to buy one of these abominations, you are rich enough to put pressure on the manufacturer to tell them you are not ok with this (if in fact that is the case).

SmartTube is amazing. The dev is super reactive, there are updates almost daily. I watch YT mostly on my TV, I’m really thankful it exists!

I didn’t miss the point, the point is not about seeing ads or not. Expand your thought process a bit.

You sound like you didn’t read the article. This not about seeing ads or not, it’s about large corporations allowing and making profits off advertising criminal activities.

And John Mahoney’s no longer with us. Over all there is nothing of note, nothing exciting in this reboot. Hard pass for me as well.
- Comment on Lemmy is popular nowadays, yet is losing its active users 1 year ago:
One thing that bugs me is people asking for/using tools that replicate the look and feel of Reddit instead of learning the ropes. I left Reddit, I don’t want another one. I get it, familiarity is comforting, but when the user base is a fraction of the other platform, no UX or app will ever give you the same experience. I say move on, get out of your comfort zone and participate.
