• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best ad blocker for ios browser Safari? What would you suggest?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, I use them and didn’t know this was a feature. My favorite iOS cribbage app doesn’t offer a paid tier to remove the ads, and this took care of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon will remove the option to download/transfer Kindle e-books via USB by February 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct. If you do it now, there’s a notice about this feature going away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why there is no photos of earth from space?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bro looking at your last two posts… if you’re not trolling, you might want to get some help before you really go off the deep end. Reminds me of unsuccessfully trying to convince my friends they’re about to “invest” in a pyramid scheme.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I noticed this feature wasn’t available for my Colorsoft and asked support about it. They assured me it would be added later. This is exactly what I expected to happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am a meat crayon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bidet master race.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did UCLA Just Cure Baldness?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. I feel like I’d look so weird with hair now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨okra stealing whore⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I had a nickel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨a peaceful place⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There really aren’t enough novels about aimless, gay werewolves called Brian… ― Sunday Times, Books to Watch in 2023

  My expectations have been exceeded.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨a peaceful place⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What book is this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How true is it?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even got the zoom-out effect. If you’re nearsighted, totally accurate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m in favor of calling it X because it’ll die quicker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Opera explains how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support as Google Chrome disables it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know I’m a drop in the bucket but I have always been a diehard Google fanboy and, in the recent years, have switched to iOS, Firefox, and DuckDuckGo. No regrets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse | Users own their content, and Loops doesn’t sell or provide videos to third-party advertisers or train AI on them. It will be open source⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Instagram has been getting me with this. I like to post sometimes, but my friends and I recently compared our screen time stats and I couldn’t believe I was regularly wasting hours a day mindlessly scrolling IG. I uninstalled the app and will just occasionally post from my computer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought the same. Interesting strategy cutting the people who are good enough to get another job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of messaging apps do you use?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve tried to get my friends consolidated in one app in the past, but have given up. I prefer Discord, but use a combo of that and Slack, Signal, GroupMe, IG, FB Messenger, SMS, email, and probably some others I’m forgetting about. Discord is the only one I directly open, the others I’ll just rely on notifications.

  God, the giant mosquitoes were the worst.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Used Chrome forever, switched to Firefox back when this stuff first started going down. No ragerts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just saying⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bone apple tea

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just got texted a job offer. You guys think it's legit?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You know it’s legit when they ask you to move the conversation over to WhatsApp.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ain't no one around to hate in the basement. Just me and my jug.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh crazy. This was like box wine where it was poured directly from the box?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ain't no one around to hate in the basement. Just me and my jug.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never heard of box beer and am super curious, can you link what you’re referencing? I’m not finding anything googling “rodenbach box beer”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Vision Pro launch pre-view testers complain about weight, comfort, even headaches⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly they look like that straight on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit Falls Short of Ad Growth Targets Ahead of Likely 2024 IPO⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly can’t believe they haven’t killed old.reddit yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Omegle has officially shut down⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was thinking about Harry Mack, too. He just posted his 100th Omegle Bars video 5 days ago and said he was going to take a break from the series for a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iOS 17 Could Break Crucial Diabetic Glucose Monitor Alerts, Manufacturer Warns⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My pharmacy can’t even get Libre 3 sensors, so I’m stuck with Libre 2 and the software has been incredibly broken, even on iOS 16. Thankfully my diabetes is managed well enough the alarms aren’t critical to me, but it’s really surprising how bad the software is for one of the most popular glucose monitors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube’s anti-ad blocking test gets even pushier with a new timer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What changed after the switch? I kept subscribing since the music + YouTube video was well worth the value for me, and haven’t noticed a change.
