- Comment on Does everyone hate Google now? | Google's story over the last two decades has been a tale as old as time: enshittification for growth 3 months ago:
Try Magic Earth. It’s a good alternative.
- Comment on Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour 4 months ago:
No, if you want that, just use Magic Earth. It’s a great app, btw.
- Comment on Authy got hacked, and 33 million user phone numbers were stolen 4 months ago:
Technically they export a json file (with a different extension). But you can move to another tool with this.

Thanks for explaining.
I never heard of that. and for the Eipstein, I always associated his info with powerful people, but not specifically with the Clintons ಠ_ಠ

As someone who’s not following 🇺🇸 news, what does that (Hilary) part means?
- Comment on A YouTuber let the Cybertruck close on his finger to test the new sensor update. It didn't go well. 6 months ago:
A man of culture, I see.
- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 6 months ago:
I agree with everything you write, but I’ll also add an unpopular opinion as someone who tested the beta version of Vista and hated it: Vista x64 SP2 was a good OS, which solved most of the issues that existed with the OS.
And into this day, it’s the most beautiful Windows UI, at least for me.
- Comment on Microsoft wants to hide the 'Sign out' button in Windows 11 behind a Microsoft 365 ad 6 months ago:
I use Pop_Os on my desktop, but that’s nowhere near PowerToys. Even the search is barebones when you compare it with PowerToys using the Everything search plugins.
Also PowerToys has a lot more to offer than the search: mouse shake features, keyboard remapping, a great window manager with shortcuts, files preview and much more.
I know there are some decent alternatives in MacOS, but I haven’t found a proper replacement for that on Linux.
- Comment on Riley Testut launches Delta game emulator on App Store - shows middle finger to Europe 6 months ago:
I only use RetroArch on PC, so I don’t know how it works on iOS, but I will assume will be identical to the console versions, which already have all the cores included on the emulator (on PC there are downloaded individually).
I wouldn’t call it just a front end, it’s much more than that, and it has a great integration. Also the devs seem to focus a lot on the emulation accuracy.
- Comment on Riley Testut launches Delta game emulator on App Store - shows middle finger to Europe 6 months ago:
As an European, I still prefer the freedom to have alternate App stores.
Yet, I still don’t see a reason why they don’t provide the same app to all customers since it’s allowed by Apple, aside from greed or something like that.
Either way, let these developers enjoy their small time of fame, because as soon as RetroArch becames available, a lot of these emulators will be left in the dust ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That’s called Tubular, now.

- Comment on ‘Enshittification’ is coming for absolutely everything 8 months ago:
Adguard does a good job on iOS.
- Comment on Microsoft keeps shooting itself in the foot with Edge 10 months ago:
For some time, Edge was my favourite browser, given that it has awesome features like sleeping tabs, vertical tabs and web select (this last one allowed you to select an html table and paste in excel). With the silent removal of web select, and adding more and more useless features, they just pushed me into Firefox.

- Comment on Google pays Apple $18B to $20B a year to keep its search in iPhone 1 year ago:
I guess you’re right. And maybe most is their users are fine (or prefer) to use Google search, so that’s even a plus for Apple.
- Comment on Google pays Apple $18B to $20B a year to keep its search in iPhone 1 year ago:
Even though I use iOS devices, Google isn’t my search engine on these devices. I can understand an organization like Mozilla needing the money from Google, but when we’re talking about a trillion dollar company, I cannot have the same understanding.

Thanks (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
- Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish 1 year ago:
Thanks, I’ll take a look at.
- Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish 1 year ago:
For iOS users, I highly recommend using Vinegar. 👌
- Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish 1 year ago:
Do you know if there is a book (extensive article) which covers that in detail?
- Comment on I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app. 1 year ago:
AFAIK Safari Desktop for MacOS does not.
- Comment on Apple Maps will finally be getting offline downloads 1 year ago:
For offline usage, I still prefer using Here WeGo (I still preferido download the full map). For the other 90% usage, Waze and Apple Maps are good enough.
- Comment on Angry Birds developer Rovio got acquired by Sega 1 year ago:
Let’s hope Sega has some decency and restores the Angry Birds Classic to the mobile stores, which should had never left, in the first place!
