  They say they don’t associate the data they collect with anyone. There’s no way to trace back to my device.

  I have HomePods to activate my lights, and listen to the news in the shower. Sure, it doesn’t do all the fancy shit that Alexa does, but at least Apple has a track record of respecting privacy.

  Switching from beer to Coke Zero + rum/vodka for my drinks lost me a little weight. So much better for calorie counting.

  100%. Played this with my wife and we bought the vinyl afterwards. Such a chill exploration game, especially with a partner.

  My wife is in love with Disney Dreamlight Valley! It’s like animal crossing but with Disney characters and in full 3D. She dresses her character up differently every few weeks. She looked like a reindeer for December/January, and it was so cute! They’re very heavy on the fairy/cozy decor aspect, and while the expansions are paid, they do have free updates every 3-4 months.

  You can remove YouTube videos from your watch history, so they don’t influence your algorithm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Steambot Chronicles 2 and Maximo 3. I can’t believe they never finished the Maximo story. It’s such a good hack and slash collectathon of the PS2 era.

  Huh? I’ve disabled quests entirely on my desktop. I don’t see them AT ALL.

  I’m not sure about mobile because I’m on a very outdated version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord is getting mobile ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m so glad I’m still on October 19, 2023 release. I don’t have the new shitty UI that they implemented over a year ago, but I also can’t see forwarded message. Oh well. No loss really since I can just check those on my desktop later.

  Had this realization at a brewery and bars two years ago. The music playing there is stuff I grew up with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  TeamSpeak doesn’t include video and you don’t get notifications for posts in channels and there are no “chat only” channels. There is no media uploading or viewing within the client itself.

  This is like pitching, ”just buy a bike” to someone who lives in the suburbs 50 miles from work.

  The Spyro trilogy is a masterpiece! It was one of the first games to use shifting levels of detail for objects in the distance, so you could see farther away.
