I’d say I’m happy that AAA companies are reaping what they sow from listening to their dumbass stakeholders.

Early Beta Minecraft was interesting because it felt like anything was possible. The documentation was not like it is now, so it felt like there was a lot more. That was probably enhanced by me being an imaginative kid at that time. The early generation kept things weird and fun. I miss those days.
I’d have left Twitch if I didn’t find it more entertaining than current YouTube. No one should be surprised they’re at pre-covid profit levels again because they tried to shovel way too many ads down people’s throats.
Imagine tuning into a random stream and getting greeted by 3 ads before you can understand if you want to stay or check a different one. I’ve been frustrated enough that I just turn to something else altogether for entertainment.
There are some decent adblockers like TTV.LOL, which is a simple proxy to a country that doesn’t allow ads. But sometimes those solutions don’t work either. Ironically I just use Turbo while not paying for YouTube premium, but just as people don’t pay for YouTube Premium, I understand not wanting to support Twitch for a variety of reasons.
Thanks for your work! I moved when I could finally import Wallabag bookmarks, and I’m loving everything so far.
I’d say in a good bit of cases better than Google now. Each time I’ve resorted to Google because I think I’m getting lackluster results, it’s got the same results but also a bunch of SEO dogshit I have to sort through. Kagi’s personal site ranking and filters make it worth it too.
It’s a paid service that in return respects privacy, and has results as good as Google’s.
Google doesn’t say “Fuck you, Pay me” because you are the product.
Intel gave more detail to Tom’s Hardware and they updated the article up top. This still sounds a little disingenuous to me, like they’re still trying to minimize the issue with words and no action.
Gamer’s Nexus has a recent video with some possible explanations.
It’s a known issue with tailscale. It drains my battery pretty bad as well. I had to opt for wireguard for remote access instead.
This is just a small list, but plugins like beetcamp, deezer, and lastgenre among others have been helpful to tag music. If you use deemix or buy music from bandcamp those plugins are extremely helpful. Lastgenre needs some configuring and monitoring to make sure irrelevant tags aren’t assigned to songs though.
If you’re into scripting, calliope is another tool that can interact with Spotify, lastfm, and musicbrainz (though musicbrainz stuff in my experience was unreliable). I’m using calliope to scrap together a solution to sync my local favorites in my music library and sync that to Spotify. It can also create playlists for Spotify from your local music library, and get Lastfm recommendations based on an artist or song.
I look forward to using LinkWarden eventually! My current bookmark setup involves both LinkDing and WallaBag which is a little quirky. Hopefully soon Wallabag exports could be imported and I’d be good to migrate.
For me, I know it doesn’t offer much privacy if its locally hosted, but the latency compared to using public instances is much better. Which may sound stupid, but at least I also don’t have to depend on another person for their instance.
I have been self-hosting a local Invidious instance for several months. I watch videos from it every day and I’ve had no IP ban so far.
I fully understand your first point and that is how I feel. That’s why I made my comment; I and others have been dealing with endless AAA slop that mostly hasn’t been intriguing for a long time. Even if its a certain game franchise I’m not interested in, I understand other people’s pain of it been driven into the ground with micro transactions and buggier and buggier games.
