I like seeing more uncommon TLDs be used that aren't just .com, .org, or .net. Variety's kinda cool.

The fediverse, while still social media, has a level of authenticity unrivaled by most major social medias in my opinion. Hopefully it stays that way!

NewPipe is a great app, it really makes watching YouTube so much easier. Even though some things are out of date or kinda broken (they're rewriting NewPipe because of this), I find it works well enough for me to watch videos from my subscriptions.

I've been using OLauncher for years now, it is extremely simple and lightweight but it works for me.

I ended up playing a video game (BeamNG.drive) for a while, which has a realistic car driving experience as one of its selling points. I decided to try and drive there, because crashing wouldn't matter; after a while I couls drive for hours with as many other AI cars on the road as my bad computer could muster without crashing. The experiences then helped me learn how to drive a real car, because by then I had a feel for how cars drove. Would reccomend if you have an okay computer for gaming, a couple dollars to spare, and a lot of time.

This is probably one of the better pieces of news I have heard about ChromeOS, it seems like this could make ChromiumOS easier to support and make Chromebooks less useless.

I've been having this issue a lot, I hope they merge the PR to fix it soon.

I have a Pixel myself and I have to say, it's a good phone. It has a coherent experience and I've been able to customize it to my needs.

I also had a couple of phones from other OEMs (not Apple, lol) and they had more useless bloatware that was a pain, and an overall less coherent UX. I think the UX is what gets users to stay (obviously), so I do hope that more Android OEMs will focus in more on that so they can break Apple's market domination in the US.

Exactly, most headphones that I like are wired with an ordinary audio jack. I don't really feel inclined to get new headphones for a new phone, and a phone without an audio jack just makes things more difficult for me.

I haven't used Natural Atlas, but AllTrails is fine. It helps to discover good hikes, but its mapping of the trail can be bad at times. I've been on a few hikes where AllTrails wanted me to go off the marked trail or straight through lakes. Despite that, it isn't that bad if you trust the trail signage and the trail conditions over what AllTrails says.

Yattee seems to be the best option, but it seems to be an app where your mileage may vary due to it being a beta.

 

I'll start with an idea of mine: users could be banned if they used an English preposition in a comment. What other ideas do you guys have?
