You might check out the Lawnchair launcher, that aims to replicate the Pixel launcher, but FOSS and more cuatomizable. You can set the search app up with any browser on that.

Elon musk: is inventing brain chips

People: oh okay.

Elon musk: wants people to use them

People:

I used Niagara free for quite a while. It does have a fair few features locked behind the paywall, but it’s certainly usable.

Any reason to switch from InnerTune to this?

I like not mixing it. Then you can get variaty in each bite, and choose what it is.

It’s insane that Americans still tolerate this.

A consistent viewpoint I see on America, is the assumption that if we don’t like a politician we can simply say so and they’re out of office. One of the biggest problems here is actually that most people feel lacking in their personal control on the government, even local. Everything is such a large scale, that ‘speaking up’ not only feels like it does nothing—it really does nothing, unless you’re famous or something. No one here is happy about how our government works, we just don’t have control over it. It’s an illusion of control, while the people at the top make the actual choices.

Really cool article—though I really wish more articles like this included sources. Not that I necessarily don’t believe it or something, but things like this have scientific papers backing them up, and it makes me uncomfortable when they aren’t included

Personally, I don’t think a service is in the wrong for trying to protect against ad block, especially when their revenue comes from ads. However I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with adblockers continuing to innovate to circumvent that. I’m rooting for Ublock Origin lol

If you’re using Ublock Origin, you can use their “element zapper” to get rid of it. Also, it took me a minute to figure out, to exit “element zapper” mode on a phone, swipe right twice

The spotlight-like search from Windows Power toys is far better, they should just make it the default

You know, I always forget that

Who said they were people? I’m out of touch again aren’t I

For RSS I recommend twine—not sure if it’s available on Mac os though. That’s always going to be a struggle with foss stuff, support for Mac is lacking because the people making them tend not to use macs

Recently discovered Veloren, maybe you haven’t heard of it

This is a totally wild card guess, but I imagine obsidian probably has a community hand writing extension

I keep hearing people recommend signal messenger as an alternative to discord, and honestly that’s the most obvious sign you don’t actually use discord

My point is that the US doesn’t make cars the “most convenient” option, they make it the “least inconvenient”

That’s just semantic. The least convenient is the most convenient by definition. The question is what you want to be the most convenient. We agree that it shouldn’t be cars—you’re arguing for the sake of argument, not because we have an actual disagreement.

The fact of the matter is, in many places (I’m thinking of America mainly) using a car is far more convenient, if not the only option, and that’s the problem

Thanks for the explanation. From the sound of it I’ll probably stick with passwords—i like being able to copy them, cause I’m often signing in to an application, not a website, etc.

There are lots of reasons it could be, or could not be this. It could be related but not directly, like a lack of sunlight. That could be as a result of screen time instead of sunlight, but that’s not necessarily screen time’s fault—anything could keep you from going outside. The evidence that screens in particular are causing these problems is lacking. Same with social media, though I’d be more open to believing that.
