  • Pixel 7a and Chrome, but I have Firefox installed with adblock installed and use it when sites get too annoying with ads.

    Most of my searches and content consumption is through dedicated apps anyways.

  • XcQ the link stays blue.

  • Oh god, proper old top gear! What a show that was. Even the new grand tour "specials" don't quite capture the spirit.

  • There are also a lot of recurring problems, obscure bugs, performance enhancements that someone has already solved. Software development should care about completing a task, not inventing the wheel (or an image upload) the millionth time.

  • Because it is affordable, available all around the world and has the colors of the trans flag on it (blue back, white bottom and pink mouth).

  • 5 Minuten Harry Podcast

    It's one of those "analyze every frame of a movie" podcasts that looks at Harty Potter und der Stein der Weisen (Sorcerer's Stone). The host and producer is a well known german youtuber who has previously made the most iconic german parody dub for the Harry Potter movies.

  • It's one of the ikea plushies. Apparently it is used by trans people as somewhat of an identifying symbol (has the trans flag colors on it) and people post pictures of themselves with this plush when they come out as trans.

    Disclaimer: this is my understanding as a cis het man, so take this with a boatload of salt.

  • Sync, I've used it for years on reddit and am quite used to it.

  • Pirates are often associated with tropical waters where parrots live. They probably took them as exotic pets, just like people today.

    And: Rule of Cool.

  • I like me some coffee but this guy comes off as a snob and gate-keeper in the videos I've watched.

  • I only pirate because it is more convenient than any alternative.

    The best example I experienced was when I tried to watch an apple tv original show with my cousin (who has family access to the service). He wanted to log in to his account on my laptop and needed to verify his dad's credit card to do so. No problem, but it took a while. After that we still couldn't watch, because the player didn't load the video for some reason. Cue my cousin fiddling about trying to fix the issue.

    In the meantime I had started to download the first two episodes and copied it on a thumb drive.

  • When people smoke at home with a window open the disgusting smell wafts out into the windows of unsuspecting non-smokers. It can't be helped, smoking needs to be banned.

  • If it ain't foggy at night: turn off your fog lights. They're blinding oncoming traffic.

  • Still there is scarcity because these are physical objects, most of which are out of production. With NFTs you don't buy a thing, you buy a link to a digital representation of... something. If the creator of the NFT decides to stop hosting that link your NFT is not only worthless it is also gone.

  • The methods and targets change, but bullies remain.

  • Has been, until end of last year. Now? Not so much.

    The way politics are moving rn I can imagine the big funny happening soon, which could trigger a new ice age though.
