There are definitely good parts of Reddit, which is why I still lurk (at least for now).

Stay away from the big subs and especially anything political.

I’ve looked up stats on number of apps average phone has. The app count seems unrealistically low with how everything is pushing apps these days.

New Reddit is such a shit tier interface though.

Going public = enshittification. As in the former is a direct cause of the latter

You can’t comment or post, but being banned doesn’t actually prevent you from logging in and viewing. Well, unless they change that too.

Enshittification will continue until morale improves

One of the reviewers had a similar take: commended the quality of the writing but disagreed with the author’s conclusion

Bioethicist David DeGrazia published a rebuttal to Benatar’s arguments in 2010; although he disagrees with Benatar’s conclusions, he praises the book for its intellectual rigor and philosophical engagement

Switched to an MVNO and have been quite happy with it. Cut bill by almost 2/3.

MVNOs do have a lower data priority than the parent network, but IME this hasn’t made much difference. I don’t tend to stream a lot of video on my phone though, so it might be a concern if you need fast data.

I found reading this to be quite validating of my own life experiences and observations

I’m not going to try and pinpoint a specific year, but my off-the-cuff answer is 2015.

One of the few live albums I like. Most of the songs on this I prefer over the studio versions. I consider this one to be a masterpiece.

Music and games. I’d be looking at GoG game installs.

Given the percentage of my budget that’s gasoline related

It affects the price of lots of other things though. I have an efficient vehicle and drive like 400 miles per month, so it isn’t the price at the pump that gets me but more things like groceries.

I don’t eat much normal sliced bread, but buns got just as stupid.

I’ve been running on full-synthetic (Impossible and others) for a while now. It’s no more expensive now than it was 5 years ago and is actually the cheaper option by me.

I actually had to look up M2 drives to see if the image above was those.

M2 has the connectors on the end rather than the side, but they don’t look too different otherwise.

You can several decades worth of glasses for that price

Air from room is cooled and that same air is blown back into the room after being cooled.

Air from outside is pulled into AC (does not go into room), gets the heat from the air in the room, then is blown out as exhaust.

If you aren’t sure, look for a diagram or in-depth explanation.
