Haven’t switched from YouTube, but I’ve blocked recommendations (and auto-muted ads) with a browser extension for I think a few years now. I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily made my life better, but it has made my engagement with YouTube better.

I’ve been deleting my subscriptions one by one, if the channels don’t consistently post stuff I find valuable with the hopes of eventually removing YouTube from my life entirely.

The way Reddit fosters echo-chambers probably makes it the worst in my book.

Car ownership, I guess.

Unfortunately Qwant is free. I really want to pay a one-off fee to remove ads but that’s not an option. It’s also less feature-rich than Kagi (can’t hide certain domains from search, for example). Also, it blocks me from using it whenever I set my VPN to singapore because they haven’t set up ads there yet.

What makes Qwant noteworthy is that it uses it’s own web-crawler. And unlike Mojeek this web-crawler is half-way decent, although it is weirdly common for pornography to come up. Most other search engines are based on either Google or Bing.

Doing socialization anyway … is the therapist-backed approach.

Nihilism works wonders I guess. So does not going outside.

I’m part-way through Valheim right now. Single-player on Windows, I’m gonna change to Linux in a few weeks I think.

Needs Qwant search.

Or just excessively bright LEDs. Just because LEDs are super efficient, doesn’t mean they should take them as bright as they can go.

I thought it was as much as the $10-$20 keys from key resellers.

They already mine rare earths in America and Australia, it’s just production’s slow because there’s not much demand for gourmet rare earths.
