I used to YouTube-mp3 a lot of music and then go through the very annoying process of renaming all of the files and moving them to itunes. After about the 6th time my favorite (or newly made favorite) site got removed by DMCA, I gave up and moved to Spotify. They had a 3 month free trial and I marked my calendar to cancel when it was over. When that day came I was like, lol, never mind. It was so much less hassle and less riddled with viruses and ads.

Really good point, and great reminder that I don't appreciate Wikipedia enough. They've been doing the same thing for 20+ years with no ads and only the occasional ask for money. And I think they know better than to try and make money or go public when all of their content is user-generated.

Dark mode at work, light mode at home/on personal devices. No real explanation why.

And because we all know the kind of content on Reddit is worth paying money for. You know, stolen memes from Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, etc, etc, etc......

Coffee Mate pumpkin spice is/was my lifeblood. They made it all year long in 2022, so I was enjoying it through spring and summer. Now, I'm impatiently awaiting fall so I can finally get it back.

I had not cared about it until a few minutes ago, when I read another top post about the girl who got an abortion being outed by non-encrypted messages on Facebook. Since iMessages are encrypted, but sms is not, I could understand iphone users wanting to switch to another platform after realizing their friend is an Android user.

Quora has to be one of the most useless, misdirecting "resources" out there. No idea how much of this changes once you make an account, but every single question is filled up with ads and other people's responses to other questions. It looks so confusing and messy. Who would want to sign up for a site that seems so disjointed?

I genuinely can't tell if the headlines are satire these days

I downloaded a virus in high school computer lab. I was looking to download Chrome, and Google pushed a scam Chrome link to the top. I still have no idea how or why it happened.

Apple user here. If they don't come out with a new generation of iphone mini, I am simply going to never buy another phone again.
