Phones and PCs are fine, I’m talking more smart speakers like Amazon Echo or consoles like the PS5.

I’ve never been impressed with YouTube Music, the UI feels jank and it doesn’t work on half the devices in my home (compared to Spotify which just works on everything)
Brave is run by some pretty shady people who do things like automatically adding affiliate links to your URL or collecting donations for content creators without their consent
As far as an actual browser goes, Brave is based on Chromium so its more likely to work on every site but it has a bunch of crypto nonesense added that you probably would want to uninstall. There are more extensions that will “just work” on Chromium browsers, for example I’ve had issues with the Postman extension on Firefox before
Firefox is based on Gecko, its pretty well supported and follows all the standards but there is probably a higher chance that a site might break (usually down to its pretty strict privacy defaults) there isn’t really much bloat (other than a Pocket integration that you might want to turn off)
Mozilla also feel (to me at least) like one of the last groups of Good People on the web, you can reach their manifesto to learn more.
This is pretty much it.
YouTube Premium is only remotely worth it because regular YouTube is an absolute shitshow
Hard disagree with that, DDG searches are accurate about 90% of the time that I use it (which as a web dev is quite a lot) if they aren’t hitting Google with the same term rarely wields any better results.
I’ve seen a few video games and movies that I’ve gone on to look into from YouTube ads.
90% of them are total annoying bollocks though.
This is the thing that got me.
I never used to mind ads that much, yea they were there but the sites had to earn money somehow and advertising was a fair way for them to do it. I’m not going to pay a subscription for every site that I want to visit.
Then one time I was looking at jeans on GAP and was bombarded for the next 3 weeks with ads for them on basically every damn site I visited.
I don’t hate ads that don’t track me about and are obnoxious in their presence, but that just doesn’t exist anymore.
I think I got my .fun for about £2 from names.co.uk usually price for a .com is £30.
I’ve found most weird TLDs are cheaper than classic ones, but there are some exceptions (.app and .io comes to mind)
Honestly Apple TV+ is a pretty good service; Silo, Severance, Physical, Shrinking, Mythic Quest, For All Mankind and Invasion are all worth a watch, and that’s just the stuff I’ve seen.
I would recommend at least taking a trial for a month, there is less stuff but it’s a lot higher quality than much of the junk on Netflix.
Foundation on Apple TV+, beautiful, complicated, epic sci-fi. I’m rewatching the first season whilst the second is getting released week by week.
I wish I could wipe my memory of Severance and watch it again for the first time again.
Such an incredible show.
There really is no secret ulterior motive in this case.
Sort of. Smaller images mean it’s less work for Google to crawl and index them, if every image is 40% smaller then that’s potentially saving them millions a year in storage and bandwidth costs.
So, yea, it’s better for the web but it also massively benefits them.
+1 for 1Password
The app is fast, the service is great, I never have problems with the login prompt pop-ups coughNordPasscough and sharing credentials is super easy. It even works well when you’ve got multiple accounts for home and work, something other providers really seemed to struggle with.
I’m also a Fastmail subscriber and the integration between the two is awesome, you can create disposable (masked) addresses that aren’t tied to your main account in anyway right from the website form, if they start spamming you then you can just kill the address and nothing has leaked.
Turns out quality OC is actually pretty hard to make, plus the numbers of lemmings is still pretty low, even after all the Reddit shit went down.
For daddit there is !dadsplain@lemmy.ca
Its only just started but there are a few folk there.
Yes but if you don’t cause a bunch of poor people conflict and pain how will your wife know that you love her? /s
