Something important to remember is how many great franchises or games were originally made by a very small (or "indie") team. Zelda, Tetris, Mario, Minecraft, Sonic, Civ, and others. Each eventually either grew massively or were bought out by a bigger corporation later. Indie games may not be our savior, but so many mainstream games started out small. It seems to me that the smaller the team, the bigger the innovation.

Somebody is gonna try to fact check me on this, so I'll just say my point is you can't have a healthy gaming industry without a healthy indie industry too, IMHO.

Sauerkraut! Used to be toilet cheese, now it's a delicacy that's earned its place on my sandwiches.

I'm not exactly sure who is behind all the Fossify apps but I'm impressed with their momentum.

Frontend in software development. If you know, you know.

I join when the meeting reminder pops up and I click "join", right on time. I don't like small talk, no point in being early.

My SO has been using ASMR with some ear buds for years. It occupies her mind and helps her relax enough to fall asleep. Great stuff.

She also needs her fan... Or some other form of white noise. It may be an ADHD thing.

I'm intrigued. And although I read the article, I'm not entirely sure who or what this is for. It's cool, but... what?

The general attitude that "British English is correct" and Americans are wrong, is one of the most absurd things I've ever experienced. English is inconsistent enough as it is, so don't claim your inconsistency of spelling and pronunciation is somehow superior. Believe it or not, withing linguistics you don't make the rules.

Kagi! You can block websites so they don't show up. It'll also flag websites that contain a lot of spam or ads.

Wellll I don't entirely agree. Ever been to IKEA and had a cart full of furniture? It takes every bit of strength my strong body can manage to take a turn without sliding out of control sideways and knocking over five display units and three children. The non-turning back wheels make turns more manageable. Carts should work like cars, front wheels turn, back wheels don't. I submit this comment as sacrifice.

Strictly from a viewer's perspective, I use a YouTube client alternative (like GrayJay, Freetube, NewPipe) and subscribe only to the channels I want to see content from. Then I can look at video suggestions for given videos to see relevant content. This entirely removes me from the algorithm as well as any personalization that would put me in an echo chamber. I also branch out to reliable and unbiased news sources, better search engine alternatives, and so on.
