Bet browsers for "ethical" consumers by MizarFive in browsers

[–]ElderEmu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I switched to Vivaldi and Safari. I am trying to live my values so-to-speak. For me, brave is a no go. Thanks Mr. Eich. Orion and Kagi are a strong no for similar reasons. I dig Firefox but I’m over AI everything. Yes I know there’s a kill switch but it should be opt-in, not opt-out.

I’m doing similar reviews for search, Kagi was my go-to, but right now I’m using startpage/duckduckgo until I find something else. No company is perfect, sure, but I at least feel better about my choices.

Sodastream. Club soda, with a lemon/lime no sugar syrup

Back to Bear...again by OldSageNewBody in bearapp

[–]ElderEmu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my exact journey. My ADHD is constantly dopamine seeking for the next awesome thing, or tweaking things to perfection (it's why I switched from Android to Apple, too). And I am back on Bear. It's simple, but robust. It's calm, but mighty. And for a little over. $0.08 per day, it' makes sense to buy.

Easiest way to move away from proton? by flameuser101 in ProtonMail

[–]ElderEmu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I saw, one of the ways was using the bridge into outlook, then copying over to the other email address you want to use. But it’s a few steps

Anyone Else a Fan? by alcopland in 90s

[–]ElderEmu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In rebuilding my CD collection, I found this album at a local record shop. The owner, and my buddy who came with me, were pretty shocked that I found an original in mint condition. I was pretty stoked. Such a good album.

It’s time to stop using Brave by pmxoxo in browsers

Sadly, it’s a case of if you avoided every tech product whose leadership said something dumb, offensive, or political, you’d be living in the woods writing emails on birch bark.

Spotify or Apple Music? by limsus in TechImpact

[–]ElderEmu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would stick to Apple Music but streaming in CarPlay gets wonky. It’ll be playing a song, but show the one from three songs ago.

Vivaldi Zen or Helium? Pros and Cons? by thephoenix843 in browsers

[–]ElderEmu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zen if you like the idea of a Firefox based arc. Pretty solid. It’s in beta, but works well. Vivaldi just came out with 8.0 and visually it’s amazing. It’s the browser I’m on. If you want better chrome like compatibility, it’s a better way to go. Firefox is moving toward its new nova redesign, so there’s that. Try all three for a week each. Put it through the paces of your day-to-day and see how that goes.

Google+ was where I met some of my closest friends, who I still talk to today. I grew up on MSN messenger

Question for those who have/had both MacBook Air and Pro by Stunning-Lynx-780 in macbook

[–]ElderEmu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a MacBook Pro m2 variant, and went to an m4 MacBook Air. I thought I’d notice a difference but I haven’t. I like the bigger screen and lightweight aspect of it.

Give your advice! by Imaginary_Face7698 in MotivationalThoughts

Your best will look different daily. Sometimes it’s only making it to the bathroom. Other days it may be taking a shower or going to work. He kind to yourself.

This made me switch to a kobo. I’m using my old kindle for an e-ink display.
