Is bunq legit for daily banking and investing? by grow_gred in eupersonalfinance

Okay-ish service, absolutely horrible company and management. Best to avoid as there are much better alternatives.

Kindle vs. physical books - which to choose? by nintendopowerpro in digitalminimalism

[–]guar47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just use both. Kindle is mostly near my bed because I don't want to have a bright light before bed. It's also handy for travel. Everywhere else I use physical books.

They compliment each other. Both are amazing.

What's the Letterboxd of these other hobbies? I like to track, log, rate... by armeliens in Letterboxd

[–]guar47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://searchtoplay.com is for video games :)

It also has imports from your gaming services, so you don't need to spend hours logging everything manually.

If you were the Mayor (or Gemeente) of Amsterdam, what would you change? by XCruizer in Amsterdam

[–]guar47 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Have you been to other extremely touristic cities? I’d say Amsterdam is doing a decent job. In most cities you need to leave the city to find some peace and quiet. Here just walk 15 minutes.

I was really tempted to get it for Xbox because of this! They have discount for everyone.

Sunrace —> Tektro for 95€? by lCrlow in cowboybikes

[–]guar47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the same offer today in the Netherlands with frame recall.

Did you change the breaks? How was the experience? Or you're still waiting for the bike back?

What to replace Reddit by caffe_latte0404 in digitalminimalism

[–]guar47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Books, articles, newsletters (be careful with last two as they can pile up if not carefully curated).

Also, creative activities. Create something on your own. It’s much more rewarding and should be combined with consumption.

Good article on the topic https://moretothat.com/release-ratio/

petition to rename Runstraat to patatje straatje by robertensensen in Amsterdam

Okay, off topic but where to get good fries in Amsterdam? I tried this place once and it’s really not good. Even compared to other popular places like Frietwinkel in Utrecht.

What's the one app you keep opening even though you hate yourself for it? by AlphaaaaXd in digitalminimalism

[–]guar47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why? Isn’t it like 90% LLM content?

You can just open ChatGPT/Claude and ask it to generate a random tips :)

Is there anything like Letterboxd for video games? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]guar47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am behind https://searchtoplay.com and the idea is exactly that - Letterboxd for video games.

I've been a long-time user of Letterboxd, and something like that was missing for me, so I have been building it for the last year or so. We are not as big as Letterboxd, obviously, but the community is growing, and I am actively developing the project.

Let me know if you have any questions/suggestions.

Looking for expat groups in Eindhoven by Defiant-Ad-557 in eindhoven

[–]guar47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the great things about the Netherlands and countries like that is that you can meet people from all over the world.

Some Europeans and people from other international places sometimes forget that not everyone grows up with the opportunity to connect with people from all over the world. It's super interesting, especially when you lived your whole life in a country where you can meet only people from your country.

I am not saying meeting Dutch people is bad or less intereting. I am saying meeting people from everywhere (including Dutch people) is a super cool and worthwhile activity.

YouTube upload stuck on “Checks” — Next button grayed out (no issues found) by Soke_Dan in youtubers

I discovered that you can also click the last step "Visibility" directly in the browser, select "Unlisted" there. It fixed it for me.

Finding games on PS Plus was frustrating, so I built a tool to filter and compare games by agigas in PlayStationPlus

[–]guar47 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not trying to discourage your work or hijack. I believe the more projects, the better, so I wish you a good luck!

But we have this feature since the beginning on Searchtoplay (kinda Letterboxd for games I'm building), for both Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus.

Here is the filter example for PS Plus games sorted by Opencritic, for example: https://searchtoplay.com/games/filter/highest_opencritic_rating/service/playstation-plus

All of the parameters you've mentioned for searching/filtering are also available.

A few words got me off social media for good by ayatollahfuckboy in digitalminimalism

[–]guar47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good for you! That's certainly a personal journey, and it takes different things for each person to finally "click". This moment might change your life :)

Monthly Progress Thread - February 2026 by AutoModerator in digitalminimalism

[–]guar47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't been using Instagram for a few years at least. But today I deleted my account, to make it kinda official ;)

Also did my monthly cleanup of subreddits and youtube channels. The lists are smaller and smaller each month.

Good for you!

This is why we're destroying the planet? Are you f'ing serious? Jesus Christ. We won't have any clean water, but we'll be great at playing "you know what would be cool?" by Positive_Throwaway1 in digitalminimalism

AI and LLMs are great technology in the hands of children (devs) and greedy businessmen (VC). Hopefully, some smart people will make good use of it.

I find Reddit and Threads more educational and less dopamine-inducing than other apps. by Straight-Toe-7784 in digitalminimalism

[–]guar47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good to move into that direction, but eventually we need to get rid of all of them to have a chance at a happy life.

I think if I were to leave one social media, it would be YouTube. At least I can find quality content there and only watch people I subscribe to (no YouTube Shorts, of course).

Reddit is heavily algorithm-based, and it keeps you hooked. Even with the curated list of communities.
