We've had the youtube premium family bundle for several years, mostly for android auto in our cars. I switched to Firefox around that time as well but found it didn't work as well for youtube. So I compromised by using Chrome for youtube and Firefox for everything else. I will continue this way for the time being, but honestly getting rid of Chrome completely would not be a big deal at this point.

I used Boost for years on Reddit and switched to that as soon as the Lemmy version was released. It's stable and works well.

fuck() {
    sudo $(fc -ln -1)
} 

This function takes the last command and puts sudo in front of it. Actually used it in a zoom call at work without thinking and it took a second to realize why everyone was laughing. Not my invention--came across it years ago on stackoverflow or someplace and thought it was funny/useful.

I like Acer 27" 1080p monitors in this price range. I got two for my wife's work from home setup a couple of years ago, no issues.

I bought an HP m281 mfp printer 3-4 years ago and disabled automatic firmware updates when I was setting it up. Not too long after that I read that a new firmware release prevented 3rd party cartridges from working.

Anyway I bought new ink cartridges a couple of years ago after getting pop-ups saying the ink was getting low. Thing is, I haven't had to install them yet because despite the warnings the printer has been printing just fine with the original cartridges.

So in addition to blocking 3rd party cartridges HP is also lying about how much ink their cartridges contain.

F.U. HP.

I don't know but am curious--honestly I bought the app just to support the developer.

[–] kmirl 3 points 9 months ago

Same! I paid for the app as soon as I got it installed. I used Boost for reddit for years and loved it. It looks great so far!

It is available, for now. I refuse to use reddit's terrible mobile app, so when they kill old.reddit.com I'll be gone for good.
