Doesn't the recommendations require some history?

Though I feel that has peaked too, I think the recommendation engine was best around 2011 to 2015. It's kinda gone downhill since.

Did they forget that failed CCG that Valve was trying? Pretty sure that went into Mostly Negative for a bit too.

Eh, Fakespot has been decent enough for me. I think it works best when there are a lot of reviews, it's not very helpful when it's like 5-10 reviews on a product.

I think the issue is being privacy-minded but being on YouTube. But I guess there are different levels of privacy, one doesn't have to be at hermit-like levels. xD

For privacy-minded people, hardware switches are a nice thing. I remember when I had a Xiaomi Mi 9T with its popup camera, and it was interesting to see that some websites would trigger said popup camera. While the camera was never actually used, the thing would go up and down. This was even with an ad blocker installed.

How's the mala sensation on this? Just a bit? Szechuan peppercorns are everywhere here nowadays and I'm a little wary of it as a result. xD

No, I just want to use my time in other ways, thank you. You can call it lazy, but that's what it is. Windows 10 still works, the issues won't come till 2025, and regardless, Windows 11 issues are mostly personal preferences (I just want my task bar to work in a certain way).

This religious-like evangelising over Linux is such a turn off, regardless of whatever technical merits the OS might have. It's definitely not moving the needle for me, and it's turning me off the fediverse.

Won't meet everything, but Palm Phone? Read that people have been using GSI builds on it.

ITT: People who just read the headlines and not the article, and then going off on their own Windows rant/Linux evangelism instead of discussing the article.

Searching the web isn't that bad, it's on the bottom anyway, no? Or did they change that in Win11?

Still waiting for my taskbar changes, mainly.

Man, they took that out from Windows 10? That was such a handy thing to have.

I think it's time to let small phones go. You want small phones, I want keyboard phones. None of us are going to get what we want.
