The fries are great. I will defend them wholeheartedly.

Everything else leaves a lot to be desired in terms of nutrition, flavour and cost.

Intensely dumb.

EDIT: The Pro Plus Premium Max etc words all jumbled up together just don’t fit well with me. I’d need to keep referring to the chart in the article to avoid confusing between all the models.

I’ve been using NextDNS for about 1.5 years as a paid customer.

Sometimes I run into these weird connection issues where nothing loads. I turn off private DNS on Android then turn it back on and pages start loading again. I haven’t had this issue on iPadOS and Windows.

I don’t know if it’s an Android thing or a NextDNS thing.

I wish there was an easier way to enable/disable it on their website as sometimes you need to access a website blocked by your filters and it can be cumbersome to remove private DNS in Windows’ settings.

Other than that it’s worked well.

Unfortunate.

I made a subreddit https://old.reddit.com/r/RandomButton/ a decade ago to showcase subreddits I discovered via /r/random. Kept it updated for about a year.

Nothing serious, but I track all the games I play. According to stats, I completed 30 games and spent a total of 4d 15h 32m playing games this year.

Mostly Lemmy. Mastodon sometimes – I have to spend more time there muting RSS bot accounts to find stuff of my interest.

Dipping my toes into Bluesky as well. So far it’s been good – very polished experience.

I also lurk quite a bit on Tildes.net.

Threads posts show up on Instagram and if you want to view one it redirects you to the Play Store. I feel that’s why it’s so high up.

Current: Pixel 6a. Probably the best out of all the phones I’ve owned. Wish the battery life was a little bit longer.

I do have a soft spot for my first ever smartphone, the Nexus 4. I adored it.

Yep.

Looking forward to multi-community support on Lemmy.

It won’t fix the issue of comments being everywhere though. Take this post I made on [email protected]. The same link has been crossposted to 7 other communities with many more comments. I wonder if in the future it’ll be possible to combine comments from various posts about a single link into a megapost of some sort.

• Seal: Allows me to download YouTube videos, Instagram reels, etc. It’s a simple and pretty front end for yt-dlp.
• Fossify Calendar: Finally kicked Google Calendar to the curb. No fuss calendar app.
• AVNC: Allows me to remotely control my laptop from my phone. Requires installation of VNC software on the laptop (I’m using TightVNC).
• Binary Eye: Barcode/QR code scanner with history.
• Loop Habit Tracker: Helps me keep track of habits – eg. going to the gym X times a week.
• Island: Allows me to create a clone of app. Useful for apps that don’t support multi-accounts.
• Simple Time Tracker: I use it to keep track of how long I spend playing a game, since I like documenting the info for HowLongToBeat.com

Other than these, K9 Mail and NewPipe.

Genius Bar

Once a week.

Dark, Twisted and Cruel from Alan Wake II’s soundtrack.

Haven’t played the game yet. Came across the song while listening to Alan Wake’s American Nightmare’s soundtrack.

Multiplayer games that require invasive anticheat or really long games that take 100+ hours to complete.

Exactly! Everything else is just extra steps for the same result.

Chaotic neutral for me. The twist tie goes in my twist tie collection.

A different horror-ified version that I like.
