Everything on the web is converging to the same bland, middle of the distribution curve, unoffensive mean. Everyone has A/B tested to the exact same product, and it's a bad experie…

On the web I can install ublock origin, privacybadger, and a vpn. Even if you ignore the phone's personal data aspect that's a 99% improvement over mobile.

I don't even bother installing apps anymore, I don't have time to research whether or not they are going to abuse my privacy or have some horrendous TOS. I got my core 10 apps and …

I thought pubg was a remarkable technical achievement, especially after years of tolerating bugs and jank in Arma.

This is so weird, I keep meaning to check out the brave browser but knowing it's tied into cryptocoin nonsense drops my interest level to zero.

Well I guess if it doesn't apply to us amazing, special techno mages then it's not really relevant and should be deleted. Who cares about the lives and silly struggles of those bor…
