Nit Canadian, but there’s a typo in your post title, the “s” in “is” is missing :)

I rarely visit Reddit, but when I do, I use Oldlander to make it bearable: https://github.com/OctoNezd/oldlander

Firefox for Android has uBlock Origin (and lots of other useful extensions). You do need to set Firefox as the default app for YouTube links, but after that it works perfectly.

One of the main reasons I like using Mastodon for work is the fact that it’s completely separate from the large social networks. It’s only used by people who are committed to creating a new, better place. I don’t think users of Threads (or Xitter, for that matter) would have anything to offer for me.

It allows for more precise content filtering. Say you hate Star Trek but you like the people on the Star Trek instance, you can now solve that in one click

Adding an option “Block all users from this instance” would be a good addition, though.

I use a Fiio M6 to run Spotify, by downloading playlists through my home wifi before going out. It’s not the cheapest option, but I’ve had it since before the pandemic and it still works like a charm.

The device comes with an app to play MP3s, so that should work easily as well.

Also 4K Video Downloader.

Pippi Longstocking, although live-action, is from Sweden.

iIRC it’s just because we’re used to the lower framerate in movies. If you look up some 60 FPS videos on YouTube you’ll notice how much smoother it looks.

Personally, I’d wish sports broadcasts would be in 60 FPS by default. Often the action is so fast that 30 FPS just isn’t enough to capture it all.

In the Netherlands there are plenty of online retailers like Coolblue who are doing well by competing on quality and customer service, despite prices being a bit higher (ironically). Next working day delivery is standard, so that isn’t an issue.

Bol.com is also really successful and much like Amazon, including its problems.

I assume this is because of a first mover advantage; for a long time, Amazon was only available in the UK, Germany and France*, so that created a major disadvantage. I’m guessing this might apply to a lot of smaller European countries.

*maybe other countries too, but at any rate not in the Benelux.

Maybe we should ask spez to come over and help generate engagement :P

You can open a csv in Excel and edit it like a regular spreadsheet.

Watering can. Hoses use too much water.

Same on Thunder. Also, the spoiler isn’t hidden.

Same on Thunder.

Just do it

Now that is awkward

Oh nice, ragebait. That surely brings back the authentic Reddit feeling.

Lately, people have been posting really old memes (Advice Animals etc), but I do like that. It feels a bit like gathering all the parts of recent internet culture that were actually fun and using them to start over.
