I have been known to say it to my cat though, which is kinda deserving of a little ridicule.

“behind”

Sort of? Never used OneTab but it looks like a single list. Tabs aside breaks up tab sets into sessions / windows.

Tabs aside.

Nothing you can’t do with bookmarks, but it’s a much nicer interface.

Bielefeld conspiracy. The city of Bielefeld in Germany does not exist. Everyone claiming to live there is a paid actor. Anyone who says they’ve visited is either in on it or has been decieved.

Social skills are like any other skill; they can be learned. I’d suggest volunteering. It’s usually okay if you’re a bit weird and awkward so long as you’re contributing. I’ve done a fair bit of volunteer work and been on both sides of that. Plus it gives you a common goal and instant common ground with people; there’s at least one thing you all care enough about to do it for free.

If you use any diet tracking app, they’ll have that data. Any supermarket loyalty program can infer a good amount. Some can be inferred from location data (eg amount of time spent at a restaurant). Menulog, ubereats etc will track it as a matter of course. that’s just off the top of my head.

EDIT: I misread the question.

If you go up a level from the obvious interaction of marketing on food choices, there’s still a hell of a lot of corporate influence on the food environment. Your job, your rent and utilities determine your food budget, which limits your choices. Your job and commute also determines the amount of free time you have to cook. Your commute is controlled in part by car and fossil fuel industry. If you don’t drive, you’re limited to what you can reach and carry via public transport or bicycle infrastructure (both also gutted by car lobby). Supermarket corps determine where the stores are, what they stock, and how much it is. So you’ll find your choices limited by travel time, availabilit, and budget again. You can go up another level again and manufacturers and producers will have influence over (for example) the FDA, which determines safety standards of what you eat. So even if you consider yourself unpropagandised, corporations still control pretty much the entire food system and what you eat. Unless you’re living off-grid and growing everything yourself, pretty much every food decision you make is touched by a corporation. Even then, you’ll have to buy your seeds from somewhere.

Silent these days. For a while I used the “black headcrab nearby” sound from HL2 as a text tone tho. Was fun watching people’s reactions to it.

A lot, to be honest. Spend enough time around non-native English speakers and you realise how little sense English makes. Their ‘mistakes’ have their own internal consistency and in a lot of cases make more sense than English does.

A ferrite core memory module, circa 1956 at a guess.

Fun thought exercise but functionally irrelevant. It still feels like I’m making decisions, so that’s close enough.

This is covered in another thread on this post if you actually want to know. I suspect you don’t, and just want to post gotcha arguments in bad faith.

Just lurk there for a while. IMO, biggest misconception is that they’re omnicidal lunatics. They have a lot of in-jokes and bits that seem incomprehensible and border on unhinged to an outsider, and sometimes they kinda lean in to the perception. But if you spend enough time there you realise they’re very intelligent and deeply empathetic people. The “unlimited genocide on the first world” rhetoric is an expression of frustration rather than actual intent.

You might have better luck searching on the mobileread forums. Plenty of kindle hacks there.

I rewatched this recently, and yeah. You do kinda just have to accept it as a product of its time. The language is incredibly dated, but if you can get past that it mostly still holds up IMO.

Partner bought me a pet feeder with built in webcam. Worked great for three years until the servers went down. First and last time I trusted any internet connected appliance .

Yeah, there’s a few. Habitica comes to mind, but the generic term for this is “gamification”.

I mean there is peertube for video content. I know my instance runs aNONradio which is pretty eclectic music and talk radio, but there are probably other similar streams. There’s quite a few services for CC licensed music. Personally I listen to a lot of actual play RPG podcasts, which are probably right on the border of hobbyist / side hustle stuff. More indie and low budget than say, critical role or the like, but still partially monetised, even if only to cover costs.

Depends what you mean by “non-commercial” and “stuff”. Does community-supported via Patreon count? Are you after music, video, fiction writing, non-fiction, comics…

Brains do weird shit when you’re not around. Try not to dwell on it.
