Believe it or not, the Nikelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show some fun Star Trek stuff in it. Leonardo’s favorite show is called Space Heroes, which is a parody of Star Trek: The Animated Series.

In this case, “PDF file” is a homophone for “pedophile”.

For me, it’s not image viewers, but websites that take photo uploads. None of them that I’ve ever used have supported webp, so I always have to convert to png or jpg.

I wholeheartedly agree. I’m a technical person, I run Linux as my primary OS and use FOSS software. But I also have a full time job and 2 small kids, and frankly I just don’t have the time or patience to be a full time sysadmin. Proton has come a long way in providing alternatives to Gmail, GCalendar, GDrive, etc., but like you said if you want to replace ALL of Google you practically have to self host a gazillion Nextcloud instances or whatever.

I found that even with AdGuard DNS enabled, I still saw promoted posts (ads) using the Reddit app, so I deleted it.

It’s because Chrome is so ubiquitous. You go to any Google site, particularly search, in a browser other than Chrome and you’re presented with notifications to install Chrome. Plus, its integration with Google accounts presents a great value proposition for many users.

Personally, I was on Firefox for years until I got a MacBook Pro in 2014. For whatever reason, Firefox would constantly crash, so I switched to Chrome. I only went back to Firefox in about… 2019(?) when they released Quantum and I’ve been on it since. It’s really the perfect browser, particularly with extension support. I also like how on Android you can install uBlock Origin.

With Google’s impending Manifest V3 looming on the horizon for all Chromium-based browsers, it just further cements my decision to remain on Firefox. I do keep Brave around as backup for the extremely rare situations where something for whatever reason doesn’t work in Firefox, but that’s becoming exceedingly unnecessary.

I have a Pixel 7 with a Super Shieldz screen protector and a Peak Design case. I really like the PD case for several reasons:

• It covers the entire phone with a raised lip around the screen and has a flush back so it sits flat on surfaces
• I have a Peak Design bike mount that the case magnetically attaches to so I have a secure phone mount while riding my bike
• The aforementioned magnetic feature makes it work perfectly with MagSafe wireless chargers, essentially giving my phone MagSafe capabilities
