I heavily use android's focus mode to keep myself from being too distracted. Originally I tried using app timers, but I found myself just constantly bumping them to the point where I wasn't getting a benefit. Whenever I notice an

Its not clear to me how much this will help; but based on how tags work, it seems like it should help at least somewhat. I use Privacy Badger on both Firefox on PC and Android and haven't run into any sites that break, other than maybe

I imagine its mostly just familiarity if you want to tweak it in the future. There are also a lot of static site generators, and they can be an easy tool to create or modify yourself. Just as an example, I build my own because I didn't

Agreed - the edge-to-edge text can seem daunting and be a bit of a pain to read, depending on your display. I used reader mode to make it a bit more managable. Also worth noting the last ~30% of the page is two appendixes. I think the artic

ListenBrainz Radio can be decent - https://listenbrainz.org/explore/lb-radio/ This is made by the MetaBrainz folks, the same people behind the MusicBrainz database (which is used by ListenBrainz).

I've used Firefox on desktop for years, even through some of the bad times. Today, FireFox is a really great experience and works well everywhere for me, except for some very specific use cases like internal company websites where some

Yeah - not the OP but I investigated containers and they didn't do what you're asking for. I ultimately ended up installing Simple Tab Groups to get similar behavior to chrome. It would be nice if this functionality was actually b

To me, if you compare an interaction with friends as feeling like bribery, I question the friendship a bit. Maybe its just me, but spending money/time/whatever in any way with/for friends shouldn't feel that way..

We racreset our iDracs monthly. Seemed stupid when I started, but I'm grateful after working with them enough. Newer versions seem to be a bit better than 11th and 12th gen iDracs; but I would never rule out a racreset, even on the new
