  • We overestimate what most people do with their computers.

    Most people that buy one never touch the re-installation of the OS. I wouldn’t be surprised if I learned 99% of PC users haven’t even done it once.

    People buy a PC and use whatever it comes with. They don’t uninstall bloat. They might use a different browser. And then they’ll stick with it until they’re done with it.

    It requires knowledge to use different Operating Systems. Most people either don’t have the time or don’t care to learn it. I can’t say I blame them, I never cared to learn about my car. I don’t ever really want to! Yet, I use it every day.

    I was really excited about Favorites in the Music app… until I learned it’s just replacing “Loved.”

    I thought they’d have a third type of system:

    Favorites / Suggest More (Love) / Suggest Less

    It’s sort of like that now, but it’s:

    Favorites (Loved) / Suggest More (Added to Library) / Suggest Less

    Oh well!

    Honey’s whole scheme is selling your data. It tracks everything. I don’t use it.

    I use Baking Soda and Vinegar and SponsorBlock and Wipr.

    The first two basically fix video players on every site: basic HTML player instead of the bloatware most employ.

    SponsorBlock for YouTube to cut down on sponsored segments that YouTubers may play in the middle of a video.

    Wipr for my ad blocker. It’s been incredibly solid since I first bought it. Big fan.
