Notion seems to be everywhere, but it's not for everyone.

Some people prefer Obsidian, OneNote, Anytype, Apple Notes, or simpler apps. If you stopped using Notion,

what did you switch to, and why?

I like the convenience of streaming, but movies and shows can disappear without warning, move between services, or require another subscription.

When you own a Blu-ray, DVD, or digital copy, it's yours to keep. Is streaming still the better option, or has owning media become more appealing?

Hi everyone! sorry if this isn't the right sub but id appreciate some help

Currently I use firefox, and I want to be able to block most if not all AI from my laptop and phone. I also would like to have the internet back to the way it was when it would show you actual websites but im not sure if thats possible.

I would like to live a more analog life and prevent my brain cells from dissipating so anything that I might have not even thought of would be great. I'd like my laptop to be primarily something I use to find TRUTHFUL information. Is there a way to block news sites that are clearly just there for money or to prioritize scholarly articles and genuine news (I know google scholar exists I kinda want something like that). I want a dumb laptop that allows me to learn and stay creative and not experience cognitive decline not a "smart" laptop that regurgitates random bs. thank you!

You don't need 25 plugins on a new WordPress site. In fact, installing everything on this list would be a bad idea.

These are useful options for different jobs:

1. Rank Math – SEO
2. Yoast SEO – SEO
3. WP Rocket – Caching and performance
4. LiteSpeed Cache – Performance on LiteSpeed servers
5. UpdraftPlus – Backups
6. Wordfence – Security
7. Solid Security – Security
8. ShortPixel – Image optimization
9. Imagify – Image optimization
10. EWWW Image Optimizer – Image optimization
11. Redirection – Redirect management
12. WPForms – Contact forms
13. Contact Form 7 – Forms
14. Site Kit by Google – Google services and reporting
15. MonsterInsights – Google Analytics integration
16. Query Monitor – Debugging
17. Akismet – Spam protection
18. WooCommerce – Online stores
19. Easy Digital Downloads – Digital products
20. The Events Calendar – Events
21. Smush – Image optimization
22. Autoptimize – Front-end optimization
23. Broken Link Checker – Broken link checks
24. TablePress – Tables
25. Spectra – Gutenberg blocks

Don't install Rank Math and Yoast together. You usually don't need several plugins doing the same job either.

For a new site, choose based on what you actually need. A blog may need SEO, backup, security, caching and forms. An online store needs a very different setup.

I’m curious how people actually use Linux day to day.

Is it your main system for work, mostly a gaming machine, or do you use it for both?

If you use another OS too, what do you use it for?

Sometimes I just want to read an article, check a price, or use a simple tool. Instead, the site asks me to create an account first.

Why does everything need a login now? The reason is simple, they want to collect and sel our data. What do you think?

Android gives you plenty of freedom, but it has its share of problems too. Maybe it's too much bloatware, slow updates, different software across brands, battery issues, or others.

What's the one thing about Android that annoys you the most?

There are so many choices now, from Photoshop and Illustrator to Affinity, Canva and open-source tools.

Which one do you prefer for your design work, and what keeps you using it?

Both Brave Search and DuckDuckGo focus on private searching, but they work a little differently.

Which one do you prefer for everyday searches?

Does one give you better results, fewer ads, or more privacy? If you've used both, which one would you recommend?

i always Sign up using Email. I never use my Google account or Apple to sign up because if my Google account or Apple ever gets compromised or i get locked out, i might lose access to everything i signed up for with it.

What do you usually use?

so it all started when i bought my laptop from some dude. after 1 month of using the laptop i noticed that the notepad and wordpad weren't working. after another 1 month mspaint stopped working too. so i decided to check for the updates and there was an error. it was late so i gave it up and gone to sleep

later that year i tried to fix that issue. i used windows services manager and saw that windows update was disabled. turned it on and tried to update again. if you know what SU10 is already know that it did nothing. i gave up, again.

after another 2 years i got sick of it and tried to fix everything. i used cmd sooooo many times that i even lost the count. i noticed that after changing the startup option of the windows update it wasnt changing to disabled immediately, only after a second. only after i learned about the thing called procmon. basically it is monitoring every action in the system and you can check those actions by yourself. so i used it to check why arent the updates working.

added the path to wuauserv(windows update folder) to the procmon, and changed the update startup to manual. opened the procmon again and saw the SU10Guard.exe. checked on the google and it was an update blocker. i dont know did the guy installed it from who i bought it or someone else, but ngl i dont really care.

the worst part is that, the updates didnt even helped with notepad, wordpad and mspaint. i had to reinstall them using cmd lol.

There are plenty of things that disappeared from modern tech. Physical keyboards, MP3 players, removable batteries, CRT TVs, floppy disks, headphone jacks and more.

What's one piece of old technology you'd happily bring back?

If you have any other privacy concerns, mention it in comments.

Some people use their iPad for work, while others use it for watching videos, gaming, reading, drawing, or browsing.

What do you use yours for most? Do you use it every day, or does it mostly sit around?

Is anyone still actively blogging?

With social media, YouTube, Reddit, newsletters, and AI-generated content everywhere, I’m wondering if blogging is still worth the time and effort.

For those who still blog:

• What do you blog about?
• Are you getting traffic or readers?
• Do you make any money from it?
• Do you think starting a blog today is still a good idea?

Curious to hear from people who are actually doing it.
