A quote from a review of the game Alien: Resurrection written in 2000:

The game's control setup is its most terrifying element. The left analog stick moves you forward, back, and strafes right and left, while the right analog stick turns you and can be used to look up and down.

You may recognize this as how every console FPS works now, but it earned the game a 4.7/10 at the time.

You don't need to crack anything, pirate your ebooks (I've recently had good results from annas-archive.org for fiction books) and send them to kindle as personal documents.

If a corporation puts their crimes inside a computer, they can get away with it for years before anybody figures out how to do anything about it.

The profit motive is antithetical to software freedom

The ad blocking arms race churns ever onward

Google search was amazing for a while in the mid 2010s but they're losing the SEO arms race now

Anybody who unironically calls stuff cringe is at least halfway to throwing up a sieg heil

Yeah there's a pretty fundamental conflict of interest in an advertising company controlling most of the world's browsers.

Not only that, their official app was a third party app that they bought and rebranded.

I know it's an intentional feature, but it's a bad feature. Camming out damages the head of the screw. This exchanges repairability for manufacturing simplicity. Additionally, the sloped shape makes it possible to use slightly oversized or undersized drivers, further increasing the chance of camming out and damaging the screwhead.

Prices are made up and capitalism is one big shell game

I tend to binge through books. I just finished Andy Weir's Artemis and Project Hail Mary in about one night each.

Which means the things I'm in the middle of tend to be web serials since I can't just rush through. I've got dozens of tabs of royalroad open in my phone's browser. Everything by Ravensdagger is good, and I've been enjoying Return of the Runebound Professor and Let's Not Obliterate, and awaiting the scheduled return from hiatus of Ends of Magic on Monday.
