I can rationalise holding off on buying a new phone or furniture until a sale. But for groceries?
One either needs groceries or they do not.
Perhaps, there are some categories of groceries that one may not buy unless there is a good occasion but might buy them if there is a good deal on it?
Or maybe, one may buy the pricier variety like “organic” groceries during such sales?
The article indicates this was for their Prime Day event.
Are people really waiting for an annual event to buy their groceries? Or are the Fresh delivery personnel reassigned to other verticals for the event’s duration?
Former is shocking and borderline dystopian. Latter is just poor planning and resourcing.
Safe: Use text expansion for trivial yet long texts like your emails, addresses, etc. to almost eliminate errors in those texts. Espanso is something I use on Linux Mint, while macOS supports text expansion natively. I am yet to find something that fills the gap on NetBSD, but I almost exclusively use emacs on those machines, which has native support for snippets.
Unsafe: Remove USB drive without ejecting it. :P
Contrived yet neat: With special software (BetterTouchTool on macOS) or keyboard firmware (QMK and ZMK, which is what I use), one can use Spacebar as a layer key (SpaceFn, as it makes Spacebar behave as a Fn key) to unlock neat shortcuts like navigating using HJKL, add macros, remap hard to reach keys on to the home row, etc. There are other things that can be done such as one-shot modifiers which make typing less straining.
P.S. The snark in the comments here is surprising. Everyone starts somewhere. Let us be welcoming.
Which country, if you don’t mind telling?
Alternatively, is that a decision made by your country’s people/government? Or did Amazon just not want to operate there?
Very inspiring, if it is the former.
Oh. I only feel enlightened about anus.
I am clueless as to what it is doing in a medieval combat manual.
The most I can rationalise is that the author had a bout of frustration, and the manual was the only outlet for their thoughts.
Thank you for enlightening me.
Yep, it was one of the ways to have an animated avatar on BB forums.
Most recently, I have seen them being used in animated chat stickers (like on Signal).
I zoomed in on the picture, and the first thing I see is the word “anus”.
I could be misreading it, but what other letter could it possibly be.
What a weird thing to argue.
It doesn’t matter whether the list is part of the video or whether it was created by PewDiePie.
The list, in the screenshot of OP, is garbage.
Besides, the same screenshot is of a video that shows the list along with the name of the channel and the video title (which correlates with other news of the creator releasing an anti-Google video). So the list, for all purposes of this discussion, is part of the video.
Doesn’t matter if it is his list nor did I ever say it was garbage because it is his.
It is garbage, objectively.
This could just be the specific pockets of interest you frequent or whatever the algorithms deem worthy (after all, memes have more engagement).
I have always seen memes and compliments over the past two decades or so. Of course, the memes were more widespread, while the compliments remained where discussions took place.
Your comment made me look at the list again. I didn’t even realise Brave is located at the very top.
Also, why is “not ideal for a normal human” at the middle of the list?
Garbage, indeed.
Putting Cromite at the bottom most tier makes me discard the entire thing.
Your question’s answer is encapsulated to a high degree here:
Indeed it is. :-)
Also, your comment made me realise that I mistyped asses in my original comment!
Going to leave it there for the sweet sweet irony. :D
I am an ardent believer in it, given how many times it has saved our assets at work, often to the point of annoying people. That said, I usually end up being right for insisting on more time and/or data, so it’s all good.
However, my spoonerific brain always gets this twisted to “measure once, cut twice”.
I unknowingly wrote this once in a comment about asking for more metrics during a design review.
My colleague (the author of said design document) replied with the relevant metrics and a comment saying “measure never, cut forever”. :D

Yes. I was searching for a video about a panda refusing to bathe on YouTube app of a friend’s phone.
The first 4-6 results were Shorts, and I had no way of knowing if they were what I wanted apart from the thumbnails, since the titles were truncated. The next four were only semi-related videos, in the sense it was about a panda.
The rest of the videos that followed were absolutely bonkers. From Minecraft clips to random mobile arcade games I have never heard of, and many, many, MANY AI generated Chinese videos featuring a baby doing farm work, masonry, or other kinds of labor.
In a way, it felt like a display of arrogance. In the sense that YouTube was confident it had already served me what I was looking for in the first 10 results, and then said: “Now that you have seen what you searched for, why not watch this crap?”
One glance at the GitHub issues reveals just how much of a struggle it is for the NewPipe developers to keep the app functioning, with YouTube constantly targeting every trick they use.
It’s draining so much of their time and energy that there’s barely anything left for working on new features.
The mental exhaustion of the developers is another issue entirely, one that should be obvious to anyone familiar with the demands of maintaining a relatively popular open source project. The fact that it involves YouTube only makes things worse for them.
I had not thought of this serving as an entry or a trial for new customers. It makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
