This is why I use Start11

It’s ok, that’s clearly a different wolf. Nothing to worry about.

Rochester, NY checking in. Couldn’t see the total solar eclipse due to clouds.

Man, am I happy that I stopped using my Roku and switched to an Nvidia Shield TV. I’m also happy that I have a “dumb TV”!

I tried the Official Windows 11 start menu. I had disabled showing “recommended apps” in the settings. This hid the icons, but not the section. So, whenever I opened the start menu, the entire bottom half was a section that said “enable recommended apps to show them here.”

That’s when I installed Start11 (I also bought StartAllBack, but I preferred Start11) and never looked back.

Good thing I saw this was The Onion. I was having a hard time believing that Trump knows/remembers he has a son named Eric.

Code money get up get coffee, code monkey go to job.

You mean like the live-action movie they already made?

Wouldn’t 0.0.0.0 be better?

Why do I want to get a skirt now and try that out? Just to see what it would look like…

I haven’t heard of this one. Personally, I use FLauncher.

Short skirt / Long jacket?

I had an LG smartwatch that was rectangular.

I had a Fossil Wear OS smartwatch, I liked it but I barely used any of its features. Basically, I’d use it to notify me of messages and then I could see whether or not to pick up my phone.

I sold it and bought a Fossil hybrid (Collider HR) and I love that thing. The battery lasts about 2 weeks and people always think it’s so cool that it has physical hands.

It shows me whenever I get a message or calendar notification (or whatever notifications I want) and that’s all I care about.

I haven’t looked at the newer generation of watches, but I don’t think I’d upgrade or anything.

I also have other Fossil stuff, like belts. They make cool stuff, but they’ve always been a fashion brand first before a tech brand.

If they stop making smartwatches, are there any other brands that make good hybrid, eink watches?

Also, the article just mentioned they’d stop making Wear OS devices so maybe they’ll still make the hybrid watches?

I used to go to Q-ZAR all the time as a kid! Loved that place, I think I once had a birthday party there.

They were bought out

I didn’t realize people still used AdBlock Plus, or that it even still existed.

People still use AdBlock Plus? I thought that was long since dead. You know, since they sold out and let companies pay them to show ads.

I’d suggest the Firefox extension libredirect. Automatically redirects Twitter, Instagram, Reddit and more to alternative front-ends.

I haven’t seen this video before. Thanks for that!
