Do you get sick of the same songs and how do you combat it?
  • This is a really good point. I wish I had the money to buy physical media, to support the artists I like. However, I listen to way too many songs and albums. Not only this but I enjoy shuffling music from different albums. I always use shuffle unless listening to new music.

  • Do you get sick of the same songs and how do you combat it?

    If I find myself overplaying certain songs, I sometimes have to force myself to take a break because when I don't, I usually end up ruining/disliking the song. I hate when this happens because perfectly good songs that I love end up irritating me because I have heard it too much. Do you stop listening to those songs or just play it as many times as you like?

    EDIT: changed title to be open-ended.

    Got any good open source Android games?

    Most mobile games nowadays seem to be crap. Got any good mobile games that are open source and fun to play (for more than a few days)?

    Official starter kit or clones?

    Looking to get into Arduino for the first time. Have already searched about this topic, looking to seek some additional input, as you all seem to know what you are talking about. For reference the Elegoo clone is around half the price of the official pack. There is a Elegoo clone of the Mega board (as opposed to the Uno) which is almost as expensive as the official Uno one. Or would I be better off buying parts individually? I apologise for knowing nothing about electronics.

    Which carbonated soft drink is the best?

    The age old question. Coke? Pepsi? Store brand? Any other?

    I'm personally a Dr Pepper guy myself.

    Most "simulation" games aren't simulators

    I was just browsing the Google Play Store and I am getting frustrated seeing games being tagged with the genre, but aren't actually simulating anything. E.g. Idle Miner/Mining Tycoon (can't remember name). Nothing in the game is accurate or even tries to represent real life. It even has cartoon graphics. Now I'm not getting mad about the games themselves, just the fact that they are being labelled as sims. Anyone else annoyed by this?

    Watch history required for recommendations now on Youtube/Alternative to youtube.

    In order to get recommendations on your homepage you need to enable your Youtube history in order for videos to be "tailored for you". This is complete BS, as recommendations were perfectly fine before, and I have never had history enabled. This is just a stunt to get people to give their personal data to google. Now I know google has always been bad but this is what really gave me the wake up call, the final straw if you will.

    This has prompted me to look for an alternative, specifically an open source alternative. Unfortunately, there are no suitable candidates to my knowledge. However, there is a small, open source alternative which is federated (similarly to Lemmy) called PeerTube. I believe with enough users it could potentially become a viable alternative. Please consider reading more about it. I have not joined yet but I will research more tomorrow. Thanks for hearing me out, just wanted to spread awareness.

    Leaving pointless answers/reviews on websites

    I'm not sure if this is just me, but it drives me nuts when I see someone answer a question (for example in the questions section on an amazon product page) to just say that they don't know or they give an unrelated answer.

    For example:

    Q: Do these headphones support bluetooth and wired connections?

    A: I'm not sure, but my grandson loves these!

    The same goes for posts which ask a question on other sites or reviews complaining about a product, despite it doing exactly as advertised. Idk, maybe I should have posted this on unpopular opinion.
