So it’s pronounced “kwoob,” right?

Thanks for posting the archived version. I ran across this story recently and hit a paywall right after the article mentioned the problem with paywalls.

Dude seems OK to me; this might be a you problem.

More like Jeff Bozos, am I right?

As tempted as I am to reply “Well, duh,” I suppose it’s good that we’re getting research to back up what we already knew.

That’s some good news. I’ll be interested to see what actually changes.

I didn’t even realize that was a thing. Cool, though.

I have an RG353V. I got that one for ~the aesthetic~ (looks like an old gameboy), and I do like it, but I can see why people generally suggest a model with a horizontal form factor instead, since the vertical (gameboy shaped) is not very ergonomic. I mainly stick to 8 or 16-bit games. but it should be able to handle 5th gen consoles (saturn, ps, n64) just fine, but 6th gen (dc, ps2, gamecube) will depend on what game you’re running and may require tweaking the settings. ps3 is right out, I’m afraid.

Like I said, I mainly run older stuff, so double check what I’m saying if 5th and 6th gen games are important to you. I don’t really mess with those.

If you want a handheld, Anbernic makes some good stuff. https://anbernic.com/ They do tend to load the SD card up with games beforehand, but the card is cheap & likely to fail, and the games are sorted & titled strangely (and may be otherwise dodgy). So you probably want to replace it with your own card with games you sourced yourself.

Huge and widespread, yet low-quality and ineffective. Kind of disturbing and amusing at the same time.

How unsurprising. There will be no consequences for the federal government, even if this information should become common knowledge.

What a fucking joke, LOL.

I hate big tech. I hate big tech.

This looks like a pretty good list, but I worry about the fact that they promote Brave. I’ve seen many users warn against it, and after reading the wikipedia page for Brave Browser, I understand why.

OK, this doesn’t have swipe to type or a notepad, but I’m trying out Thumb-Key. It’s a very different sort of keyboard, almost akin to the old-fashioned way of texting with just the number keys on a phone, just updated for a smartphone screen. The problem is that it takes practice/memorization to learn, because it’s a whole new layout. It’s open source and very privacy conscious (there’s no predictive text or autocorrect).

I can’t personally recommend one because I haven’t tried any, but I’ve seen Piped and NewPipe mentioned.
