Google also can’t:

Share app revenue “with any person or entity that distributes Android apps” or plans to launch an app store or app platform

Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first

Offer developers money or perks not to launch their apps on rival stores

Ok, now do Epic and their paid exclusive practices.

That was really good. It's something I hadn't given any thought to , but the fact that First Person Shooter didn't exist as a term when Doom released, it was interesting seeing the progression. I remember as a kid referring to Heretic and Hexen as Doom-clones, but wasn't really cognizant of the term as it fell out of use in favour of other descriptions.

I don't think Orks are that worried about grammar..

I'm sure there are niche users for who paying the price of admission is acceptable, but for myself and I assume a vast number of other users, when I'm comparing performance of hardware I'm already checking reviews on multiple other sites, so this will only mean I don't bother to check their site.

I haven't visited their site in a long time though, so I'm not sure what value-adds they offered that might make the price more palatable.

Anyone interested in diving deep into the rabbit hole on Team Xecuter and Gary, I highly recommend the Darknet Diaries episode in which Jack interviews Gary and goes through the history.

A couple of random suggestions:

Summoning Salt - Video essays detailing world record speedrun history across a variety of games. Videos are easy to understand and assume you aren't intimately familiar with the games in question. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i1AHCaokqhg

RRC Restorations - A Scottish bloke that does really in depth restorations of mostly cars and motorcycles, very relaxing and a joy to watch without any flashy filter. Just a super talented guy doing cool things in his little workshop. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JJSjy4OciLs

Motion in Art - Film essays similar to some of your other favourites that might be of interest.

Art Deco - Analysis, investigation and explanation of art, including the history and context in which paintings were made, themes and motifs, and details that you almost certainly missed when looking at art as a layperson. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m3hM6Qw8Nf4

Fredrik Knudsen - Making the series Down The Rabbithole, which are dives into a variety of topics, including tech and history. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UCgoxQCf5Jg

Lemmino - Video essays on conspiracies and mysteries, all are very interesting and worth watching. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5u7euN1HTuU

This was such a fun game, not too long, great music and the boss fights were such a cool style. Highly recommend everyone give it a go.

If your smart tv is android based you can try side loading Smart Tube, which integrates ad block, sponsor block and a whole pile of QoL settings you can tweak to suit you.

Interested to see where that data comes from, as looking at the lifetime emissions of an EV vs an ICE vehicle inclusive of fuel EVs are generally significantly lower emissions. If you're only considering the emissions associated with the manufacture of the vehicles, EVs do result in more GHG, but very quickly once both vehicles are actually in use the benefits of EVs become apparent.

I think the world is finally ready for teabag authentication.

I don't think there's magic one size fits all answer to this, it really sucks you have to deal with it. Avoid destructive behaviours like drinking until you pass out etc, they won't help in the long term. Do you have any friends IRL you can call on?
