For those using Windows, did you leave enable or disable the News and Interests taskbar section?

What do you watch when you're looking for some calm, some escapism, or to just have your mind dealing with "a simpler drama"?

Thank you to those who have worked their asses off to bring the vaccine to the masses. Thank you to those who have worked tirelessly to give help to those who need it. Thank you to those who've done their part during the pandemic in adhering to the public health guidelines.

I am grateful that we have the opportunity to move closer and closer to a life of liberty and normalcy and I look forward to the progress we'll continue to make in the future.

THANK YOU!

Someone slipped up during the podcast I was listening to and said "App Star" instead of "App Store" and I just keep trying to figure out what the App Store's Thermal Exhaust Port is

The Apple Ecosystem Envy is strong right now...

Bo Burnham's songs from his INSIDE special are now available on Tidal and Spotify! :D highly suggest listening to Welcome to the Internet, White Woman's Instagram, and All Eyes on Me. 30 is another runner up for best

Clarification: Chrome and FF tab groups don't sync across devices, nor can you save them for coming back to them later

Though I seem to remember something on Firefox that did something similar 🤔

I legitimately thought that Safari's new Tab Groups feature was old news. It turns out that it's not and that built-in, neither FF nor Chrome have this feature

PSA: don't pay for iCloud+ just to get Privacy Relay or whatever they were calling it. It's basically a less secure version of Tor 🤷

Do you check the rumours of the announcement events prior to watching?

Not feeling well, feeling depressed. Feeling like I want to do everything but also have no willingness to do anything at all. "Welcome to my life my partner says", idk how to feel

When every moment of excitement has to be tempered with the thought that things could all go back to being locked down...it's depressing

Some protesters here in Montreal talking about fire Fauci during lockdown protests(which are transpiring as the province is legitimately opening up). Like...the idiocy is just astounding.

*me looking for my phone*

Oh...it's in my hand.

Oh my god it's a fucking cryptocurrency for fuck's sake!
