A good chair for sure. I think this is the most valuable thing you can ask for.

As a Heliboard enthusiast and pretty happy with it, I would like to ask you what you find wrong with it, what you miss from the original ?

It’s indeed noisy, we schedule it to run when we’re not at home.

A bit on the costly stuff but I find the vacuum cleaner robot (not sure it’s called this in English) very useful. The house is cleaner to be vacuumed every day (even if it’s not as efficient as manual vacuuming or cleaning). Especially with pets and children.

Indeed, being Belgian and an adept of the real French fries (double cooked) I was not convinced at all. In the end, I still prefer real fries but I find the air fryer very practical to cook (or warm up quickly - unlike microwave oven it does not make stuff soft) all sort of food.

Coming back to this after a while trying out. Qwant is indeed very nice in Europe at least. I tested it and adopted it, I also like the fact it have a map based on OSM which is nicer than the Apple thing in DDG.

I was born in 1984 :D

I’ve also used Startpage and DuckDuckGo, they all have their strengths

Can you develop? Why do you prefer qwant over ddg for example.

I also dropped Google search mainly for two reason. First privacy, making money with my private data and so on. Then I find Google search is less and less good, the first thing being that sponsored links are first even if they don’t match well the search keywords and even not looking at sponsored links I think the results are much worse than in the past.

I now use duckduckgo and I’m happy with it but I can try something else.

On a user level I agree it’s a very good feature (if configurable, not just an automatic grouping of similarly named communities). For merging post, not sure I want that, perhaps a bit too smart… Now if many users want this why not (as long as there is a setting to turn it off ;)).

Indeed this would really be a game changer feature. However I don’t complain about community fragmentation, I think it’s great because the communities are not really identical but share the same topic, sometimes with different tone, moderation, …

Otherwize there is another (very IMHO) good alternative FOSS gallery: AVES

Please define “normal people”. ;)

I read every night with a kobo e-reader (next to my partner who generally sleep before me). I use night mode and a very dim brightness (2-3 %, the max I use is 4 %). It’s sufficient in my opinion.

Exactly, this makes me very anxious. Feeling that we’re just cutting the branch we are sit on …

Didn’t knew this one, still a fan of osmand but why not give a try

Definitely for osmand+, I think this is one of the best opensource app on Android (and the fact being openstreetmap based is a definitive plus because you can correct the map for benefit of the community).
