  If you don’t have a particularly large collection, use yt-dl to get audio files and store them locally on your devices (or possibly on an SD card if your phone still supports one)

  I like Mini Motorways in creative mode for this purpose. You design road systems to connect houses with businesses using limited resources. The music is very peaceful and the pastel colours are very pleasant on the eye. While the other modes are a bit more stressful, creative mode is like a simplified city builder.

  And of course the perennial favourite, Stardew Valley.

  If anyone needs a more comprehensive explanation:

  • This comic became a popular meme many years ago
  • Those memes evolved to include overly simplified illustrations, like depicting the characters in each panel as lines like I Iı II I_
  • That last panel simplified looks kind of like the letter L
  • L in Roman numerals is 50
  • Turning back into digits, you get 1 2 2 50

  Yup, using the bang !w anywhere within the search

  That’s something I’d like to find too. I’ve been using Textra Pro for years, but I have yet to find a FOSS alternative that rivals it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which Browser Should I Use In 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not OP, but two issues I’ve encountered:

  • No DRM means some streaming sites don’t work. But I can easily hop over to another browser for that
  • There is no global zoom to increase webpage size on all websites. This can be resolved by installing an extension

  Otherwise, Zen has been amazing. I fully switched from Firefox 5 months ago, no regrets

  I’ve known people who have taken the subway/metro to get between classes on the same campus, so this is still plausible

  It’d be interesting to see some more countries use the same lyricist who pegged the words of the anthems of Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, San Marino, and Spain
