A lot of hackers do this. One thing I noticed: I get a flood of e-mail on 1st Jan with special offers and companies pretending to 'care' it's your birthday when it's all automated drivel.

Two things I read:

https://sumi.news/

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events

Just for a quick sweep.

Then I open Twitter/X and browse to my local news site.

This takes at most 5 minutes to skim world (and local) events and catch up.

This is what I use. You need to browse YT to get the relevant URLs you want to download, so YT will still be in the mix. Unless you source the URLs another way?

Weird that Win11 needs absurd hardware requirements but still has an Arm edition.

I manually do this at the end of the year. I mostly discover neat URLs on desktop and have a bookmarklet that adds things to Pinboard. I also store stuff locally in my browser's bookmark manager. I never tag anything, and prefer to export everything to a HTML file, then proceed to convert all the URLs into a text-only list, and roughly organize things. I have categories like:

    Useful
    Tech
    News
    How-Tos
    Blogpost
    Whimsical
    Software
    To-Buy
    SaaS
    Programming
    etc

Yeah it omits things like 'Top 10', and words like 'Introducing'. I just add the words back in an edit.

Let's see how many start startups

And I forgot Liberapay: https://liberapay.com/

Probably includes metadata like favicon encoded in base64

Firefox used to have an extension to make the address bar bigger, but it's now defunct. It was located here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/make-address-...

I used to love that addon, but I learned to pay attention to the small text now, without this addon. There are probably ways to make it bigger by messing with the browser's 'chrome'.

A few alternatives for micro donations that people have mentioned:

Any others, let me know

Some things cost more depending on their situational advantage. For example a run-down Jeep sitting in a garage and thought of as 'worthless' would be worth a fortune at a Jeep fair and seen as a collectible.
