I use it for pretty much everything I care about that's posted online. I selfhost RSSHub to get updates from sites that don't provide RSS. It's much more convenient to have a universal inbox that's under my control than have to remind myself to manually check dozens of browser tabs, all with their own algorithmic "for you" feeds. barf.

    I don't play games to beat records. I play them to relax after work.

    If I die a hundred times, its a lot easier to switch to a game that's at the difficulty I'm willing to engage with. Sure, I can manually tweak the difficulty to make it easier, that can help, but when I do that it's too easy to score an own goal. Once you start cheating, you fall into the trap of making the game too easy or boring. Nine times out of 10, it's so much easier to just switch to a different game. And the fact that my backlog is astronomical in size doesn't help.

    I do use save states out of convenience, though. Sometimes the save point is too far away and life just gets in the way.

    I use Gmail at my workplace. They can go right ahead and use my emails that I check using Thunderbird to send me targeted ads if I ever use their search engine (I use DuckDuckGo).

    Those RSS feeds have been so heavily rate-limited over the past year that they were practically unusable already. I'm glad they're finally making an announcement about it. No more ambiguity. No more aggressively sporadic 403 and 429 errors.

    Go ahead and kill the only reason I ever used your site.
