It’s been a week or two now since the top-right menu buttons stopped working for me. I can use the one to select between “Local”, “Subscribed”, and “All”, but the buttons for the sort/time and the three-dots button don’t do anything anymore. Has anyone else been having this problem? (And if so, have you found a...

And DuckDuckGo lacks basic stuff such as keyword exclusion. (It’s my main search engine for the last few years after Startpage got bought, but lacking keyword exclusion sucks!)
I use both Windows and Linux. Despite the “user-centric” experience MacOS only annoys me. I wonder if it’s Apple’s autism (do stuff our way) clashing with mine.
Half the podcasts in my queue have suddenly become paid subscriptions. Meanwhile the overall industry is losing listeners. Seems like a lousy business model to not offer a free with ads feed. What a bizarre trend....
Same, but I’ve never bought an old car either, or gotten a drivers license. But I’m in the Netherlands and the times I truely need a car are negligible.

Running a Fairphone 4 with IodéOS (another de-Googled privacy focused Android) for close to two years now and I agree that it’s a capable phone which doesn’t limit myself in any way.
As you mentioned the biggest downside is the camera, which apparently has something to do with the firmware.
Edit: regarding the headphone situation: I’m using Austrian Audio (=former AKG engineering team) Hi-X25BT headphones, which are noticeably better than pods or cheap headphones and have been running well over a year now. They come with both (mini-)jack to USB-C and USB-C to USB-C cables, but I haven’t tried the latter yet.
Clue? I’d argue it’s been replaced by derivatives such as “13 Clues” (mix between Clue(do) and “Guess who?”) and “Awkward Guests” (Clue with a lot more options and less luck).
I think the most common answer is going to be Tears of the Kingdom, and that is one for me that stands out for sure, but I will try to add some more unique inputs as well. Many are games that came out longer than a year ago, but i didnt get around to playing until more recently....
What an odd article and what odd choices. “Among us” against Dead of Winter, the latter game is much more involved than the former and a comparison with any of the werewolf games would be more appropriate. (Although one could argue on if they’re “better”.)
“Dead by Daylight” and “Betrayal at the House on the Hill” is also odd, also because the former has a more clearly defined ruleset than the latter (don’t get me wrong: I love Betrayal, but it’s more of a shared experience than a game).
