Counterpoint: I use NewPipe pretty much daily for watching YouTube. One day, YT introduced an API change that broke NewPipe, and so I patiently waited for an update.
A few days passed, and I eventually get a notification from NewPipe prompting for an update. But I can't install it just yet, because of mismatching signatures between the F-Droid and GitHub versions (yes, that's the point, I know...). The F-Droid build took so long to release, that in the meantime, another version of NewPipe came out...

Answer in Progress on YouTube has a cool video on memory tricks and memorizing Pi [1], worth a watch.
[1] i memorized 3,141 digits of pi to prove a point (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAjkicwrD4I)
Edit: I had only skimmed through the OP when I posted this comment, turns out both the video and this article talk about the memory palace method! They diverge in the way it's applied though, with the AiP video associating digits with real life locations

Are you maybe thinking of Google Voice[1]?

I feel you about the frontends being buggy. Right now I've settled with Droid-ify[1] for doing my F-Droid browsing.

Having a bit of a cultural shock at how English doesn't have a separate name for the "cruder" graffiti (such as tags) vs the more socially accepted street art. The former is typically called "pichação" [1] in Portuguese, and I was taught this distinction when learning about modern art movements back in elementary school.
[1] https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picha%C3%A7%C3%A3o - I recommend looking into a machine translated version of the Portuguese Wikipedia article, as the English Wikipedia article reads far more biased

There was actually an unauthorized third-party CD-ROM drive for it, the Bung Doctor V64[1]. It didn't actually expand the available ROM space beyond what was possible with cartidges, but its still interesting in that it was allegedly used by licensed Nintendo devs as a lower-cost alternative to the devkits officially provided to them.

Sadly, not anymore - TecToy lost the Sega license a few years ago. In the later years, they were simply rebranding AtGames plug-and-plays with the Atari and Sega licenses; and more recently, they did a half-assed attempt at launching a rebranded Ayn Loki in response to the handheld PC boom[0]. They don't do much in the gaming business anymore, instead focusing in the smart appliances and credit card readers for businesses.

From the Github README:
animalese.js is a JavaScript library that synthesizes an approximation of the villager speech sounds from Animal Crossing.Comment · 1 year ago
Japanese and Spanish happen to have very similar pronounciation. It's a neat detail in the Animal Crossing games that seems to have gotten mostly lost in translation for the English version.
