There are two: dang and tomhow.

Porkbun. Been using them for years and I'm fairly happy with them.

I’m happy with Porkbun.

This is an incredibly weird view to me. If I borrow a hammer from my neighbor, although I don’t own the hammer, it doesn’t suddenly make the hammer not a tool. Associating a tool with the concept of ownership feels like an odd argument to make.

Maybe I am misunderstanding something here but I’ve seen ads for at least two different companies aimed specifically at this problem. Never used them so I don’t know if it’s a one click resolution or not but the surfacing subscriptions you’re paying for and aren’t aware of is the main part of their advertising.

I watch almost everything on my computer or smartphone but we have young kids at home and the TV is constantly streaming Youtube content throughout the day. By that measure, it clocks more watch time than anything I would stream on my devices.

Eric Barone as a one man team built, designed, animated, wrote, and composed the entire game of Stardew Valley by himself.

The game sold over 30 million copies and had an all time high of over 230K concurrent players at one point earlier this year.

I use to be huge into listening to music in the 90s. Gradually at the turn of the century, I practically stopped and almost never listen to music these days.

I can't speak for others but for me it was a couple of things... When working, I zone out quite a bit to the point that it's like not hearing music anyway so what's the point. If anything music can be distracting. Unfortunately unlike others, I prefer absence of sound aside from stuff like keyboard typing when I'm working.

Outside of work related stuff, I gradually faded out listening to music altogether in the car or while running as well. I generally prefer instead to ride in silence thinking (zoning out again) or if I listen to stuff, stand up comedy somehow became a thing to replace music

Edit: It is worth noting most of my music exposure these days if at all (and if you can call it that) is coming across stuff on YouTube or while watching a movie and music enhances the film lol. It did a major 180 in my life.
