+	<description><p>If you browsed my website recently, you would have noticed that I removed all icons. There are many reasons for this change. The TLDR is that my love for quirky icons spiraled into flaming anger whenever I had to align them properly. I will go into more detail in this post.</p>
+<h2 id="clutter">Clutter</h2>
+<p>Icons cluttered my website. No matter how hard I tried, they never looked right on all devices at once. If it was working fine on desktop, it wasn&#39;t on mobile and vice versa. This led to hours trying to adjust the size and position of each icon to make sure they looked good which they never did.</p>
+<h2 id="readability">Readability</h2>
+<p>The last point ties into this one. The removal of icons led to clear lists, text and headings. I did not expect the website to look this much better without icons. This makes the website look consistent.</p>
+<h2 id="easier">Easier</h2>
+<p>Removing icons makes my job a whole lot easier. I don&#39;t have to worry about how an icon will look. I just copy-paste a folder and start typing away.</p>
+<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
+<p>To sum it up, I removed icons because they made my website look cluttered. Without them, my website is more readable and is easier for me to work on.</p>

+	<p>We all have at least one subscription. They lure us with convenience and the overwhelming amount of content. We cannot imagine life without them, but in this article, I am going to show you how you can live without them.</p>
+	<h2 id="monetary-hits">Monetary Hits</h2>
+	<p>Subscriptions are cheap on the face value. <em>"The price of a cup of coffee per month? That sounds like a steal!"</em> However, these are simply traps to get your money. The relative cheapness of subscriptions makes our brains take a mental shortcut to the time we bought our first subscription. This makes it trivial to keep subscribing to new services.</p>

+We all have at least one subscription. They lure us with convenience and
+the overwhelming amount of content. We cannot imagine life without them,
+but in this article, I am going to show you how you can live without

+
+Subscriptions are cheap on the face value. \emph{"The price of a cup of
+coffee per month? That sounds like a steal!"} However, these are simply
+traps to get your money. The relative cheapness of subscriptions makes
+our brains take a mental shortcut to the time we bought our first
+subscription. This makes it trivial to keep subscribing to new services.
+
+Humans are horrible at predicting and planning for the future. You may
+need a subscription now. You predict that you need it in the future. For
+most people, their prediction is wrong. The need for the subscription
+fizzles out, but the cost remains.
+
+Our memory is on par with our planning. We forget that we have a
+subscription and have auto-pay enabled. Most of the time, we do not care
+if companies charge us for one more month because we feel like the
+amount is low anyways.
+
+\hypertarget{time-lost}{%
+\subsection{Time Lost}\label{time-lost}}
+
+The prime merit of subscriptions can also be its negative. The amount of
+content available on video streaming subscriptions like Netflix and
+Amazon Prime Video causes you to spend more time scrolling than actually
+watching content.
+
+Also, have you ever felt the guilt of buying a subscription, only to
+feel like you are not using it enough? How many hours have you wasted on
+random movies and shows just to make it feel like you are getting your
+money\textquotesingle s worth?
+
+\hypertarget{prevention}{%
+\subsection{Prevent, Don\textquotesingle t Cure}\label{prevention}}
+
+If you really need a subscription this month, renew it and cancel it
+immediately. That way, it will stop working the next month. If you need
+it the next month, renew it again and so on. When doing this process,
+really take the time to think if you need the subscription or not.
+Perhaps you subscribed for a month to watch movies with your friends
+during your holidays, which are now over.

+All in all, I don\textquotesingle t like subscription-based products
+which includes SaaS as well. They are massive money and time sinks. You

       <p>...terminal applications should be used as much as possible. They are swift. They can be used quickly and also use less resources and space while running on just about anything. They are not as difficult as they look and can be used for uses which GUI apps do not have. They cannot be used all the time because there are rare exceptions in which GUI applications have to be used. However, these are so little that I do not mind keeping GUI apps just for these use cases.
