Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.

The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.

A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The small bar beside a date shows how dated the recommendation is for its kind of thing: hardware and software age in a few years, books hardly at all. Green is fresh, grey is dated, striped means the date is an estimate. Hardware and software read as dated after about four or five years, books after twenty-five.
