    Gratz on shipping! I've been eyeing Canine for my next Hetzner setup, but the database support on Mist is a nice feature. Looks like I have some experiments to run soon.

    I believe Minuum is the only app I ever paid for on the Play Store, after having followed it since the Kickstarter campaign. It was the only option that made typing on a small touc…

    For the past decade or so my bookmark has been set to /feed/subscriptions and I can only recommend that. The one or two times a year I end up on the front page act as proof it shou…

    The difference between today and the hypothetical case of not one artist making ends meet from their music is what, 0.1%? 0.01%? We would be better off if the other 99.9% didn't ha…

    If you're trying to maximize employment, composers aren't the first, second, or tenth place to go looking. If you're trying to say artists will bleed income, they already have for …

    Not everyone enjoys composing music, and for a large group of people paying an artist is not an option. There's a lot to critizise about current AI tech, saying of all things this …

    Yup. Everything left and right of being an email inbox is a bit iffy, and that makes it feel a bit incomplete at times. Like I said, I like it a lot, and it provides a lot of value…

    Yeah, you're right. Just a hosted inbox alone would be hard to differentiate in the market and I have no answer for that. For hosted email with auxiliary services there is room to …

    I think there could be, sort of. I am currently using Migadu, which works great and I don't plan on leaving. Their selling point is that the amount of domains you add is not limite…

    This about sums it up. Plus donating to Mozilla means your money goes to all sorts of things, but hardly if at all where you want it to.

    I think the main conversation to be had is about incentives. As operators of app stores, Google and Apple have no incentive to remove shovelware, as they earn a healthy share of ev…

    Duckduckgo for navigating around the web (bangs, searching docs, etc.) i.e. I know where I want to end up. Kagi for the rest. Google pretty much only for image search and maps, and…

    The only times I clicked on the picture in picture button in the browser is when I mistook it for the full screen button. I have no idea what I might want to use it for.

    No doubt that my limited understanding of these technologies came with some naive expectations of what's possible and how it should work. Looking into it, and working through it, p…

    For a second I thought this was about a GPT based product hitting a certain valuation, but I'm much more entertained by the actual content. This is great.

    I happen to be using this (present by default on Ubuntu 18 iirc). I'm surprised this makes me a bit of an outlier judging by the comments. EurKEY on a Dell XPS, with the Home/PgUP …
