Why not publish this worldwide? Unavailable in the Germany AppStore.

How is a majority vote (of both states and represented population) and a parliamentary vote undemocratic?

Looks pretty! But how is this any different from claude.ai/code (web)?

Arc Browser does that already, also for downloaded files. Looks neat.

I guess it's good to join forces on this. However, I really hope the Texts app on Mac will survive this merge as it is lightyears ahead of the UI insult that Beeper is. I migrated …

I quite like examine.com for a seemingly independent “audit” of health- and supplement-related data. It’s not perfect but the database of knowledge is growing and their business mo…

It’s very hard to get the permission to run diesel generators for anything else than backup power here. And even then, it needs to be timed very precisely to be in line with regula…

Same here, I can't wait for an alternative with actually useful search results and good filters. Search is one product I use often every day but I'm stuck with either privacy-respe…

Sam is doing an awesome job. On an M1 mac, the official dropbox client is a total no-go from a resource usage point of view. Maestral is a lifesaver for me/my memory usage.
