    Yeah, I found that part odd too. Also, you can found a GmbH and only pay in 50% of the €25k. My understanding is that you're still personally liable for the rest, but it lowers the…

    There seems to be a $1 minimum charge on all accounts, regardless of whether or not you use them[1] [1] https://bunny.net/pricing/#:~:text=%241%20monthly%20minimum

    Exactly that. I also think of reading self-help books (or management books) as giving myself time to engage with the subject. Even if there is no groundbreaking new information, it…

    Reading this makes me want to fire up Processing [1] again. I remember spending hours and days with it in my early twenties. The immediacy of writing a few simple commands, hitting…

    digiKam[1] might be for you. I only tried it briefly, but I think it covers most of the requirements out outlined. I personally landed on Peakto[2], since it has the unique ability…

    There's a Firefox extension (also available for Chrome) that turns off automatic translations and dubbing [1] Moments like these really make me appreciate the customizability of th…

    When I built my little side project (B2C iPhone app, not a SaaS [1]), I documented the development process on LinkedIn with short "developer diary" videos. That has led to a good a…

    Unfortunately, the model download keeps failing for me. That being said, it looks promising and I love how simple the setup looks.

    I feel like there are actually more great options out there today than back in the pre-subscription days of Adobe. It all depends on what parts of Photoshop you're actually using, …

    Thanks for mentioning bangs! I'm having the same issue as in the parent comment and didn't realize you could use bangs to set the location. Still not an ideal solution for me, beca…

    Yes, there's stuff like this: https://shop.fjorden.co No idea how well it works in practice, but it looks like it could alleviate some of the ergonomics issues.

    In the “just point at something and press the shutter” scenario, phones have been just as good (and in some cases better) than dedicated cameras for a while. For me, the main reaso…

    I noticed that there's a huge difference between receiving criticism on something that is work in progress versus something I consider being "done". When something is still a work …

    Your comment made me smile because I experienced the exact opposite just two days ago. I usually get around either by bike or public transit, but I had to move some inconveniently …

    Hm, maybe it has something to do with your location? I'm in Germany and the pricing is in Euros for me.

    Looks cool, thanks for the tip! I’m glad that there are more and more such simple, single-purpose tools now. It took me a long time to learn this, but I’m now actively staying away…

    Long time user of Rectangle here. It is definitely one of my top 3 utility apps on the Mac. I have the num pad keys set up to move windows to various edges and corners of the scree…

    I wonder if Google realized that Analytics has become unfathomably complex for non-power users and wants a clean break now. I run a side business[1] that is lucky to not be depende…

    Like every method that gets condensed to an acronym, MVP has been used to justify lots of bad decisions. For example, I worked in very engineering-driven environments where “viable…

    Mozilla collects a limited set of aggregate data by default, but it can be opted out. Users can also opt in to send a more extensive data set (also aggregate AFAIK), but that's not…

    Hi, I'm one of the people who worked on this and I wanted to provide a little background and a few clarifications. Lightspeed is currently not a product. It's a collection of sketc…

    You can create patches that change the interface and/or propose UI changes. They will go through an additional ui-review though. Sometimes the result will be that writing an add-on…
