Precisely. Ad and user data supported products will always balance making their users happy, with making their paying customers happy.

If you’re looking for a new search engine, I’ve been using paid search provider, Kagi.com, for the last few months. They’ve been great.

Thanks for answering my question. This makes sense.

So why work there in the first place? Why bother with a strike? Quit and work some place with better conditions.

How about the other way around. Is there a cheat sheet for NT people to interpret emotions of autistic people? How do emotions feel to autistic people?

What does this even mean?

This is sweet. Now I can upgrade my old Mac! How have I never heard of this before?

Sublime is quite nice. It’s fast and lean, but also supports LSP plugins, so you get the same language tools as VSCode. I’m also trying out https://Zed.dev. It’s similarly lightweight, but has a lot more built in (with no plugin support). It’s still in beta though, and a little rough around the edges.

I didn’t think that book lived up to the hype. But maybe I just didn’t get it.

The only Matter devices I’ve seen so far don’t support Thread, but work over WiFi.

Cool. I didn’t realize Thread was it’s own radio standard, and separate from Bluetooth. Makes sense!

With Cloudflare as the registrar, you can’t change the name server for the root domain. It locks you in to Cloudflare’s NS.

Sorry! I created the reply on MacOS and provided MacOS links. I didn’t realize the iOS apps are different. But they do exist!

Tangential question for people browsing this post: would you recommend a different Linux distribution over Debian and Ubuntu for OP? If so, which one and why?

Studies say creatine supplementation can help reduce the impacts of sleep deprivation. There are also some mushrooms that you can get in supplement form that help get your brain working.

Sure, if there’s a free trial (Kagi has one). Though if it’s from you, probably not 😉

Fair. By similar logic, don’t discredit the whole paid ecosystem, when you’re used to getting something for free. Kagi has no ads, no trackers, and listens to their users. Their search results and feature set is better than DDG.

What, to try things before you dismiss them as dumb?
