If you don’t do anything except use it like Google, then you only get improved search results. But the other features like lenses, site ranking, URL rewriting, question mark instant answers, and document Q/A make it way more worth it to me.

Unfortunately, I bet these guys don’t care. I used to work at a company you might have products from and I would constantly hear “Hey, we’re a business” as an excuse to degrade the user experience. :(

What’s a webradio? https://www.funkwhale.audio/ seems like a music app? Hmm… Seems interesting.

I was wondering the same thing. It seems more proper to run a separate government Mastodon server. Otherwise, they’re showing preferential treatment to one company.

Although… they probably can’t handle self hosting? But really? The all mighty US can’t self host a server?

For Discord like communities, I’d also suggest using Element as the Matrix client. It’s pretty similar to Discord. Also, you’ll need support for “spaces”, which are like Discord servers. Rooms = channels

The point of calling something is fad is a way to tell you that you shouldn’t invest a lot of time into this because that knowledge will become obsolete soon.

I mean this is particularly relevant in the JS world because every week there’s a new revolutionary framework that renders the previous framework obsolete. (Although, not sure if that’s slowing down now…)

I have a WebOS TV and I absolutely hate how slow it is. Turning on takes a long time. Selecting apps takes a long time. Flipping channels takes a long time. Did we forget how fast TVs from the 90s were??

I second the Supernote!

I also own a Remarkable, but after they removed features and began charging a subscription to re-enable the existing features, I looked elsewhere.

The Supernote has been great! Way more features than Remarkable. You can sync locally or in the cloud. The pen never needs replacing. I got used to the feel and prefer it over Remarkable’s screen now. Plus the devs are open about their roadmap and regularly listen to feedback. And they have NO subscription!

I recently got a Kia with Android Auto and my Tesla-driving brother is jealous that I can use Google Maps on a big screen, with no extra car mount.

Na, I’m good. I never touch it, except to update my CV before I send it to recruiters. Don’t care for employee influencers.

Nice! I remember my dad having to do this because assholes would steal his tools at work.
