I'm in the exact same boat. I already gave Apple a bunch of money for something with a hinge this summer, and it's a Mac that can actually run a terminal, a proper desktop browser, or even something wacky like x86 games through a

Throwing another answer in for Instapaper. It’s not as new and flashy as something like Readwise or Matter, but also doesn’t try to do too much. Killer features of Instapaper for me include the kindle digest and IFTTT integration (which I u

I read the book. It’s something that comes up & happens multiple times, and the potential meetings being described are with various global heads of state .

While her boss continues to sexually harass her? Doesn’t sound like a mistake to me. There’s more to life than money, as the author makes quite clear throughout the book, IMO.

Bazqux Reader for the actual service, “Reeder” on both macOS and iOS for the client I use.

I tried WriteFreely (and some of their other stuff) a year or so ago, but found it to be a little too limited for what I was trying to achieve with my personal sites (as a layman/non-web-dev). Ended up using https://Blot.i

Looks great! I have a Boox tablet from a few years ago that I'm still using sporadically, and can't quite justify replacing yet, but if I was in the market this would be very, very appealing. Congrats to the team on the launch! :)

I recently migrated my own static Hugo blog onto Blot, and I just about couldn’t be happier with it. I’m not versed in web development, but Blot’s developer (David) seems to have a great goal in mind & similar enough priorities to what

I guess my point is that I think even Apple likely has different policies or talking points around this now as opposed to a decade ago. Probably some more and some less troublesome than what's shown here.

Title could probably use a “2013”

I've seen a few folks here doubting that Google would actually follow through with this (which I think is a valid concern with their track record), but I'm more curious about if the hardware would hold up to 10 years of updates.

Seems cool! I saved a link that looked interesting to me and bookmarked the top-level "About" page so I can spend some more time browsing around sometime soon. Thanks for making something focused on reading & the small web. :)

I was somehow hoping this would be an AI-powered version of the “Worms:” video games. Bummer.

It just feels nicer to use. Not more functional to use, but it does feel different to your fingertip. Like the author mentions, it's not a dealbreaker, but is a calling-card of this particular machine's build/materials&#x2F

I’d love to see how OpenAI’s overbuilt autocorrect would serve as a moderator in practice. Delightful chaos.

And I’m sure you’ll be able to pay for games & apps using a totally anonymous payment method, right?

Probably not at the process sizes or quantities Apple's buying up anytime soon, though.

"Steve was a champion of usable technology – even sexy technology. Intuitive on the outside and extensible and cool engineering on the inside. " There's still some examples of this in Apple current products and OSes, but I wo

An excellent YouTube channel, and some excellent cursors —- I’ve used them on all my Windows machines after having found this video last year. Thanks, Posy!

On the flip-side to what’s described in this article (companies posting listings for jobs that don’t exist), our company doesn’t hire often and has incessant issues with bots picking up & re-hosting our old job listings from years pri
