I use it on my Kindle and I love it. I can use better and more dictionaries, the controls are ergonomic and customizable, I can easily override the font so that every ebook looks exactly the same. It supports epub and with it my Kindle is f

Ecosia is a non-profit, so being profitable is not their mission. Each month they publish a breakdown of their expenses and donations. In January they got around 4 million euros, so I’d say they are certainly successful at what they do.

As a stylistic note, it’s funny that philosophy graduates often can’t help but mention that they are one at every opportunity they have, as if that carried a particular a certain intellectual prestige. They do that while perhaps missing the

Sometimes the writing itself is a guide for the mind of the reader, and the indirect path prose can take is part of the message. Not everything has to be written in digestible snippets of text.

While you're definitely right about it having a steep learning curve, it's also true that not many RAW editors do what Darktable does. Darktable aims at serving advanced, tecnically-minded users. It's complicated, but in a wa

Still happens to me when using software that is GPU intensive, like Blender. When I drag a slider, I hear the buzzing of the GPU.

After being a user for a long while, my enthusiasm for Kagi has decreased. Their UI is lovely, but I feel in the end they are just repackaging other indexers. I’ve started using Google + Ublacklist and for me it works the same. I also don’t

There is a certain justice in the use of OpenAI as a name for their product, given that OpenAI has turned the generic technical GPT name into a brand.

Sorry, but I don’t think families who escaped in those times were exactly just innocent property owners.

I wish this worked on Windows too. In general, I'd love to see all those lovely GTK4 apps on Windows, they look so nice.

The two best SDF modelers in existence are MagicaCSG[1] and Adobe Substance Modeler[2]. There are also a few others, like Womp, but those two are the most feature-complete. Blender is also adding them as part of geometry nodes, and there is

I do not understand how a browser can launch in 2024 without caring for privacy. Arc is probably the worst browser ever in this regard, making it mandatory to have an account.

Their interface on top of Chromium is written in Swift, so they're bundling all the stuff that is necessary to make Swift run on Windows, top of of Chromium.

And the fact that humans have feelings does not mean we can’t use them as slaves when needed. See? Ethics are like that: there must be something we give value too, if we want to stop somewhere and build something. In that case, the core val

And RPGs, which have probably gifted some of the best written games ever (Planescape Torment, Fallout 1-2, Disco Elysium).

Some video games have shown you can have incredible writing and narrative in the format (recent ones that stuck with me: Disco Elysium and Outer Wilds). The vast majority of video games, though, and probably the most commercially-successful

But BlueGriffon is discontinued. Today, nothing that is actively maintained fulfills this purpose, except from SeaMonkey Composer. I wish there was a WYSIWYG editor that has CSS support and modern HTML.

Obviously, this is about creating the infrastructure for a continent-wide surveillance program, using children pornography as a troy horse. The problem is that EU institutions are so far and detached from the member states that most citizen

I’d love to see more about the artworks the author shares at the end. The idea of creating renders of realities where light works differently from ours is fascinating.

Meh, Perplexity is just GPT/Claude/Gemini with a mediocre web search attached to it. The latest rumours about them adding ads to their search and the fact that they are VC-funded do not prospect such a bright future for it.

I personally haven’t lost faith, because search is still the best out there. I’m really happy with it, no complaints and I’m not planning on cancelling. Speaking about their whole business, I think three things left me a negative impression

It was a good idea to put a yellow balloon as the main subject and make it the only colored bit of the video, so that the eye focuses on it and not on the horribly deformed backgrounds that violate Euclidean space in just so many ways.
