Waystops ( https://www.waystops.com ), a map-based travel app for working out what destinations exist and which are actually worth visiting. Google Maps is great for route planning and looking up things you already know about, but

Author of said extension here. I've been getting some reports of this happening in a few countries, namely Australia and the US so far. See https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect/issu... .

You don't need to do any of that to sign and notarize an app that you are distributing yourself.

Well, depending on the type of beer, that's intentional. It's not always the faux-pas that it would be to do this when serving cask ale in the UK.

This looks super fun, actually. I wonder what it is actually building. Tauri apps, maybe?

I've been using Synology Drive to sync Obsidian between different machines and my android phone and it works great. I've never seen a need to use the official sync.

No, fortunately in my case it's not tempting at all. It's easy to see how many people in less advantaged positions would end up selling out, though.

I was just having a quick search and the only email I can find that offered a price range up front was for $0.1-0.4 per user, and that was from 2023. So I assume up to a dollar per user these days?

I have published an extension [1] that has 100k+ users and I've probably received hundreds of emails over the years asking me to sell out in one way or another. It's honestly relentless. For that reason I also only trust uBlock Or

This is cool - I actually worked on something similar way back in the day: https://github.com/tom-james-watson/wtp-ext . It avoided the need to have any kind of intermediary website entirely. The cool thing was it worke

I tried it out this morning and it felt really rough, unfortunately. It was super slow (thought I think that applies to CLI Codex too), it wasn't outputting any text explaining what it was trying to achieve, and it started off down a p

I also received the same phishing email and I only have packages with a few thousand downloads per week.

I actually also received this phishing email, also read it while half-asleep after a 6 week break and clicked on it. Luckily I was saved by exactly this - no password suggestion made me double check the domain.

There oddly seems to be a concerted effort online to paint the UK as some kind of failing police state recently. This narrative seems to have really taken off with some Americans, who now seem completely convinced that the UK government is

For me this crashed in android webview, android chrome, and android firefox. Impressive.

I actually did the same video on desktop and the same answers worked fine! Screenshots of it failing in an android webview, but passing on desktop firefox: https://imgur.com/a/vALlFdH .

Really cool idea! I tried a few Spanish ones (I speak Spanish) and unfortunately it was marking things as incorrectly wrong on 2/5 videos I did!

I did the same too, but by ingesting Wikipedia's current event portal. The result is a decent balance of world events, but without the sensationalism. https://detoxed.news/ https://github.com/tom-james-

I'm glad I stuck with Firefox. At least you know it's not going to be abandoned.

I can't find specific policy positions for Volt on encryption, but they're very positive about open source [1], so you'd imagine they'd have a pretty reasonable approach to encryption too. [1] https://volteuro

There's nothing green about chopping down forests for energy - biomass being called carbon neutral is one of the greenwashing scams of the century. Whether burned forests are ever regenerated at all is something that I'm incredibl

Who do you think is using renewable power that is not connected to a grid? Poor off-grid communities are pretty much exclusively burning fossil fuels or biomass for primary energy, which are most certainly not carbon-neutral or good for the

Not just you - if you never leave Home then basically works exactly the same as it ever has. I don't mind it at all, and can understand how for massive companies it makes things a little more manageable.
