Yeah, I found that part odd too. Also, you can found a GmbH and only pay in 50% of the €25k. My understanding is that you're still personally liable for the rest, but it lowers the hurdle to founding a GmbH at least somewhat.

There seems to be a $1 minimum charge on all accounts, regardless of whether or not you use them[1] [1] https://bunny.net/pricing/#:~:text=%241%20monthly%20minimum

Exactly that. I also think of reading self-help books (or management books) as giving myself time to engage with the subject. Even if there is no groundbreaking new information, it gives me time to think about the topic. If you couldn'

Reading this makes me want to fire up Processing [1] again. I remember spending hours and days with it in my early twenties. The immediacy of writing a few simple commands, hitting "Run" and seeing graphical output is still unsurp

digiKam[1] might be for you. I only tried it briefly, but I think it covers most of the requirements out outlined. I personally landed on Peakto[2], since it has the unique ability to create a unified catalog across multiple CaptureOne sess

There's a Firefox extension (also available for Chrome) that turns off automatic translations and dubbing [1] Moments like these really make me appreciate the customizability of the web experience for advanced users. [1] https:/&

When I built my little side project (B2C iPhone app, not a SaaS [1]), I documented the development process on LinkedIn with short "developer diary" videos. That has led to a good amount of engagement at launch, which briefly lifte

Unfortunately, the model download keeps failing for me. That being said, it looks promising and I love how simple the setup looks.

I feel like there are actually more great options out there today than back in the pre-subscription days of Adobe. It all depends on what parts of Photoshop you're actually using, but between Affinity Photo, Pixelmator, Capture One and

Thanks for mentioning bangs! I'm having the same issue as in the parent comment and didn't realize you could use bangs to set the location. Still not an ideal solution for me, because it requires me to plan ahead when typing the q

Yes, there's stuff like this: https://shop.fjorden.co No idea how well it works in practice, but it looks like it could alleviate some of the ergonomics issues.

In the “just point at something and press the shutter” scenario, phones have been just as good (and in some cases better) than dedicated cameras for a while. For me, the main reasons for using a dedicated camera are ergonomics and creative

I noticed that there's a huge difference between receiving criticism on something that is work in progress versus something I consider being "done". When something is still a work in progress in my mind, it is much easier to

Your comment made me smile because I experienced the exact opposite just two days ago. I usually get around either by bike or public transit, but I had to move some inconveniently shaped items (studio lights for photography), so I decided t

Hm, maybe it has something to do with your location? I'm in Germany and the pricing is in Euros for me.

Looks cool, thanks for the tip! I’m glad that there are more and more such simple, single-purpose tools now. It took me a long time to learn this, but I’m now actively staying away from anything that markets itself as “enterprise-ready”. To

Long time user of Rectangle here. It is definitely one of my top 3 utility apps on the Mac. I have the num pad keys set up to move windows to various edges and corners of the screen, which is fantastic on an ultra wide monitor. Somehow neve

I wonder if Google realized that Analytics has become unfathomably complex for non-power users and wants a clean break now. I run a side business[1] that is lucky to not be dependent on search ads. We started using GA 10-ish years ago becau

Like every method that gets condensed to an acronym, MVP has been used to justify lots of bad decisions. For example, I worked in very engineering-driven environments where “viable” meant nothing more than “it compiles”. Especially when com

Mozilla collects a limited set of aggregate data by default, but it can be opted out. Users can also opt in to send a more extensive data set (also aggregate AFAIK), but that's not the default. The screen shot from your preferences sec

Hi, I'm one of the people who worked on this and I wanted to provide a little background and a few clarifications. Lightspeed is currently not a product. It's a collection of sketches and thoughts. It is also NOT the next version

You can create patches that change the interface and/or propose UI changes. They will go through an additional ui-review though. Sometimes the result will be that writing an add-on would be a better fit for a feature or UI change. Also

Pagination -- from a user's perspective -- has nothing todo with computation. To appreciate what pagination does, just imagine a 500 page book. Now imagine having to read it on an ancient scroll. Pages make it easier for our brains to segme

From a user interface perspective, paging has one great benefit. It provides structure, especially to long texts with no images or layout cues. Think of it as an extended version of the paragraph: a tool of composition that gives readers s
