more important than a proxy is having an alternative to google because it is crazy how much they censor search results. just add brave search as a secondary.

I thought about doing that as well. Currently I use Doppler but I wanted to add meta data from Wikipedia to create an experience similar to what Roon offers. It should also have more automation like auto-generated daily playlists and the li

I read the announcement ages ago. This is it now? Something everyone can replicate with html in less than 5 minutes? Edit: and of course it's subscription-based.

The question I am most interested in is: How do people even get funding (or in other words: Who gets funding) I'd assume it's 'references', i.e. which school you went to, which university you went you, who you know/

Catering to these types of hardcore fans makes any progress basically impossible. This dude writes a PhD thesis, because the top bar became like 5 pixels bigger some 40 versions ago.

Justifying their behaviour with 'addiction' makes them completely unresponsible for their actions. If that's the case you'd have to declare them incompetent for doing business and assign them an agent.

The money is obviously of better use in the hands of others. No harm done here.

GIMP was a horrible outdated experience for me >15 years ago and I assume it hasn't gotten any better.

The problem I have with 16GB as a upgrade is that the base model is widely available and often on sale. 16GB does exist as preconfigured option, but it is a lot harder to come by. It's mainly sold as BTO, which means you have to pay fu

Very interesting point. The other type is people who think they'll be on top after a society-breaking external event. It's a very bitter and passive attitude. Something to hold on to for the ones who don't have the power to d

The bean counter is not enforcing strategies that make him less money overall, that's certain.

Typical Tim Cook strategy. I mean, who am I to judge Tim Cook. I assume in-app purchases work similarly to in-game purchases, meaning a very small amount of customers contribute the vast amount to revenue. One reason I believe this is that

I think there is a misconception what 'advising' means. Seems to be like a marketing term that consultancies came up with to describe their work. I'd argue consultancy don't need a lot of expertise. They don't advis

I do the same thing. Reeder even has some adblock magic. In Firefox I use Unhook to just allow search. I do admit, however, that I barely find anything new anymore now that everything's blocked. Have to figure out new ways to find insp
