I degoogled to Proton mail initially. I didn’t like that I couldn’t search my emails (a security thing or something? But annoying) and then their Drive was absolutely useless on macos. I had about 100gb and it couldn’t sync even half of it.

After much help from support I eventually moved away to a combo of Fastmail, Mega and OnlyOffice.

All of these AI prompts sound like begging. We’re begging computers to do things for us now.

How do you become a beta reader?

I read through all of them a couple of years ago, he’s one of my favourite writers and all the books are pretty good. They jump around a lot and try different things which keep it interesting, from what I remember.

I read Sleep recently, it’s really good!

Currently reading A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine. There’s also a first book called A Memory Called Empire and both are very good.

What if I don’t use Assistant? Does it still have access to other parts of my phone?

All good! The laptop I was using Linux on I installed batocera on instead 😊

Maybe, but I’m not a huge Linux user and every time I dip my toe in I run out of tinkering time. Plus I had the Air laying around and it all installed so easily.

Just to be controversial, macos. It’s nothing fancy, just the arrs and Jellyfin running on an old MacBook air.

I’m not USA, I can never be 100% sure.

They want a tip at self-serve? That’s ridiculous!

I picked up from their response that they’re just using the public API, not in any kind of partnership?

I keep hearing about Kagi, are they reputable? I moved from Google to DDG and I do a fair bit of searching so I would be interested, but I guess there’s a bit of a one-company-knowing-my-search-history going on (totally unironically).

I haven’t heard of this before, but why is a reader a threat to a company? What’s the issue?

Nirajisms

Ew.

I use NewPipe, it’s a nice alternative but then I’m not a heavy YouTube user. How are they able to make it? I’m surprised YouTube would allow an app like this to exist.

They should remake the 1989 version

Is federated feed the same as All?

Ah got it
