> GTK4 / libadwaita frontend Nice! Looks good. I prefer GTK UI/UX over Qt. Looking forward to seeing the development progress on that.

Massive congratulations to the team and the community. Thanks for the solid product. It's fast and native on Linux with Wayland. I don't use any of the AI stuff, though, so I'm glad there is a switch to disable it.

I know gitea / forgejo will be a popular suggestion, either self-hosted or via something like Codeberg. Despite also being a GitHub user since 2010 and also "doomscrolling" issues for projects I am involved in, I do host a gi

I highly recommend using an email alias service. The author mentions SimpleLogin. I've been using Firefox Relay for a few years and it's great!

I'm not an MkDocs user yet but I've been meaning to be for years! It's unfortunate to hear about the issues with project leadership. Why bring the drama about gender into this?! It should be closed as off topic.

For local music it's my preferred client as well. I've set mine up to resemble the old iTunes interface, with three panes: artist (left), album (right), and song (bottom), and explicitly configured it to use album artists instead

It comes from жици in Bulgarian, which means "wires". I think the author should remove that part of the blog post because it detracts from the author's point and is even a bit embarrassing that they hadn't looked it up.

You guys had tech writers? I write everything myself—from the code to the reports to the policies to the deployment scripts. Well at least I also get to write the firewall rules myself! Sigh...

Love to see it. I've been a paying Kagi member for three years (!), and for now I trust them more than Google, but I echo the other users' concerns that to switch to this long term I'd want it to be open source.

For technical users who are in the know, yes. I would not recommend Brave to less-technical friends and family knowing that they would surely be duped by some dark patterns in Brave's UI/UX. Even Firefox, which is the best we have

I don't see any ads on Firefox (Android) with uBlock Origin. That site seems horrible though. Random words in the body like reddit are hyperlinks to SEO landing pages on the same site. And there must be a better (original) source for

Thanks. I didn't realize Dan Carlin was still producing new episodes. Ten years ago I was enthralled by his series on the Persian Empire and then I forgot about him. Fall of Civilizations is excellent too.

I saw one Warren Buffett video where the voice was Buffet's and he said "in this video I will show you...". Most videos featuring Buffet's voice are snippets from actual interviews etc, but this one threw me off. I stopp

Right, as I read that I also thought, "Wait a sec, do they have the user's browsing data?" They should say "Your browsing data is local and we don't even have it!" instead.

Sounds fast. Does it respect `robots.txt`? My web services are not written in Rust, Zig, or Go. :)

The Thunderbird blog post also mentions they are looking to support the Microsoft Graph. More limiting is that the current release doesn't support custom Office365 tenant IDs. So basically, unless you are using outlook.com this won&#x2
