I can't find where it specifies how the news is "distilled". I assume it's an LLM summarization, given Kagi is in the AI business in other ways, but it would be nice if they could clearly state that. Knowing who or what

I also feel like Android phones stop getting OS updates (including security fixes) much faster than iPhones. You can root them and install a newer version of Android, I guess, but the vast majority of people won't do that. Also, I ha

I live in the US and the cost for unlimited search (which I would need because I do a lot of research) is too expensive for me as well. I was only able to get on by splitting it with a family plan.

I've been using an M1 MBP with 8GB of RAM since 2020 for video editing, Blender, music production, and web development, and it's fine. It's not perfect, but it's totally serviceable and I rarely think about it, which tel

> Apple is too expensive Is it? You can get an M1 MacBook Air at Walmart for $699 now. That's more than many of the bottom-of-the-barrel Windows machines out there, but it's not an unreasonable price at all. It'll keep awa

I've stopped using YouTube directly. This is only for Apple users, but I started using the app Play[1]. It manages my subscriptions, keeps a watch later list (with smart tags and filtering, if you'd like), and you can even play vi

If everything was plain HTML, the web would still be only for academics and a handful of nerds, and most of the people on HN would have to find other jobs.

I know a lot of people will point you to Practical Typography. I reference it a lot myself, and even though I don't agree with everything there, it's a really, really great reference and gets you thinking about the goals of your t

You don't need to jailbreak, there are many eink tablets that will run it via sideloading (Kobos, for example, and I believe Nooks as well) and eink Android devices (like the BOOX line) that can just install it from F-Droid

Flatpak is also a great option for apps you might want to be more up-to-date than Debian provides in their package manager.

There are a handful of decent e-reader apps on iOS right now, and unfortunately a few of the best, like KyBook, are dead and no longer being maintained. Of the available options now, the best two IMO are either Apple's own Books app or

I don't like that it's made by an advertising company, like the other commenter said. But more than that it's that it's wildly unpolished and inconsistent. OEMs and carriers shove in their own apps (Samsung is especially

I don't think this is true. Apple could drop smart watch support entirely and I still wouldn't use an Android phone. I personally find the user experience infinitely better on iOS than on Android, and Apple would have to drop the

If it's for reading only, it's fine, but if you plan on doing a lot of writing and markup, skip it. The handwriting features are very limited, and you can't write on the actual pages or write margin notes at all, you can only

Apple Pages as well. It has a web-based cloud version, and it's free. I haven't used it enough to speak on the quality, though.

I haven't had a chance to sit down with this simulator, but having used both Decker and HyperCard before, Decker has a much steeper learning curve for a beginner.

Still no swipe to change tabs on iOS, which makes it a non-starter on that platform for me, and a browser I can't use on every device can't be my primary browser. Bummer, because I really want to use Firefox.

Kate is such an impressive editor, I’m glad that it’s being worked on and ported to other operating systems, and I didn’t know it had LSP support now! Good to see! If anything happens to BBEdit, Kate may be my next move

If Java had won, we'd be complaining about Java instead of web technologies. It doesn't ultimately matter, when you have a platform as large as the web is, it's going to be complicated and bloated.

Having such specific limits is exactly the point of PICO-8 though. If I wanted a variety of options, I’d be using a more traditional engine or library.

I’ve used it for game dev stuff with HaxeFlixel, but trying to do anything more than that ended up being a pain. The community around it seems to have mostly moved on: a lot of libraries are unsupported or haven’t been updated in years and
