Starting May 17, 2022, we [Flickr] will begin removing non-public content in violation of Flickr’s new free account limit policies. This applies to Free accounts with more than 50 non-public photos (private, friends, family, or friends and

Personally I find that you did a great job with Kagi. I agree that the incentives are important, and I hope that Kagi will be successful and may prove that a different business model is possible. I'm also inclined to trust Kagi, but th

How is kagi more private? It requires an account to use, and it’s going to be a paid service. So it always has a strong user ID associated with every query. Whether it is not stored and not processed cannot be verified. It’s the same story

I find it hilarious that on Windows there are commands using Windows style options (ipconfig, robocopy) and Unix style options (netstat, tracert). That's probably part of the POSIX compliance. So the list of possible help options to tr

A lesson to learn from this story: don’t use Vimeo if video is your business.

And the only way Russian people may get information and organise is online. So let’s disrupt operations of whatever Russian web remains accessible. Watching more propaganda TV should help. Everyone should respect government imposed sanction

On the other hand, even his Minister of Defense in times of war speaks to him from 10 or 15 meters away. Putin is paranoid and only select few ever come close to him. He had 23 years to select the most loyal people. I bet Putin did consider

And if people are writing actual product reviews, where do they publish them now, given that blogs are dead and social networks are a black hole?

I usually convert PDF to raster and draw over. White or light gray box overlay will save ink/toner for everyone and is just as opaque as a black box. I still do pixelize with huge pixel size when information is not that important. I th

Just so we’re clear, I don’t consider neither Neil Young nor hundreds of medical professionals to be idiots. I read the open letter too, and formed an opinion about what kind of podcast is Joe Rogan’s. So at this point what matters is that

I’m the opposite. I paid for Spotify subscription long before Joe Rogan deal, and never listened to any of his podcasts. I learned that they’re controversial after Neil Young was pulled from Spotify. I guess the message was delivered, and I

ZOHO mail works for me. The entry level premium account is €0.9/user/month. Free tier is reasonable too (up to 5 users). I find their web UI a bit overloaded with features, but they have all check boxes crossed.

I'd say that a year or a year + 3 months is a reasonable transition period. People need to assess the situation, evaluate existing solutions (including paying for the service), what needs to be done, etc. They're not doing it as t
