disclaimer: I'm not a shill for Fastmail, just a happy (family plan) user after Gmail did me the favor of changing pricing and having me look around for alternatives. $10/month is surprisingly high for temp-mail.org's servi

Oh, agree. For the harsher cleaners I just try to buy large containers of concentrated cleaner from the local hardware store if possible. But for the spray around the house stuff, these types of cleaners are a big step forward from buying

Another great option, the Garmin's Vivoactive line (and some other models) isn't e-ink, it's a transflective LCD(? they call it Memory-In-Pixels (MIP)), that's always on. It's a great display that's usable in a

The heavily advertised commercial refill options want to lock you into their system, so they sell refills made of plastic that only fit into their bottles. It's just pandering to a certain crowd without really helping the problem. If y

LabCorp and Quest both have their own products for this, too: https://www.ondemand.labcorp.com/ https://questdirect.questdiagnostics.com/ Which are just a wrapper for asking one of their in-house doctors to

Another anecdote - I switched earlier this year (prompted because of the ending of my grandfathered Gapps account, but my experiences are largely with the "standard" Gmail account vs. Fastmail). Spam filtering on Fastmail has been

I love how this reads like a future history of now and/or alternate timeline parody, and yet it's actually talking about the early 1900s. Fascinating, and thank you for linking.

Your design is difficult for people with non-typical color vision. Your indicators for available/taken need to have at least two different differentiators - either a symbol+color, symbol+text, or color+text. For (even partially) color-

If you're going to be doing it manually regardless (if not automated), then as far as I'm concerned, you could definitely just use a "normal clicking speed" rate - so a second or two between clicks is probably just fine

That inbox approach is my approach as well. I've tried many times to shift to an actual TODO list - with the idea that using my inbox as a TODO list means extra overhead - every time I open my email I'm having to re-process my TOD

Depending on your access patterns, Wasabi ( https://wasabi.com/cloud-storage-pricing/ ) could be cheaper, since they charge more $5.99/TB, but don't charge for egress ($0.01/GB at B2) or API calls ("G

Unfortunately, I'm speaking from trying it last week. I do have some large org files that may be causing problems for both it and Emacs/org-mode, though, so I'll give it another shot once I've converted those all into a

Obsidian Admonition looks nice - thanks for the mention. I really hate quoting in markdown and miss the org-mode syntax of just marking the start/end, rather than having to edit every single line. This looks like it pretty much solves

I just dream of the day when Slack has "all threads with unread messages" show up in the side bar - somewhere. Let it be an option you can turn on/off, if need be. But right now I feel like I have to obsessively scroll down

Agreed it could be a bit quicker or more intuitive, but this seems to be a use-case I don't need to work with too often, so it's not bothered me. I'm guessing there's a mix of performance concern and privacy concern. The

And it's such a simple option to add, too - as far as I can tell, each message in a thread is just a message in the channel, just with a "threadId" attached to it. The client's the one that hides it and makes a mess of t

I do really hate how links between attachments and password entries get broken pretty easily, though. I think this is an area for improvement.

There's a huge amount of conceptual similarity between Wildcard and Electric Tables. I think I like (from the videos) the table approach of Wildcard a bit better, but it looks like Wildcard is more single-page focused, while Electric T

You can also try changing your address to a California address, and then the cancel button might magically appear in your account, due to different regulations around this for companies doing business in California.
