Does anyone know an example of an instant app? I’d like to see what this is before it gets shut down.

If you buy from a reputable seller with a good free return policy, at worst you'll have to send the device back. If you have access to a credit card or PayPal, it's a good idea to use them, in case the seller becomes unresponsive.

Your entry for Omnivore says the link to the hosted version is broken. That's because it shut down at the end of last year.

It was a good option for read-it-later, whereas most of the of the bookmarking self-hosted apps seems more focused on saving and sorting links.

Is it good for read-it-later functionality, for example to read from a phone without online connectivity?

Cloudflare works really well and has a good UI. Namecheap also works well, but it takes more clicks to adjust DNS records.

Sure, it's possible. I could do it by hand, but the more clients you want to add, the more cumbersome the process. What I'd like is a tool to automate what is mostly a templating process.

For me, this has been the case for years, at least on Windows and Linux. It happens mostly on Maps, but also on Docs/Sheets, and to a lesser extent on GMail.

I use Firefox, but I have never had the same experience with it as those who claim it's just as fast as Chrome.

I have not, but from screenshots it seems only a minor reskin.

There was a Linux client I saw a while ago—Spring Mail or something like that?—which first downloaded your email from your provider onto their own servers, then your local client got them from their server. This additional cloud step is what I want to avoid.

Yeah, having the option is not a bad thing. Nothing changes for those who use the apps or want them there, but it lets people remove them if that's what they want.

For those of you that do, join us at !fountainpens@wayfarershaven.eu :)

Thank you for sharing this story. I've recently watched this video on MLMs and it describes exactly the kind of situations your mom found herself in. I thought these MLM schemes were bad before, but I had no idea just how horrible they actually are...

Do you find DDG to be slower than Bing or Google? A few years ago I thought there was a noticeable delay with DDG, but not with Google.

Thanks! I have no idea how I hadn't tried that before! 😅

Hi. Thanks for the release. It's excellent and I'm really enjoying using Connect!

Here are a couple of small requests from a compact layout user:

• Would it be possible to add dividers between posts in compact layout? Currently there is a lot of text and little visual separation.
• Would you consider adding an option to move the thumbnails to the right?

And here are a couple of minor issues I've noticed:

• Even though I have comment dividers set to All, a divider is still missing between the post's body and the beginning of the comment section.
• In Swipe Settings, the explanation labels for comment actions are wrong, referencing posts instead.

Thanks again for your work.

Just keep in mind that sd cards can also stop working. I would encourage you to keep at least two separate copies, ideally one on a different medium than an SD card, and check regularly that you can still access the codes. A backup is only as useful as it is easy to restore.

If you have access to a Mac, use the Apple AAC encoder. It will give you better results than libfdk_aac, which itself is much better than the ffmpeg built-in aac encoder.

The author does a pretty good job of explaining the potential problems this technology could cause. Scroll down to Why Attestation Is Bad.

MiXplorer is great! I've been using it for several years, and it always does everything I want and much more.

In fact, scrolling is the main difference to me. App opening/closing animations also appear smoother, but I find you get used to those much easier if you go back to 60 Hz after having used 120 Hz. Scrolling, however, isn't the same...
