I've switched fully to a 3" Unihertz Jelly Star in September. It took A LOT of customization to get it to become the "Intent" device that I had wanted it to be. But by now, it makes all unwanted behavior sufficiently difficult while allowing all modern conveniences such as IM, payments, tickets, navigation etc.

I'll do a proper blogpost series about it some day.

If consuming content is how you want to spend your energy & lifetime, then the bigger & brighter & more-HDR-than-life the better. I hope you find happiness. But if you at some point tire of not-creating and cannot stand spending your time as a targeted money-sack, then tiny phones are a good way out.

Bought my 1st SteamDeck on a whim after a friend showed me. Had a big gaming rig back then. Within 2 months the rig ceased to get any use. Now I'm on a 2TB OLED SteamDeck with custom triggers and regret nothing, My kids play on my older Deck. Best gaming hardware I've ever owned (ref: C-64 was my first).

Dieses Blatt hat es nicht mehr verdient als Quelle zitiert zu werden seit sie eine Ausgabe mit dem Doppelseiten Feature "Für & Wider Seenot Rettung" hatten.

Hier ist schon seit vielen Jahren nicht mehr qualitativer Journalismus, sondern polarisierende Meinungsmache die treibende Kraft.

Thank you! Precisely my thoughts. I was a paying Kagi customer for a year, but compared to e.g. Brave's on search index, their results were not vastly superior. I never got into using all those fancy search !bangs or custom prioritizations for individual sites and >90% of their changelog updates in that 1 year were about which additional new LLM was now also available for Ultimate Tier customers - but I didn't come to Kagi for LLM assistants. That's didn't use to be their value proposition.

POSIX and shell functions can get us very far indeed. At least, not everthing's an object in Bash. :P

I am also pretty confused about this. Any idea why the usual releases aren't available?

As long as I can still customize Gnome with some extensions for improved focus, it'll stay my DE of choice.

That's what happens when you rehire the local DVP during reunification.

Muckefuck wie WWII. Passt zur Zeit.

Decided to OpenSource instead of Software Patent (as my employer was urging me). Nowadays, that technique is used in every decent Image CDN + compression tool. Still proud to see it everywhere. Maybe it wouldn't have made it if had been patented.
