At first I was confused about the books comment, since most books are just black text on white paper, but then I realized you were probably including comic books and manga in that too (and probably textbooks that include a lot of graphics)

I feel ya man, I don’t work at Amazon but at a fintech startup, and I’ve survived through so many rounds of layoffs, demotions, and “restructurings” that I’m kinda numb to it all and just waiting for my turn too haha

Don’t worry, once the hype fades, we can start calling LLMs “machine learning” again

I can tell you that I’ve been using Kagi for a few months and it hasn’t been life changing or anything. But I would say that it has been useful enough to keep around. I honestly like the info dense layout over the other search sites, and I use the ability to push down or block sites entirely so I don’t see the spam sites I don’t want to see. Also, “quick answers” is actually pretty useful sometimes when I don’t want to click on any of the search results. Plus, with the $10 sub, you get unlimited uses of the summarizer, which has been great for arxiv papers.

I wouldn’t say it’s for everyone and I don’t know if there’s astroturfing going on, but it’s been useful enough for me to keep paying the $10 a month

Maybe they should have spent some of the money they used on this questionable design update on improving their app or working with third party app developers.

I will never forgive excel for automatically converting all of my dates to some weird ass format, or stripping single quotes randomly, or something other BS that they do for no reason

Damn… I still prefer that over going into the office at least, since I don’t have to commute

Have the MPA and RIAA stopped being cruel and heartless?

I tried buying something using crypto on Coin base back in the day. Signed up, transferred $100 into Eth, had to wait two or three days for Coinbase to do their due diligence or whatever, and then it was down 50% by the time I could use it. (I think China banned crypto or something?) I just pulled out my credit card and bought the item directly, and never touched crypto again

I always heard tips started as "To Insure Prompt Service" or something. Which is basically what you're doing here with Door dash, so we've gone back to the root of tips.

Does this work with installing xpi files from GitHub? (Say bypass paywalls for Firefox) I remember I used to be able to do this on Nightly, but suddenly I stopped having that ability

Too relevant, given that uptobox shut down yesterday and alldebrid torrents don’t work right now

Am idiot, still use Instacart though because it saves me at least an hour a week (probably closer to two hours after accounting for shopping time and getting ready to leave) for $20, which is worth it to me

I use All Debrid, and I can’t even connect to the download servers when I turn on Mullvad
