Just domain for $11 a year.

The home server is running on old laptop so I guess slight electricity too. ISP doesn't really count since I work from home and need to pay for that anyway.

I have lifetime Windscribe VPN and Koofr 1TB, which are not subscriptions.

The company thinks they pay programmers to write code

In my company, the C level is pushing hard for AI adoption so everyone is expected to use AI to write code.

When something goes wrong in production do you just ask AI to identify the problem?

Basically, yes. I am no longer programmer but more like software architect or manager. Architecting the design and reviewing AI plan and code.

Maybe that's the point and they have decided their high end phones need to be more visibly distinct from the rest of the lineup?

That's exactly how I feel. There's a reason why the front camera is still the ugly notch. Maybe they don't profit much from low end phones and want to push more people to the midrange ones.

Well, the good news is you can always jailbreak your Kindle to install KOReader which plays nice with Wallabag.

KOReader is basically a custom app that has much more integration and plug in compared to built in Kindle app.

Think of your current Kindle UI as "default app" and KOReader as another app that's much more powerful than Kindle app, and you can always switch between Kindle "app" and KOReader "app" at anytime so you don't even lose any built in Kindle functionality.

Personally I found KOReader to be super useful for these:

  • Dark mode on Kindle Paperwhite 3 which doesn't support it natively

  • Use gesture to increase or reduce Kindle backlight

  • Connect to cloud storage to download books directly

  • Download article using RSS for web serial (shoutout to Pale lights) and basically read my web serial in Kindle

  • Set WiFi to be auto off when Kindle is sleeping and auto connect when out of sleep mode.

I don’t see a reason to use Lemmy app on desktop though. Feels more natural to access Lemmy and Reddit through browser if I am on desktop.

Ah yes, I believed it's a webapp packaged as app. And it still follows iOS style even on Android. But maybe I am just a simple guy who favours function over form, I always like simple and functional design over polish.

I found Voyager to be quite similar to Apollo. It's available for both iOS and Android. Plus it's open source.

Ecosia as search engine because I want to support their tree planting.

I don't have favorite browser. I use Firefox for balance of convenience and privacy. It gets the job done.
