I have a https://sleke.io/ phone and it is a refurbed Pixel and doesn’t allow unrestricted web browsing or social media but you can install Beeper and Whatsapp and Google Suite. Nice community too.

I couldn’t believe how much better GPT-5.6 was when I switched over yesterday!

I switched to GPT 5.6 Sol yesterday and it has been a joy going through and fixing up the Claude cruft. And being able to read everything the model says. A breath of fresh air for sure!

That would mean they would be acquiring Venmo as well?

I feel like PayPal is slowly degrading, I hope Stripe would find a way to modernize it.

Just finished migrating to it to replace pdf2docx in a new project I’ve been working on and it is so much better. Thanks for open sourcing OpenDataLoader-PDF!

Consider taking a look at Zed, it can use Gemini with an API key and has an agentic “write” mode if you don’t want to copy and paste.

Not really a direct alternative as it requires you to use their bank but I've used Qube money for years and love never having to import transactions.

Qube Money is a fintech startup where your debit card is controlled by an envelope based budgeting app. It's still early days so no check deposit but they have thriving Facebook group of users and it helps me be much more intentional about spending.

They even have some neat features similar to privacy.com where you can spin up virtual ACH/debit card numbers via "Bill Qubes". Not to hide your identity but make sure free trials stay that way.

Give Directly has an interesting approach, direct cash transfers. Seem to have studies that show it helps.

It was expensive but I have used Delete Me by Abine in the past.

I've been enjoying https://squabbles.io/ as a great reddit alternative
