It works fine with local models. I have it pointing at my strix halo running Qwen3.8 Flash Next, for example.

There was a time when it was quite bad, especially if using Wayland and under heavy CPU or I/O loads. I think this has mostly been solved now, but I do recall getting frustrated with the switch to Wayland because of it.

I can't find an announcement yet, however the pricing page now shows it's not included, and various support articles have removed any mention of the the Pro plan including access to claude code.
See [1] and [2] for an example of a support article that's had claude code removed as a Pro feature.
I guess this is the beginning of the end for subsidised model access, at least from Anthropic.

Having switched to a kobo in the last week from a kindle, yes it is still possible, but involves a few steps, one of which can require an old version of the kindle for PC app. [1]
I couldn't make it work on books already downloaded to my kindle - they had to be downloaded via the app - and since it requires an old version of an app that automatically tries to update, I'm not sure how long it'll be possible, so my suggestion is to dump kindle and Amazon if you every want to have any control over your books.

I'm not able to test this right now, but my understanding is that this was fixed (after 20+ years?) with this merge: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/merge_requests/156...

The storage costs coming in from 1st March feel like they're going to catch a lot of organisations out too. Private repos will cost $10/month per 100GB of storage, something that was previously not charged for. We're in the middle of a clear out because we have several TB of images that we'd rather not pay for on top of the existing subscription costs.

This has been developing over the last few days, with some users of the Tado smart thermostat and heating system being locked out of the app that's used to control both heating and hot water in their homes unless they agree to pay a subscription fee for basic access to the app (something which is still marketed as being free) [1].
If users do agree to pay, only once they have complete the process they are told it is part of a "test", however they are shown legitimate looking Apple Pay screens [2] along the way which Tado appear to be faking. Since there's no warning that this is a test up front, many users are finding themselves effectively locked out of controlling their heating and hot water at one of the coldest times of the year unless they agree to a pay subscription.
I have a Tado system in my house, and haven't been shown the screen yet, however it's highlighted for me just how little control I actually have over my heating and hot water if a company can remotely lock users out, effectively extorting money to continue heating their homes using hardware they have already paid for. I'll be looking to switch to something that's doesn't require an internet connection just to work...

I've previously moved from Pivotal to Shortcut (when it was still called Clubhouse) and found it to be a good alternative for our small team. I did end up having to write my own import scripts, though that only took an evening or two.

I wouldn't describe mine as particularly unique, but I did a writeup for the lobste.rs thread, so will share it here: https://jamesmcminn.com/articles/office-2024/

Not a single mention of sleep, which one would think would have a strong relationship with both coffee habits and learning and memory.
