"The new Gemini model isn't available in Gemini, the Gemini App Gemini model is two versions behind and marked as new and the actual new model is in AI Studio" is the kind of problem only Google has though.

These are usually called LSVs; the number of these is low but growing because in dense urban areas or planned developments (golf courses, parks, senior communities) they're far more cost effective.

I've tried obsidian so many times and want to love it but the sync situation - either the expensive official one, the approved options for mixed iOS/Windows clients (icloud) and third party tools like obsidain-livesync - were all way too issue-prone for me to ever trust it. I hope they figure this out

Flightly is really popular on iOS, there's not really a comparable android version. Gentler Streak and a lot of fitness app also don't have comparable android versions - most of the examples I can think of are apps that focus (and charge for) good design

There's many iOS only apps that either don't have anything comparable on android or the alternative is just nowhere near as good (a lot of it is more creative-focused stuff)

A lot of people question the "effective" part of effective altruism, and simply saying "we support more effective giving" is not convincing, especially when the most public figurehead of the movement is/was a convicted fraudster.

I don't use beancount but if you're already in sheets, Tiller might be easier to switch to to get lots of built-in dashboards/metrics

1) technically? yes, absolutely- apps like explorer or photo viewer should only use public APIs so other companies can make comparable apps on the OS with 90% market share 2) these are all OS utilities, not workplace apps - there's a big difference between Adobe/Microsoft Office/Google bundling their apps where there's a very clear, very powerful disincentive to compete vs something like explorer.

It shouldn't be! Forcing big companies to unbundle product pricing would give new entrants to the market a fighting change at success.

If your company is even halfway legitimate they will have what they collect / monitor in your employee handbook or a privacy policy somewhere.

Zulip is more of a Slack-like instant chat system with threading as a first class citizen; CQ2 looks like threads only exist in the context of one "root" document vs a channel in zulip where threads can intermingle.

$24 a year is too much?

There are downsides to over-medicating, even if your personal budget for health is ~unlimited. Nobody wants to be a false positive.
