Hey owjuhl, just a friendly heads up that the Github and LinkedIn icons in the footer don't have URLs yet, just hashtags.

I'd love to move to Apple, but muscle memory is a real PITA. I just can't seem to overcome that obstacle, no matter how small. I always seem to find my way back to 'good old' Android/Windows. It's almost like an abusive relationship.

Hey thanks, just installed it! These are all super useful additions.

Thanks for the opt-out link. Weirdly, step 3 is missing, there's no Amazon Sidewalk link in my app.

That's exciting! Is there a place I can sign up to be notified when it's released?

> I purchased a lifetime subscription (limited promo offer) with mxroute.com.

At the risk of stating the obvious, note that 'lifetime' refers to the lifetime of the company, not the customer. Which underscores the risk of buying lifetime subscriptions.

And as much as I like the idea of avoiding recurring costs (I have a 'lifetime' Plex pass), it seems to me that these can't be sustainable for the company on the long term.

As does "Hey Cookie", though it might just be because of my Dutch accent.

I never understood the need to name suspects - address and all - in this country.

In my home country suspects that are (or are about to be) charged and convicted with a crime have their last name abbreviated (e.g. Paul S.), which seems completely reasonable to me. You're innocent until proven guilty, for one. But even if you're guilty and convicted, your punishment should be limited to whatever the judge rules it should be.

I don't see the need for public shaming beyond whatever punishment they get in court should they be convicted. When someone is released after a prison sentence they have a right to resume their life. They did their time, after all.

Sorry if I sound like I'm rambling a bit, English is not my native language.
