Agreed. I don’t need a screen or a loud speaker on a voice assistant box. Just make it small and cheap, as promised.

It’s using a lightning network for quick transactions.

You could use Phabricator today.

This looks very promising. In addition to using KOReader I will be able to customize the lock screen and remove Amazon's upsells. I guess the only downside is that I won't be able to use WiFi or buy e-books from Amazon.

If anything they could depend even more on these individual purchases.

Do you know if that affects movies bought through Apple’s TV app (US)? I have quite a few movies in my collection and would be really annoyed if they didn’t work in Europe.

Is there a non-DRM format + an e-reader combo that allows for bookmarks, text selection, dictionary search? Ideally I would prefer to keep my Kindle but would really love to buy and own non-DRM books.

This is really sad. Artificial constraints on a medium that was supposed to democratize access to information.

I am right now in line to borrow the new DeGrasse Tyson’s book and will have to wait for almost 6 weeks for my turn. They have only 3 digital copies available and almost a hundred people waiting ahead of me.

It’s not about biased tools though. I would use a device invented by a Nazi scientist.

In fact we all benefit daily from scientific discoveries made in oppressive, violent, bigoted regimes.

That doesn’t sound like a valid criticism of cloud service providers. Or shovel sellers.

Do you think older tech companies are migrating from pure backend to API+React architecture because it’s trendy and fun?

When was the last time you read about a UI heavy web app migrating from a JS framework to Django templates?

This is one of those cases when Jira is suffering from its UI/IA mess. It has lots of good feature but the discoverability is horrendous, which leads to so much user (my) confusion.

This positioning is confusing as most of the features are an overkill for a solo engineer/entrepreneur/etc.

The free tier is not a perfect fit a solo person for the same reason.

Wonder if it could be worth trying offering tiers based on your vision for different size teams. Eg a solo person gets a single user (no user management features), no chat, no any multi-user features.

Only for personal use though. Any team of 2+ people will struggle to keep track of paper notes.
