    Back when they came up with Arc it looked like a promising browser to me, with a new UX and interesting features.

    Since then it looks like they decided to throw away all of that to jump on the AI train, so they abandoned Arc and started Dia. And now they merge with a business bloatware maker.

    I always prefer to read left-aligned text as well, and make sure to set it this way in all my reports.

    Not only I find it more readable to avoid hyphens and have a consistent width of space characters, but I find that the inconsistent right edge of the paragraph helps me follow which line I'm at.

    When I come across a recommended video while browsing on my phone, I just save it to “watch later” in Youtube. Then I’ll get to watch it at some point on a PC.

    To summarize, Kagi's LLM interface is available on all their plans, with usage limits depending on the plan, and the more costly models only available for "Ultimate" subscribers.

    I find this article a nice introduction to this framework, it’s quite approachable to people who understand only the basics. I am interested in simple hypermedia libraries, and have been building simple features with HTMX, so this is nice to get some comparison with it too.

    I thought it was interesting even though I don't currently use a tiling manager. It's a fresh way of seeing how a desktop interface can work.
