    I don’t like that you can only create an account linked with your Google account though.

    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 share this because it’s an interesting piece about how web apps are taking over native apps, and while it starts about the iPad it’s more general than the title makes it seem.

    This article discussed a window manager that implements a new way of working. It's a big twist on tiling managers. I thought it was interesting even though I don't currently use a tiling manager....

    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.

    It may be my European bubble but these last weeks I see more and more people rethinking now reliant they are on US tech. The topic is particularly touchy for governments and companies, who have been setting themselves up to be unable to function without US tech products, even cloud ones which can be turned off instantly.

    But we’re kind of stuck because some major products have no credible European alternative ready, regardless of whether it is even competitive.

    Obsidian is a popular notes software. It used to be only free for non-commercial use.

    I think this change is welcome and noteworthy because it opens its (legal) use to employees who want to use it at their work. Well, as long as their employer lets them run it…
