I have a https://sleke.io/ phone and it is a refurbed Pixel and doesn’t allow unrestricted web browsing or social media but you can install Beeper and Whatsapp and Google Suite. Nice community too.

I couldn’t believe how much better GPT-5.6 was when I switched over yesterday!

I switched to GPT 5.6 Sol yesterday and it has been a joy going through and fixing up the Claude cruft. And being able to read everything the model says. A breath of fresh air for sure!

That would mean they would be acquiring Venmo as well?

I feel like PayPal is slowly degrading, I hope Stripe would find a way to modernize it.

Just finished migrating to it to replace pdf2docx in a new project I’ve been working on and it is so much better. Thanks for open sourcing OpenDataLoader-PDF!

Consider taking a look at Zed, it can use Gemini with an API key and has an agentic “write” mode if you don’t want to copy and paste.

Not really a direct alternative as it requires you to use their bank but I've used Qube money for years and love never having to import transactions.

Qube Money is a fintech startup where your debit card is controlled by an envelope based budgeting app. It's still early days so no check deposit but they have thriving Facebook group of users and it helps me be much more intentional about spending.

They even have some neat features similar to privacy.com where you can spin up virtual ACH/debit card numbers via "Bill Qubes". Not to hide your identity but make sure free trials stay that way.

Anthrophic share sale sounds like it can cover it at those original prices https://www.reuters.com/technology/crypto-exchange-ftx-sell-...

Give Directly has an interesting approach, direct cash transfers. Seem to have studies that show it helps.

It was expensive but I have used Delete Me by Abine in the past.

I've been enjoying https://squabbles.io/ as a great reddit alternative

I had to reset my password once for it to work. I wonder if my initial password was too long.

A reminder for everyone that Authy allows multi device and backups in case you lose your phone. From my understanding Google Authenticator doesn't offer either of these.

I use Qube Money (app-controlled debit card with virtual budget envelopes).

They are really pretty and it is quite strange to see them all over (I live in the woods) when they used to not be around at all.

Qube Money. After about 9 years of using systems that required us to import transactions, the tap to spend from virtual debit card method of Qube Money is a huge time saver!

Also getting that same error trying to delete my old unused Lastpass account :(

Not state in blog post, one of comments mentions a $4 flat fee to use this feature: "On a $35 purchase, that's 11% of the purchase cost spread over one month. Annualized, that's an astounding 250% APY." https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/articles/introducing-...

This looks very interesting! Not needing to save a bunch of screenshots and CSS to a ticket seems extremely convenient!

I carry around an F1 Orchid Dumb Phone from Sunbeam Wireless (voice to text on it is awesome!) and try to leave my smartphone in my office and find I am more relaxed and have more time when I don't scroll HN and News as much. I still usually bring my smartphone when I leave home but I love spending evenings without it.

It's not offline or open source but I love Qube Money. No transactions to import because you choose category to spend from before you can swipe your Debit Card. For regular bills I still use a separate account/CC but this has allowed me and my SO to spend a lot less time budgeting.

Are you in California perhaps?

This is awesome. You can "chat" with copilot :)

I kept stopping at the MVP section (I'm on iOS) but if you keep scrolling you'll eventually get to "Key features released in GitLab 14.0"

I like TaxAct

Check out Qube Money. I use it and although it is early, it functions very well as a never have to import transactions cash-like budgeting system.

It might sound crazy to suggest more phones as a solution but using two phones, one of which has browser blocked with screen time and other one I leave in my office. That allows me to intentionally leave my browser enabled phone and use my other phone when I want to be less tempted to scroll a lot.
