MB018YM6JVA8FPP> We will be making the PineNote available for early adopters later this year for $399. The early adopter’s PineNote batch will ship with a magnetic cover (working with an on-board hall sensor, putting the device to sleep) as well as the EMR pen. Following the early adopter’s batch, both the cover and the pen will be sold separately.
The Remarkable 2 costs $547 USD with a pen and magnetic cover. So right now the PineNote is ~$150 cheaper, but once they start selling the accessories separately, I'm expecting it to be around $50-$100 cheaper than the R2. Still a good difference, but it's not as competitive price-wise as people think.
Edit: Not that price is all that matters, I'm super excited to have a proper Linux e-ink device!
Reddit's new direction in recent years has been really painful. There's so many great niche communities there that practically don't exist elsewhere on the Internet. Unfortunately, if/when they get rid of old Reddit and the API for third party apps, I'll probably drop Reddit entirely.

AFAIK the only thing around nowadays is GeckoView [2] for Android.

Effect of ToS violations
Google-wide disabled account
In some cases a Google-wide account (which covers access to a variety of Google products like Google Photos, Google Play, Google Drive, and GCP) will be disabled for violations of a Google ToS, egregious policy violations, or as required by law. Owners of disabled Google accounts will not be able to access their Google Cloud resources until the account is reinstated. If an account is disabled, a notification is sent to the secondary email address provided during the signup process, if available. If a phone number is available, the user is notified via text message. The notification includes a link for appeal and recovery, where applicable.
In order to regain access to their GCP resources, owners of disabled Google accounts will need to contact Google support and have their account re-enabled.
To minimize the effect of an account being disabled on Google Cloud resources, we recommend that you add more than one owner to all resources. As long as there is at least one active owner, GCP resources will not be suspended due to the one of the owners being disabled.
Given the Google account horror stories that pop up every few months, seems risky if you're solo/only have one GCP owner.[0]: https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/project-suspe...
Maybe not quite as simple to set up, but you should be able to get something similar on most clients with a folder and a filter. I've done this for some of my important/urgent folders, with K9-Mail set to only show notifications from those folders (notification class).

For Qt, the current stack seems to be Kirigami, which is KDE's library for convergent apps. There's also the Mauikit framework, which is built on top of Kirigami (I don't know enough to know the exact differences).
For Gtk, it's libhandy, which adds a few widgets for convergent apps.
It looks like Flutter doesn't support ARM yet, I found this after a quick search: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/60678
There's also a few Electron/Webkit-based apps (especially for UBPorts), which is a nice temporary solution to get an app on the device while there isn't yet a native equivalent.
> The weird tale begins with an email that John Salzarulo received Tuesday afternoon. A Los Angeles based user, Salzarulo received an email from Cheung that "$20 cleaning is back!" thanks to its local partner.
> "I wanted to reach out personally today to invite you to join a private house cleaning trial with our Los Angeles partner, Fly Maids," Cheung wrote, not disclosing his connection to the company.
> When Salzarulo clicked the email link, the Fly Maids' site logged him into his Homejoy account, which still had his credit card number and notes about where to find the trash can.
I don't know if it's illegal, but I definitely think it's unethical.
> Also, was Camino ever officially a Mozilla product?
It was until at least late 2004/early 2005, when the website was hosted at mozilla.org/projects/camino [0]. The project's website moved to caminobrowser.org in March 2005 [1], but it's unclear if it remained a Mozilla project after that.

If anyone is interested, I'm using a very simple Hugo setup, just one template that reads from a yaml file with all the services. I'm using BunnyCDN to host (first time), cache hit rate is currently sitting at 70% which I'm happy with.
I think this differs from Killed by Google somewhat in that Google has killed off several commercially-viable products with active users, so I can see a possible intention there as a warning about relying on Google services.
Edit: as another comment said below, "abandoned" is probably a better choice of words for a lot of these projects.
