I've been using Google Sheets for years and always figured it was better than Excel.

For whatever reason, I recently got Excel and... yeah - way better.

I imagine if this system was in place, then they likely wouldn't have written letters to start with.

Navigation purposes?

I keep procrastinating putting a mount on my bike, so now every time I go out for a drive I need to pull over, take my phone out of my pocket, check to make sure I didn't miss the turn (50/50 chance), put it back in, and get going again - only to repeat the process whenever I feel lost again.

Patreon executive salary is $250k. You really think cutting that is going to make a drop in the bucket for 80 employees?

> Email is now an oligopoly, a service gate kept by a few big companies which does not follow the principles of net neutrality.

While I understand what they're getting at here, I disagree. There are certainly other providers you can go with - You just need to pay up.

Happy customer of FastMail here. All of my personal domains, and multiples businesses are tied to it. Wonderful service, no deliverability issues, great features, etc.

So - clearly other companies are able to get it right. Self-hosting is probably difficult, but it's not like you're forced to go to Big Tech.

Upsells after, or God-forbid, during a massage are just the absolute worst.

Let me just lay down and forget the world for an hour and leave in bliss please.

Why is "Get X Free" on someone's website bad? If you don't want it, then exit. Just because they have an offer available for those who subscribe doesn't immediately mean they're going to be a bad user of your email.

Not all email marketing is bad - most of it isn't, really. 90% of stuff you likely subscribed to at some point for whatever reason (Free gift, discount, purchase, interested in their content, whatever) - and most things have an unsubscribe so it's a simple matter to remove yourself.

Most of the other 10% goes to spam anyway and I never see it. Apart from the obvious spam that I never see anyway, I very rarely get emails that I didn't intend to receive.

First negative review is hilarious:

>Downloaded it to give it a shot and it ask you for everything! All your private data! Pictures, private messages, etc..

It's an app to move all your data, but you're surprised to see it asks for your data? If you're trying to switch to Google anyway, then they'll have your new data anyhow...

This is precisely what I was thinking as well. Either via Markov chaining or GPT-3

It's not even that though. It's just pure silence - regardless of whether I say something.

Sooo happy that someone did the research and write-up on this. I get a handful of these every week and I've been dying of curiosity. Tried stringing them along but could never figure out the end-game.

Now - can someone answer why I get 10 calls a day with no one on the other end? Either I pick-up and it's empty and the call ends a few seconds later, or they leave a 7 second voicemail of nothing.

Probably just coincidence. Google over-zealously suspends ad accounts, listings, etc. all the time.

It'd being hugged right now - as is the entire site. I'm trying to download the video so I can watch it... 27.6 MB with an hour estimate, lol.

They said a site similar - Not that this is theirs.

Finders Keepers.

Sounds like it's against someone else selling Umbrel to you; Not you going to someone and saying "Set this up for me".

I think so. I understood it immediately; but I've also been dabbling in the self-hosted space for a bit.

Meh - $100/year. I'm happy to support a small developer for a great product.

I'm a hugeeee LunchMoney fan. It's a solo dev and she does great! Hooked a few friends on it as well. This has been a lifesaver for insight into my financials and it's super flexible.

Quick minute or two: Wordle (Or a copy of it, that I can play more than one game a day)

On-Going in the background: Old School Runescape - I have 3 monitors, so I keep it on half of one while I work. There are many activities that are a "grind" and are pretty AFK, so it's just a click every few minutes or so.

Not at all. It doesn't imply either.

I wouldn't expect Deliverr to add much, if any, environmental impact.

The way they work is by partnering with hundreds/thousands of warehouses throughout the US. The merchant sends units in to a few of these, and now the units are closer to the end customer, so it can get there faster.

Whether it's all stored in one central warehouse, and then distributed, or done via Deliverr (& Amazon FBA & Walmart's) way, it still needs to get from A to B. Just now it's closer. There might be a little extra shuffling.

What I love about Deliverr is they have very predictable pricing. I used them for some small units I experimented with adding to my catalog.

> “Dark patterns” — confusing or deceptive user interfaces designed to steer users into making certain choices — will be prohibited. The EU says that, as a rule, cancelling subscriptions should be as easy as signing up for them.

This is an excellent addition.

Ah, that makes more sense. I was thinking OP went from the larger man in the middle to the fit guy on the right - and was thinking, "Well sure! Lose 150 lbs and you'll gain some confidence!"

C'est la vie. Focus on building your product.

Missed a great opportunity for marketing wordplay: Mangazine

Congrats on your launch!

Thanks for the share - Makes me feel like my investment portfolio is rocketing now!
