How do you like the Instinct 3 Solar? I'm considering one for the exceptional battery life.

They address that in the FAQ:

Some early Brave Origin users have asked how Brave can maintain user privacy while requiring a purchase ID (either from a Brave premium account or from the App Store / Play Store).

Brave uses a blind token protocol based on Privacy Pass, which decouples payment identity from service usage. These privacy-preserving subscription credentials allow the browser to verify you have a valid purchase of a premium product (like Origin) without learning anything about you.

I would abandon Plex completely, but I still haven't found a capable app to remotely stream the 2.5TB of music on my Synology.

I would look at Navidrome. Completely focused on music, and for that application much better than either plex or jellyfin.

I wish they had developed the open source Inbox into a consumer hosted email service for users. It would have been nice to see more competition with Google and Microsoft.

In other words, they are doubling the annual subscription fee from $10 to $20.

The Windy privacy policy seems decent.

This really interesting, would love to see how Signal stacks up.

What’s a good app for iOS or tvOS? It looks like the official jellyfin app for iOS hasn’t been updated in a year.

What happens to students? If you're on your parents' plan but not physically in their "household"?

Or Bitwarden's Passwordless.dev which is free for 10,000 users. The pro plan is $0.05 per user/month for the first 10,000 users and $0.01/user for users above 10,000.

Yah it really does destroy my battery on iOS.

How do you keep Tailscale from destroying your battery on iOS? I am trying to do this but it always kills my battery and it’s a pain to only enable and manually sync Bitwarden.

Does anyone know if bitwarden encrypts the URL? A quick search of their docs didn’t turn anything up.

Isn’t google getting rid of all the old legacy unlimited plans?

Same, it's really a shame as tailsclae is great but it uses so much battery on my ios devices I cant keep it active.

As a consumer, if pricing was reasonable, I would switch to this is a heartbeat.

Iran has blocked Telegram in 2017 and 2018. Presumably they could be doing that as well soon which is why I was highlighting some Signal features to help.

Just a reminder that Signal supports both censorship circumvention and independently hosted proxies (e.g. Search Twitter, etc. for proxy links using the #IRanASignalProxy hashtag.)

Signal bugs on ios really are a pain point for people that I have convinced to switch. Even basic things, the ios app does not seem to use the correct camera API which makes using the internal camera lower quality which also makes video calls blurry.

This is awesome! Had no clue this existed.

Wish this had SMTP credentials for legacy applications (even with an extra fee).

Don’t forget SimpleLogin which is open source and just got bought by ProtonMail last week.

Just echoing the comment above. Cloudflare email forwarding would perfectly replace the free google apps that is being eliminated if it would allow sending emails as well. Even if it was heavily throttled / limited so people don't use it for transactional emails.

This is great! I wish they supported SMTP for sending emails (even if heavily limited / throttled) as well.

If there are other Simple Login / free G Suite users, please upvote the github issue below. With Google providing a way to migrate from G Suite to a normal Gmail account, SL is considering adding SMTP access which would allow us to migrate an unlimited amount of user / domains over. This would provide a cheap way to forward / respond from our domain addresses while using a free Gmail address. https://github.com/simple-login/app/discussions/679

I have been looking for a good windows rss reader for a while, Ravens.js looks pretty solid. Thanks for the tip.

I haven’t been following development closely, are there any comparisons of Elementary and Ubuntu Budgie?

MobileCoin looks fantastic! Seems to solve the major pain points of Bitcoin: fast transactions, low transaction fees, private and no massive environmental impact with mining. Any ETA on when this will come to the USA?

Love this idea but are the surveys randomized or quality controlled at all? I have tried 4 surveys, all different and the results seem weirdly consistent. Option A always seems to win out with ~60% of the vote (60%, 64%, 60%, 57%). I even reversed the two images in one test and whatever was in position A won.
