Upvoted a comment on FossWallet as an alternative to Google WalletIt doesn't hold payment cards, so you can't tap it. It only holds passcards, such as for public transport, or those with a barcode that can be scanned.
You can just use Brave and not have to deal with the extensions like uBlock at all.
It seems all the open-source apps are very rapidly improving their UI now that AI is better at coding than most people.

Upvoted a comment on Microsoft OutlookStill can't sync with Google Contacts even after years of broken promises. Sticking with Thunderbird as it's 99% of what I want.
- Reviewed Microsoft Outlook★★
It's fine to use in the browser, but they do not play well with IMAP, such as Thunderbird. I think this is intentional to try to move more people to using the Outlook Client, since many people have to use Outlook for work.
It is the only email that I ever have problems with connecting to Thunderbird, and it's a common problem based on Thunderbird's Github issues. The alternative is incompetent programmers.

Reviewed Kimi★★Not really impressed compared to Gemini/Claude/ChatGPT.
And in free mode, if you ever try to test the Kimi 3, no matter what time of day it says: "Too many people are chatting with Kimi right now. Subscribe to enter a dedicated priority queue!"
Just be honest and say you can only try it if you buy first...

But I collect certain books and have had very bad luck with them. Good service, they will refund you, but every single order I've had has been the wrong copy or much worse condition than stated.

Downvoted a comment on ZettlrIn reply to kyrylokaralyus:
Simplenote is a notetaking tool similar to Evernote while Zettlr is a markdown editor similar to Ulysses. Markdown editors are like code editors but made for markdown writing. It's like saying what is the point of Simplenote if MS Word exists, Simplenote does the thing MS Word do but you can't save your work into a single DOCX file.
Also, if you care about privacy, you should stop using Simplenote (or...

It's an electron app. If that doesn't bother you, you'll find a pretty good markdown editor in Zettlr. Writing and saving your notes (to-do-lists, personal wiki articles) in markdown means you can access them with any third party text editor if need be. Combine this with Nextcloud's "Notes" and you have your very own OneNote / Google Keep on all your devices.
