I've learned to live with having WireGuard/Tailscale on all the time on my own devices. But for giving (extended) family & friends access to shared albums with Immich, it's too impractical to configure and explain…
Related statement from the Executive Director of Open Collective Europe (OCE): https://opencollective.com/europe/updates/regarding-the-anno... I'm personally the admin of a (very small) OCF collective. It's sad to see…
Thanks for posting this! I'm the admin of an OCF-hosted Collective, but I didn't receive that email yet.
I couldn't agree more! I'm working at https://readup.com/, we're making a general-purpose reading app where reads-to-completion are the basis for monetization as opposed to clicks or views. Together with reader ratings…
Interesting concept, might try it! I've used Quitter (https://marco.org/apps) for months to auto-quit my email app & Slack after a time interval. This is a more proactive approach. You'd still have the issue of being…

In addition to what Jeff said, from the reader's point of view, Readup's mission is to make a home for deep reading on the internet first. It's not only ad-blocking and monetizing for creators. We already have article…
Hey all, Thor from Readup here! I started reading on Readup in Dec. 2019, when it was still just a browser extension and tiny web app. Readup gradually opened a new world for me: the variety and quality of articles I…
That sounds more like the ultimate goal of Facebook and Twitter. In contrast, Apple's ultimate goal is to sell more devices and get more people onto their subscription services. The ideas mentioned in the article don't…
I really like the ideation here (and in the HN comments!). They're not the first to come up with most of these ideas though, the Nudge extension (https://nudgeware.io/) already has nudges against infinite scroll & other…
