How about using some of that skills to make that page mobile ready...

I think affiliation is much more likely to be a relevant revenue stream for them in the future. Instant checkouts would be a game changer in my view. Especially for upcoming generations, that don't have the habit of scrolling the open web to get their stuff done, but are native to LLMs.

Hence (for example) the doom scrolling wheel keeps spinning.

This is in my family too. One person always had a tendency of being overly worried and after children moved out and social life thinned or a bit, this became more prevalent.

After years of trying to push that person towards trying out new things and enriching their life, I kind of gave up. You simply cannot convince someone about a medicine if they don't feel there is a problem. Still it's hard to see believing the person could be enjoying life more, especially during their retirement.

You can’t make someone change, if they don’t want to.

This can be very sad. The person you love just fades away.

I came here to say: read this book, it's really great.

I think if your depression is very deeply buried, it surely isn't enough to read it, but still it can open up quit some insights regarding the connection of what you think and how you feel. It makes it visible.

There can also be other causes for depression is course.

While studying and testing the exercises described in the book I discovered one other thing I'd like to share: to me it seems, to come out of a reappearing mental dip, you need to be very consistent in your efforts (mental / physical exercises and other habits you try to establish or change, to feel better). Anyone else?

Let's count the days until someone builds an AI solution that does just that and adopts existing apps to the new SDK without breaking anything or changing functionality.

Anyone already started building this? :-).

Would bring my social RSS reader back to life too. Had the exact same experience others have described here: it's not worth the time investing anymore at some point...

Sometime it's funny to look at the packages list of your domain provider and realize for example, that at some point in the past I was indeed convinced "thewienerway.com" would one day be the go to merch shop for everything around wiener dogs :-).

Okay, there were some beers involved...

Since Google is about to brick my Pixel 6a with the battery botchering update, i find myself in the same struggle again i had when buying the 6a.

Basically you have to make compromises on performance and camera and then this was, what i came up with: - Zenfone 10 (flagship with prices still above launch price (!), which soon gets no updates anymore) - Unihertz Jelly Max (small, but thick and bad camera) - Rakuten Hand 5G and Rakuten Mini (also bad camera and older Android) - Balmuda Phone (which i really like, but also bad camera and discontinued, so probably not even security updates and no custom rom support) - Bluefox NX1 (really tempting, but appearantly kind of bad build quality and no NFC)

All other options are even older phones. Samsung S25 line does exist, but i really like vanilla Android. I think the price chart of the Zenfone DOES somehow indicates the existence of a market and i wonder if it would be big enough for a small niche player!?

Personally I am considering a pixel 8, which is the "smallest" of current phones, but it still really isn't small. And i don't see myself as a Google customer because of the battery topic...

I personally would have been more happy had Eric made a small android phone instead of the new pebble, but hey...

I have the Pixel 8, and I've been happy with the battery and pretty much everything. It's got a great performance/price ratio.

I got a Pixel 8, and it's not small, but it's reasonably sized. About the same as the Moto G7 I replaced, much smaller than my kid's current Moto G Power. The good thing about the Pixel 8 is that you can run LineageOS on it, which was the main thing that determined my choice.

Couldn't you put lineage on the zenfone?

How problematic is app compatibility with Lineage nowadays? (banking, google-pay etc.)

Rakuten hand was/is very small.

Couldn't get my hands on one so far as they don't sell in Germany. Could you elaborate a bit if you had the chance to try one?

This my friends is how the next iteration of venture capital contract templates becomes even longer...

Otherwise, normally with the amount of capital raised by Windsurf, the founders must have signed some kind of non-compete for the event of a bad-leaver (which this obviously is). Guess covering these penalties was just part of Google's deal, hm?

Reading all the comments here about small phones and after recently receiving Google's info about my pixel 6As battery downgrade I took a look at Unihertz again and they apparently made a pretty good looking new 5G model "jelly max".

What do you guys think? Should we give it as go? Apparently it's funded via s Kickstarter...
