You may not know either way but the scientific community absolutely does. Over 350,000 papers published here referencing long covid specifically and growing: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/research/coronavirus/


SARS-CoV-2 not only infects the brain it continues to replicate inside neurons. Evidence of this featured just days ago: https://x.com/danibeckman/status/1769569843760763120


Another idea is this facilitates (re)creating these kinds of worlds and moments. Imagine your favorite MMORPG at your favorite time and imagine being able to recreate what feels like that time and place with other “players” being agents behaving in manners consistent in that context. Invite some friends. Have a good time. Throw it away.



I can’t help but notice the distinction between between customers _deciding_ and participants being _informed_. Can participants not also decide? Can the decisions not be mutual and decided per-session?

My child uses zoom for school and our family for healthcare - both of those scenarios make us participants. It sounds like we are beholden to the decisions of your customer, the institutions.

I am extremely concerned and intending to initiate discussions and suggesting alternatives promptly this week.


The blog post your company just published confirms this:

Account owners or administrators (“customers”) provide consent. Participants receive notice.

Gross and disappointing.


That's not how consent works in the GDPR legal sense. (But maybe that's not something Zoom USA cares about if an insignificant amount of profit comes from EU.)


I was hesitant to configure my partner’s devices (family plan) to set as default engine but eventually convinced them and they haven’t even brought it up once since. I assume no news is good news! I would be less hesitant to recommend to other non-tech friends/family if it were easier to configure as default on Safari. Heck, I’d even entertain gifting subscriptions. The quality of results for me has been incredibly reliable. Enjoyable, even. And, I didn’t even take the time to start configuring these kinds of rules. Love this. Great product. Wishing long, lasting success.


Thank you very much for the kind words.

Unfortunately we can not influence the choices that Safari makes, but we did pull an effort to build an entire browser [1] to replace it because of that :)

Any progress on a Linux version?


We haven't begun work on the Linux version of the browser yet. We will need to significantly expand our team before undertaking the development of a browser for a new platform.


Please make a browser for Linux too. And please make it based on Firefox preferably.

Thank you. Lots of love to Kagi, though I'm not a paying user yet but I do love what you folks are doing and want to f*ck Google.


> And please make it based on Firefox preferably.

The macOS browser is based on WebKit. If the team can’t justify the Linux version yet, changing it to a whole different engine (and one which is notoriously hard to embed, by admission of Mozilla itself) is even less likely.


Why Firefox? What’s wrong with the WebKit they’re using already?


There's an alternative [1], so you can use any search engine. Although i always wonder about whether my privacy is at risk when using this app...

I like this idea. Especially helpful for prototyping a web UI against an arbitrary existing dataset. PostgREST is much more full featured and as commented by a few others “production-ready”(?) but if you’re into this and looking for something a bit more naive but just as accessible I wrote a similar utility to expose some Postgres data over http: https://github.com/daetal-us/grotto


I'd say it has been production-ready for some years now. There are some documented cases of companies using it in production here: http://postgrest.org/en/v6.0/#in-production.


Excellent work.


You argue that spacing produces clutter, but I completely disagree. Clutter is shoving tons of information together without spacing.


You argue that spacing produces clutter

"You argue"?

Clutter means (let me open the dictionary) "a collection of things lying about in an untidy mass".

I never said only spacing produces clutter. Either I'm not explaining myself clearly or you read something that was not in my comment (this is called a strawman, right?)


I never said you are completely, objectively wrong. I just disagreed with a point.. On that note, I see nothing untidy.

No hostility meant by "you argue". You provided a critique, an argument. I'd open the dictionary... ;)


You disagreed with the point which I never made ("spacing produces clutter"), putting words into my mouth ("you argue").


You mentioned visual clutter, and then your first bullet point was about too much spacing. Clutter--according to the OS X dictionary you cited earlier--refers to a jumble or tangle of items, implying that they are close together. That's the discrepancy he was referring to.

His posts were completely non-hostile, so aren't you overreacting?


You come off as far more angry than is warranted for this conversation.


Totally agree with both of you.

Tumblr is one of the simplest api's I have ever worked with, though. To decide not to use it because there isn't some one-click dashboard csv export or migration tool.. that's such a weird decision. That's like saying I don't want to use [redacted social networking site] because it doesn't feature [one-click-tool] to move to [alternative redacted social networking site]. I mean, I guess. But, if your concern is about ownership of the data and you're treating their service/app as a datasource, I'm sorry but you're going to have to get your hands a little dirty to export that data into your preferred format.
