Italy. Then of course not everybody is as lucky as me (e.g. people living in the countryside, or working far away from home), but the majority of people can enjoy having all their basic services at a walking distance. Especially if they live in the city centre.

I can do all of those things with a 5 minutes walk in my European city. And I don't even live in the city centre.

Mixed zoning and walkable cities are the solution.

You don't need to pay for smart TVs, if you have an Android TV you can just install SmartTube Next. It's even better than the official app!

Yeah, I also don't get it. I don't stir pasta, maybe once in the middle. It never sticks.

Too bad Insomnium quickly became a dead project. Luckily, Bruno and its file-based projects are perfect.

Well, they waited for Pocketpair to become big enough to give them money, and not too big to risk losing against them.

+1 for Fossify, great set of apps.

Only some countries need VPNs. If your country doesn't care about piracy (e.g. Italy, Spain or Eastern Europe) just don't bother paying for a VPN.

Is it stable yet to use it? I've seen it and it looks promising, but it's also under active development.

*chef's kiss*

Add a private torrent indexer and/or Usenet and it's perfection.

PurelyMail is a great and cheap service. It's like $10 per year. You just set up some records (MX and TXT) on your domain provider and that's it.

You could also self-host email, but then you need a server that's always powered on and it adds much complexity, so I suggest to use a managed service instead.

The good thing about using your own domain is that you're not tied to any service. You could migrate to any other provider (such as ProtonMail, FastMail, etc.) without ever changing your email address on all services.

 

We've created an updated version of Beeper Mini that fixes an issue that caused messages not to be sent or received. We even added in a few new feature improvements: chats now open at the last unread message, and we polished the video player a bit!

 

We all saw in the news that Simple Mobile Tools got acquired by ZipoApps and they started filling up the free apps with ads.

Luckily, being those apps open source, a new fork has been created.

It's called Fossify. They forked all the apps on GitHub and they have a new maintainer.

Now we just need to wait for their first official release and then... we need to spread the word and make people switch from the old SMT apps to Fossify!

 

An interesting article that explains the importance of using DTOs (Data Transfer Objects) instead of plain associative arrays.
