This feels like an example of a company trying to do the "right thing" and deciding there must be a way to monetize that, regarding what everyone (even the web) is telling them.

Imagine the balance of revenue from non-returning users (think fitness) vs very heavy users, and finding a way to keep both parties happy. And the implications it has (those "paused" users still count towards "onboarded" users).

Major props Kagi team, or who-ever pushed this idea!

I didn't even realise mIRC worked on 3.11, wow! It was my first introduction to programming in a way.

It makes me wonder if adding something akin to the script editor you had in mIRC to for instance a game such as minecraft would serve as a good way to introduce people to programming, similar to how mIRC might have..

If you're a bit stable yourself (& used to skateboard yourself), try long-boarding (4 year old in front of you with plenty of protection, there's enough space on a standard longboard to fit an adult & child).

Or biking them in a bicycle trailer to the store/school.

Surfing is one I'm looking forward to myself, I've never done it either myself!

I'm not sure how new the trend is, but it's called gitmoji (https://gitmoji.dev/) and there's also tooling to make committing/searching for the "correct" emoji easier :D Whatever makes your job more fun, right? Oh and it saves on characters!

My wife (mainly, my role has been system user/devops) wrote a custom angular UI on top of grocy for managing our household stock (basically any product we buy at grocery stores), there are two bluetooth barcode scanners and screens which allow you to quickly checkout a product when consumed. Since she started gardening she's also "abusing" the db with custom fields to track when she's planted vegetables, harvested them, etc...

Also over 70% of the lights / 50% of other devices in our house are smart (zigbee/wifi/ble) and are connected to home assistant (I very much recommend tradfri+xiaomi zigbee+home assistant). By now I'm sure we've spend over 200h on our "smart home/life", we love data :)

That's an interesting point you're making. I wonder what the policy is regarding the questions people ask an LLM and the developers behind the service reading through the questions (with unsuccessful responses from the LLM?)
