I have a "system" base that I put on the ribbon. it defaults to "recently created", but I have a bunch of different views for hunting down anomalies too.

I lost so much in money and notes when they decided the books I bought "to own" were now considered "licensed".

They changed the encryption on most of the newer ones so I couldn't even retrieve most.

They also took away USB transfer so I couldn't use the library system in the way I liked.

Now? I own a Kobo which will never touch the internet for the rest of its life and it only contains epubs. One day, Kobo/Rakuten will likely do the same.

They have no product that they can demo but they expect payment in full?

Are they white-labeling this or do they plan to design it if there is interest and ship it "eventually" ?

on round 3+ it feels like it solved the problem and doesn't need to evaluate anymore and it inadvertently uses more effort to create something less random

When I started, AWS was in its infancy and I was just some guy working on a special project.

Now that same account is bound into an AWS Organization.

AWS Changed. My company changed. the policies change out from under you.

Could we just add complex and varied captcha to the comment & posting forms?

His backup plan after the fact seems suspicious as well because he is making it much harder than it has to be.

Between that and a glance at the home page, it feels like someone doing AI vibe work who is not comfortable in the space they are working.

Who is the intended audience? Other vibe coders? I just think its weird that given his backup solution, he likely asked the AI to create it . whatever hot-wash he did for this event was invalidated.

The problem is they hold faces+IDs indefinitely and the ones I needed have breach issues along with indicators of top of the line 2005 era security practices.

So for me, its less about the KYC and more about their inability to KYC responsibly.

You need an optional login. Forcing me to login before I know who or what you are is a deal breaker. Especially if you come here looking for an opinion. My opinion is free. My PII is not as free.

I am not sure it fixed my tab problem, but it improved tab management and overall efficiency.

Omnivore helped a bunch before they shut down. I need to see if any good apps exist that are similar.

People were still amazed that you could do X in 1 line rather than 100 lines. Some people couldn't have done those 100 lines.

So the idea of recipes/spells/hacks was an intentional parallel.

It became a cultural thing. New people wanted to be respected for compact code that impressed people the same way they were impressed.
