I love how you styled the interface. The UI elements are minimalist and great looking. Did you take inspirations somewhere, or was it a from-scratch design?

Actually, what is continuity anyway, your consciousness is an emergent phenomenon updating itself every Planck time!

I share your observations and concerns. But I don't think the current erosion of digital privacy and the censorship creep were made to address those. There are better ways (even though they are not fully fleshed out yet) to minimize toxic/populist influence, but a blank cheque to sacrifice our rights isn't one.

OpenAI employees put knives on their own necks to demand Altman to get back and be their boss [1], not too long ago, right? Altman wiggles his tongues and makes them a solid paycheck. "We will not be divided," unless the water boils slow enough. Wait for a few months, he will renegotiate the terms with DoD, just like his move to turn OpenAI into a for-profit.

Wow thanks for posting this, this was how I found out about it being on life support. I've been using it since ages ago and have no complaints. It's lightweight, fast, accessible anywhere, no frills and functional. It's the notepad.exe on web for me.

None of the current line up of alternatives are lightweight enough, it seems.

For those who tried it, how good is the Calc (Excel equivalent) and Impress (PowerPoint equivalent)?

With the arccos it would be uniform. It only bunches towards the poles when you pick phi as pi v.

Are they going to pay tax on the withdrawal? No way to avoid it, right?
