OMG, thank you so much, I was getting super irritated by the new design which I didn't ask for.

Exactly. Claude in a VM is the way to go.

Arcane and nerdy is a good description of OSMAnd. That's why I love it and would never switch to anything else.
Thanks for the reminder that this shouldn't be taken for granted. I am a German and sometimes this privilege feels so normal that it's unthinkable that it could be different elsewhere in the world.
Cool! As a fellow explorer, I would love to try this! Is it on GitHub?
Have you open-sourced this? I am intrigued!
German works great on Kagi, no problems at all.

Feminine? What on earth? How can an NGO have a gender? And more importantly, why does it need one? I like your comment, but the word "feminine" is really sexist, as if everything female was of less value.
As someone who lived there for many years, I would dare to contradict you. There is beauty in the many shades of grey.
You read my mind, I was exactly looking for that!

How does your site generate movies? Does it pick random ones from IMDb? If so, more movies would probably come up, even the ones less known. Or did you (developer) make a conscious selection? If so, what is your selection based on?

I think the app and the data it contains is good as it is. I would just occasionally like to check data from IMDb such as actors, directors, similar movies and all the stuff one can find on IMDb. A mere link to IMDb could provide more info to those who want it, without polluting your already great site with more data.

Nice, I like it and can see myself using it. It would be even better if there was always a link to IMDB.
I would love it if this extension was made for Firefox!

I love the fact that I can customize absolutely everything. The AUR (Arch User Repository) is also amazing and has probably every installable package on earth.
