Hey owjuhl, just a friendly heads up that the Github and LinkedIn icons in the footer don't have URLs yet, just hashtags.
I'd love to move to Apple, but muscle memory is a real PITA. I just can't seem to overcome that obstacle, no matter how small. I always seem to find my way back to 'good old' Android/Windows. It's almost like an abusive relationship.
Hey thanks, just installed it! These are all super useful additions.
Thanks for the opt-out link. Weirdly, step 3 is missing, there's no Amazon Sidewalk link in my app.
That's exciting! Is there a place I can sign up to be notified when it's released?
I just went ahead and set up a Google Alert: https://www.google.com/alerts

> I purchased a lifetime subscription (limited promo offer) with mxroute.com.

At the risk of stating the obvious, note that 'lifetime' refers to the lifetime of the company, not the customer. Which underscores the risk of buying lifetime subscriptions.

And as much as I like the idea of avoiding recurring costs (I have a 'lifetime' Plex pass), it seems to me that these can't be sustainable for the company on the long term.

As does "Hey Cookie", though it might just be because of my Dutch accent.

I never understood the need to name suspects - address and all - in this country.

In my home country suspects that are (or are about to be) charged and convicted with a crime have their last name abbreviated (e.g. Paul S.), which seems completely reasonable to me. You're innocent until proven guilty, for one. But even if you're guilty and convicted, your punishment should be limited to whatever the judge rules it should be.

I don't see the need for public shaming beyond whatever punishment they get in court should they be convicted. When someone is released after a prison sentence they have a right to resume their life. They did their time, after all.

Sorry if I sound like I'm rambling a bit, English is not my native language.

This is such a simple yet great idea, I love it. It was featured on Product Hunt as well: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/drive-listen

Mind blown. I had no idea.

This is great!

Looks amazing! You don't happen to have any kind of write-up, do you? WOuld love to read more about how it came about.

This is super helpful, thank you!

If this is true (and it sounds sensible to me), then why not just give the vocal minority a way to opt out? This way everybody's happy.

Agreed. It seems there's no business model for third party email clients to ensure its continued development.

Sigh.

I realize this kind of defeats the purpose, but I applied just a tiny bit of CSS (and Open Sans) to make it look slightly better. Here's the userstyle in the hope it's useful to some:

How about equipping them with wireless charging? Its charging station could be a little bowl that you'd drop 'm in at night before you go to bed. Easy as pie.
Re:Grooveshark co-founder, 28, found dead in home on Tuesday July 21, 2015 @02:43AM (#9920829)
I never knew him and scarcely used GrooveShark. But reading through these comments it is clear we've lost a wonderful guy. Very sad this happened to him. Rest in peace, Josh.
You should consider putting up a screenshot.
