I see canna.to on the list. Amazing, that site already existed when I downloaded MP3s in my early internet days, in 2000. And still looks pretty much the same.

Same though, must be a passion project of some retirees by now.

I publish lots of newsletters containing links to startups, and these TLDs do tend to lead to occasional deliverability issues, with a higher risk of spam classification. So the anti-spam lists and algorithms share your perception of such TLDs being potentially dodgy.

Objectively they aren’t though.

Lots of promising AI startups from Sweden now are gearing up for global conquest (mostly AI apps though, there are fewer foundation & AI infra startups). The success of Lovable fuels this, plus the founder Anton Osika is friends with many of the other founders, so there’s a lot of mutual supporting going on.

The world would be a better place without this shitty company.

Personally I truly, deeply hate AI summaries and so I strongly disapprove of Google’s latest moves into this territory. I know it’s not a comment with substance, but I think the more people express their aversion to this trend, the higher the chances of it not becoming the norm.

Glad back in the days I chose Instapaper and not Readitlater/Pocket. Still using it all the time. It costs money but is worth it.

I’ve never had a reason to visit Yandex but this sounds like one. Thanks for the tip.

And the 20% tipping, please leave that at home too.

The markets, while often right after a while, can be a bit slow. I remember the weeks in February/March 2020. The writing about the upcoming global pandemic was on the wall, yet I had enough time to calmly sell all my stocks during the week before everything came crashing down.

Same slowness with the reaction to Deepseek recently.

I still appreciate TC’s coverage and style quite a lot. The level of overall enshittification in regards to quality and UX is rather moderate. For a 20 year old news outlet with various owners throughout the years, in an industry with rapid, constant changes, that’s an achievement.
