I don't do colocation myself, so I don't know what makes a good co-location provider. However, Hetzner has a Colocation offering: https://www.hetzner.com/colocation

Do both the sharing and receiving users need to install the app? If not, it would probably be much easier to start using the app if at least the receiving user could view my screen from their web browser.
Apart from that, I often fall back to https://github.com/adamyordan/laplace when I need to share my screen. It works in the browser and has great image clarity. Sadly, the demo instance is down, so you need to host it yourself. Also, it can have trouble inside some enterprise network/firewall setups.
I've used Taskwarrior (and Timewarrior [1]) for some time and one thing they uniquely do is automatically rank your tasks by a number of factors.
For your tasks, you can set priorities, a deadline, dependencies, and more. Using this information, Taskwarrior computes an urgency score so you can see your most urgent task using:

vstollen commented on SponsorBlock – skip sponsor segments on YouTube sponsor.ajay.app/... · Posted by u/anotherhue
I wish YouTube Premium (and honestly, Spotify too!) had a feature where I could voluntarily commit X additional dollars per month to be directly distributed to the creators I watch according to their share of my total watchtime, with some kind of manual opt-out button for individual videos/creators that I explicitly do not want to support. I am already a member of several Patreons but wish I could cast a bit of a wider support net for the people I watch enough-to-want-to-support-them-but-not-enough-to-join-their-Patreon, yknow?
This somewhat reminds me on the discussions around the Web Monetization API [1] a few years ago.
I still wish for a service that gives me access to all paywalled sites or a way to sending all websites I visit a little money in exchange for them not serving ads.
I bet that’s Europe, it’s not uncommon
Yess, we were the software team for a university library. There wasn't a lot of pressure and people on my team generally had a chill and comfortable life.
However, there wasn't a lot of room for ambition.
This made me think of my first job. I was the sole developer on a project because the old developer left. Nothing was documented and nobody knew why things were designed the way they were.
We had no code reviews, no design docs, no tests, nothing. We made the changes the way we thought they were right and would git pull them onto the production server.
After I struggled to get productive for the first four months, my manager went on a four-week Christmas vacation. In a moment of frustration, I seized the opportunity and rewrote the whole project from scratch. I don’t remember if my manager ever noticed, but that was the moment I finally got productive.
vstollen commented on Apple Maps on the web launches in beta apple.com/newsroom/2024/0... · Posted by u/ingve
What I miss the most from Apple Maps is their lack of user content (at least in Germany). While I can find many pictures and reviews of every tiny store on Google Maps, Apple usually only has a handful of reviews and almost no photos submitted.
For example, I use it add an explanation of what RSS is and some styling to the RSS feed of my personal website [1].
