Totally unrelated, but I just came across ur comment [0] from last month about indexing ur search history etc, and ik of a couple programs that fill that niche. The first is spygla…

Somewhat ironical, but I'd be a bit more charitable and simply chalk that up to edge cases; additionally it's no different than typical ideological signaling. I find it less intere…

Yea, I dislike that frequent atheist rejoinder cuz it totally misses the point; religion is concomitant and merely used as a pretense. Which I equally dislike, I wish there were mo…

Yea, Spinoza effectively argues that the Commandments were necessitated by practical utility to control the unruly and uneducated masses and have since become even more bastardized…

Awesome, looking forward to starting this! And thanks for all your work Beej

You know, that highlights the idiocy of my workflow. I typically search through my bookmarks or history with Vimium, and not through my open tabs because I want to open the link in…

Haha, I use session buddy for that but I reopen all tabs every time I restart my computer because the fallacious thinking of "THIS time I'll go through some of them!" My above comm…

Love lunar. Dev is super responsive and it has a pretty feature-full cli tool as well which makes it easy to script

> Gentoo's biggest draw for me however is its philosophy and dedication to "choice". Same. I remember when I was going through the install handbook its three stated "design princip…

> I have once been to told to see a doctor or psychiatrist for having a few hundred tabs Yea that's nothing, haha. I currently have 3592 open. Like you mention, research and tab ho…

Disabling js was the only way to make it bearable for me. Breaks some functionality here and there, but for general “browsing” the trade-off is worth it. Eg zero ads, popups, paywa…

iOS FF is pretty subpar. You can’t even crudely disable all js like in safari. Though I still use it, as Brave crashes on launch half the time and refuses to open (1.3k tabs) and s…

Prog house not trance, but Hernan Cattaneo’s Balance Presents Sudbeat Continuous Mix 2 [0] is my absolute go-to as a complement for focusing/thinking etc. Not his overall best work…

Not parent, but Marginalia's list[0] of blogs is a great aggregation. I've also stumbled upon some webrings through some of the blogs (have them open somewhere among my 3000 open t…

Noticed the same recently but with some others such as nitter.tux.pizza but with the main instance working (which I’ve avoided cuz it seemed like it was overrun for a good 1-2 mont…

Super happy for you! Funny coincidence, given we just talked about your “modest” specs last week haha. -“John”

Wasn't aware of that, thanks for pointing that out. And full disclosure, I haven't seen any tiktok book reviews so these are my thoughts on tiktok globally (which is perhaps unfair…

Tin foil hat time: I've started writing down companies behind ads that happen to slip through my defenses that are obnoxious/offensive/etc. Because, as you mention, so much of adve…

> This rings a little hollow to me because as a consumer, wouldn't I have noticed a lack of non-amazon options? You haven’t? What sorts of products do u typically browse/shop for?

A five second clip of is useful. But for anything recommendation/opinion based, tiktok vids are absolutely terrible. There’s not enough time for any nuance and everything is engine…

Same. Started using Apple Maps years ago when I would occasionally hop on a Lyft ebike and have used it ever since

> 3. Along the same lines, selecting or editing, say, a URL from a browser address line is painful. When the URL text exceeds the screen width then trying to get to the end of the …

Did not expect a reference to that viral common projects vid on here haha. Though I did snatch a decently used pair of achilles for $60 and have been my go to for the last three ye…

On my iPhone X I zoomed all the way out and it got the page to render well and scroll to work
