    I had the same issue specifically with git, for the same reason. You can configure git to not use a pager by setting core.pager to an empty string.

    After experiencing Nintype on iOS many years ago, I can't use any other swipe keyboard anymore. I'm stuck using the stock keyboard for typing, and sometimes (rarely) swiping a word…

    Unrelated to the main point, and probably too late to matter, but you can access repo activity logs via Github's API. I had to clean up a bad push before and was able to find the o…

    Sadly, it hasn't been updated since 2024 and is slowly breaking. Haven't found a good replacement yet.

    For anyone else copy pasting the gradients into dev tools to look at them: The second one is missing the # sign on the first color. And yes, both oklch gradients look pretty weird …

    Cool setup, but the choice of Obsidian is kind of weird in this context (in an interesting way, see next paragraph). Instead of opening a subfolder of the Hugo project in Obsidian,…

    That might be because Kagi currently has "only" 43,508 members, according to their live stats. That number might be too low for you to be able to expect someone in your personal ci…

    By only doing clones to get data from Github, you're losing anything stored in LFS. Run `git lfs fetch --all` inside each repo after cloning to make sure you have the large files, …

    What's creeping me out is that there's zero mention of how the nano-texture display affects pencil use. The nano-texture on the standalone display Apple offered a while back was ve…

    In addition to the already mentioned Command Palette, macro expansion is also available as a quick fix, either by clicking the light bulb icon when it appears, or triggering it via…

    I forgot what people were calling it but this is almost exactly the same idea as that trend where you ask ChatGPT to generate pictures, continuously asking for "more" of some aspec…

    To me, pausing to reflect is less of a problem compared to getting distracted and losing my place or having to read the same paragraph over and over again. Back when I had a 40+ mi…

    Same here. I get irritated when I see people put down their phone without locking it, only to realize theirs will auto-lock. That said, from now on I'll probably have auto-lock tur…

    How does Obsidian's text editing experience compare to VSCode? I'm using VSC for everything at the moment, which includes a workspace roughly structured into GTD categories via sub…

    I just placed digits in the middle of the words instead of replacing them. This way I didn't "break" any overlapping words, and the order of digits is still the same.

    I know this is getting off-topic, but as a non-native speaker, I'm interested in hearing how a third data point would be needed to judge whether things differ "by an order of magni…

    Nintype has ruined all other swipe keyboards for me. Why nobody else has picked up on the idea of twohanded swiping the way Nintype did it is a mystery. Even now, 5+ years after la…

    The reason I don't use wired headphones is that I'd need an adapter for them to work with my iphone. I used to use those adapters (both from Apple and aftermarket ones), but they w…

    I'm a big fan of https://soulver.app/ as a mobile app (not a heavy Mac user, but if I was, I'd get the Mac version too). Sadly it's not available on Windows at all, and the mobile …

    This seems aggressively overpriced for what looks like a very simple GUI on top of sqlite?

    Aren't both MAK and KMS keys for volume licenses, ie not relevant to consumers? Any end user trying to use a KMS or MAK key got scammed by whoever sold that key to them...
