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 spyglass [1], but it's no longer in active…
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 interesting to care about the extent people…
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 more transparency about one's innate will…
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 my current context; not the context…
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 comment did prompt me to seriously start…
Love lunar. Dev is super responsive and it has a pretty feature-full cli tool as well which makes it easy to script

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, paywalls.
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 safari also has a 500 tab limit
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, but for my criteria for focus music…
Super happy for you! Funny coincidence, given we just talked about your “modest” specs last week haha. -“John”
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 advertising is psychological manipulation.…
A five second clip of <the area where thing happened> is useful. But for anything recommendation/opinion based, tiktok vids are absolutely terrible. There’s not enough time for any nuance and everything is engineered…
Same. Started using Apple Maps years ago when I would occasionally hop on a Lyft ebike and have used it ever since

Yea I’d imagine the feed change and Twitter fully embracing low effort memes and jokes for its “virality” effect were a big factor
Haha, there’s that meme about five websites or so that r just screenshots of the other websites. And yea it enables those stupid posts so I try to refrain from engaging
Ok was just wondering because anecdotally images have been a staple of engagement optimizing posts/accounts. E.g. something like ESPN won’t post a minute clip of an interview or simply a transcript excerpt, it’s always…
When was this? Sometime in the last couple of years?
Admittedly as a macOS lifer moving to linux I was a bit confused, or at least couldn’t resonate with the criticisms, specifically systemd (openrc), along with other random overhead and cruft. Then got to the part where…

Not even just playoffs either, I think his rank in that three year RAPM range was fourth or something staggering, after Curry, Lebron, and I think Kawhi? My go-to RAPM site that did all the calculations was taken down…
