- X-Istence 15y agonoprocast doesn't work for me. I have Hacker News added to my "Top Sites" and Safari likes to refresh those every so often. When I did have it enabled I was locked out more often than not making it particularly useless for me. What I have found is that I have started finding a lot of the articles that make the frontpage are boring and I have naturally started visiting less and less.
- bitops 15y agoThat's funny, I've had the opposite experience with the lockout. I figure that if I set the refresh to be reasonably low, it turns into more of an odds thing whether or not I can read HN. And, after a while, I've stopped needing discipline to come looking here.
