It's too unpolished yet to present it to the public. For example it tries to change tenses unnecessarily or guesses wrong pronouns with obvious clues. But I support this project. Grammarly is too rigid in its suggestions despite being

I agree with the above. Having a local adblocker turned better for me as I could temporary disable it if some site breaks due to it or quickly add a rule if it missed something, while a separate device is just a hassle to debug or you need

How about zipping pure text or Markdown files, splitting them into QR-code sized chunks (1.5-3KB), converting them to QR-codes and printing all those on a single paper sheet? You can choose their sizes depending on how redundant you want th

It's like 3 or so lines in userscript if you really need it. In general case most modern browsers allow an alternate way of opening a tab in background, e.g. middle mouse button click, so this gives users a method of control over what

Install a 3rd party system-level firewall and block every outgoing activity excluding your necessary apps, browser and DNS.

It's kinda difficult to explain in a short reply format. Try googling "walking meditation" and researching how it's done properly. I prefer doing it vipassana way but there is quite the variation in practice. Basically y

I use short meditative kind of walks in a park instead to the same effect.

How does that work behind NAT if it doesn't show signs of supporting something like TSP?

Full-text voice recognition is CPU intensive though, so one can expect mobile that's doing that all the time to drain its battery pretty fast in a noisy environment which should be rather obvious.

I don't use Yandex Search for years already. Because all results I got from it were pages of clever SEO-spam while relevant links lost somewhere far away which started being annoying very fast. Google with its recent decrease of search

I won't use Chrome after that, except for headless automation and debug.

Why not both with an options switch? Everything has its uses.

Or just offload their servers cause infinite scroll makes the process of loading additional pages mindlessly faster and much less cumbersome.

by sovok_x 5y ago
There are multiple browser extensions for generic infinite scroll, like AutoPagerize, AutoPatchWork etc. so...

I actually browse Hacker News with infinite scroll through AutoPagerize userscript. ;D

And a few more possibly good tweaks, it could also: - be pausable, allowing to reach the page's footer - be resumable from the latest viewing point on page reload - modify current URL periodically - preload new data slightly before rea

I feel like it's a result of bad UX design if users ask same things over and over again. StackExchange's engineers were quite ingenious by automating answer suggestion and finding possible duplicates even before someone gets to th

This article describes Insider build, is the same true for normal ones? I can see why what is basically beta version would require constant telemetry and feedback.

Well, if they reproduce pre-Proton UI, Developer Tools and userChrome.css this way I'll just use it without complaints, despite being former diehard fan of Firefox. Because when they killed XUL addons and started messing with UI/U

Walking for 30min~2h without reading or listening music from my phone everyday before sleep helped in my case. Just needed to avoid places with car exhaust from busy roads.

Yeah, it's difficult for non-specialist in psychology that isn't dedicated to do major soul-search and change their entire life to do something here. It's better to have a guidance of gestalt psychologist or so, they can try

I'd love to see duckduckgo to add toggleable site sorting by their common page sizes without media as a second priority, at the least.

I opted to keep using 10 version because 11 both looks like shit (detached tabs, some strange UI tweaks etc) and works like shit (ublock, stylish broken in previous builds). Better to only update tor's core exe.

> The thing is, sometimes people are in a crunch and do need something from you. That’s not ideal, but it shouldn’t be considered actually outright hostile. This is true. But another thing is that it's normal for some rushed people

No, from my experience, many people consider short reply to a long message a sort of dismissal of their effort, and if it uses slang it seems doubly offensive.

TLDR: don't be passive-agressive and don't pressure the respondent.

Not just relearn. For example it annoys me very much when they change tabs to this for no reason.
