You mean literally Windows' Notepad? Because that's about the worst app to write on. Not even going to go into how it's almost devoid of useful commands. Make one mistake, you're good. Make two, tough luck, you can only

> Plain text is almost a universal truth Would you mind explaining what you mean by this? I take it you mean it ubiquitous, which of course it is, but as a phenomenon I'd much rather see things that look like they come from the real

Isn't this like saying you can solve every programming problem you have with <insert your favorite Turing-complete language here>? Of course you can, but aren't there any cases where the tradeoffs outweigh the benefits, ev

I feel like I'm slowly becoming a Nix shill, but... Nix is a good alternative as well. Install Nix in one command: sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --no-daemon Then run Magic Wormhole in one c

Maybe, but it may also have something to do with Kagi's "lenses"? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31823317 So it's doubly punny.

The logo does indeed look like a reference to the movie, but A Clockwork Orange is originally a book. Highly recommended btw.

This looks awesome. Unfortunately the pricing is like an order of magnitude higher than what my broke ass can pay for, but I'm truly rooting for them.

Is it feasible to roughly categorize websites (or parts of websites, e.g. subreddits) and then perform full text search on them only, or at least establish priorities? For instance, it's extremely unlikely OP would find anything useful

I mean, they could probably start by having actually useful keyboard shortcuts, instead of 2 pairs of shortcuts that do exactly the same thing (`Ctrl+L` and `F6`; `Ctrl+K` and `Ctrl+E`), and the four together doing almost exactly the same t

Maybe a more apt analogy would be saying people with a sedentary lifestyle are insecure about having to go hunt and fight sabertooths whenever they're hungry and their chickens have been eaten by a fox.

I'm monogamous because people are fucking exhausting to me but I still have some weak emotional needs. Hell, if "halfgamous" were a thing, that's what I'd be.
