On dogs [not] having thoughts, do you say this based on the premise that thoughts are necessarily articulated (internally verbalized)? That seems to be a fairly popular perspective in discussions about human thought. But as to that (not to

This works for me in PurelyMail. This behavior is configurable: https://i.vgy.me/oprwJz.png IIRC it may also be necessary to add the desired sending address as an "identity" in the webmail config of the real mailb

This is quite nice; I've been finding the time to do it every day so far (missed the first few days though) despite lately neglecting wordle/revealed/etc. In my case the email reminders are useful and effective. Any plans for

At some point I started just installing ABP/uBO without even bothering to ask/tell them, if I had the opportunity. So far my reads seem to have been correct regarding whether this would conflict with each person's typical web

As they say, ignorance of the law is [generally] no excuse; "knowingly" and "intentionally" here are about knowing what you're doing and meaning to do it, rather than whether you know it's illegal. This section

The em dash (at least from an American perspective) is the "regular dash". Referring constantly to the "em dash" is a new thing; in my experience, it used to be understood that "dash" by default referred to t

More to the point, even if you type fast enough to transcribe the lecture (or you know steno or pen shorthand or whatever), transcribing simply doesn't do the job of note-taking. (I speak from direct experience -- I did audio transcr

Oh, neat. From the demo, it looks like it retains faster movement during strafe-running. And edge-jumping (and presumably crouch-jumping) as well, or is that a different thing being used?

I used to do audio transcription and some video captioning. Found it a bit drudgerous and fatiguing in rather specific ways, but I was effective at it and could find some satisfaction in it. It's been some years now, so I haven't
