I just enabled it via about:config with the option browser.profiles.enabled, but it didn't show my existing profiles that appear on about:profiles.

I think one thing that is missing from emacs/org-mode is the mobile integration. There are apps that handle some features of org-mode on mobile, but probably missing features of the desktop version. Currently, I manage my notes only on the desktop because I haven't found a good companion on mobile.

It’s crazy that an extension is needed to fix this. When I first saw that “feature” I thought it was some bug and YouTube would fix soon, but they don’t seem to care about it.

I’m still using as a secondary device, but the battery was never the same after I replaced, and the touch id/home button doesn’t work anymore, so I have to use that virtual home button.

I ended up getting a newer SE (2022), but I miss the first one.

Thanks for rdx, it’s the way I use reddit nowadays.

I have only used OffChess briefly but one feature request I have is to remove the possible path of the piece when clicking on it (like Lichess).

Another improvement would be the placement of the “next puzzle” button, that seems to be in a crowded place.

Thanks for sharing this, not very discoverable, I think. The first issue I got is that I can't remove extensions from the sidebar.

It seems to be fine, though. I wish they'd make a better tab switcher, something like Mac OS's Spotlight, maybe improve the `Ctrl+L + % + space` thig.

Tried a little bit, it seems nice, but it is a bity janky on iOS. Feels like I'm using a web app, and some features require subscription/account.

I tried to use it but I found the UI/UX confusing, with many exercises lacking images too. I support the idea but the workflow was not for me.

I settled with Iron for iOS, which is also free software despite the platform it runs. Still looking for an equivalent on Android, the LiftLog app seems to have potential, but I think the UI is not that great.

It would be great if they consider power purchasing parity to make the service more accessible for developing countries.

AiAi — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 11:50:03 +0000

I guess... Still a positive thing that they are trying to make their product/service more "fair", and are progressing in a good direction?

This guy is now behind two of the products that I wish the most: the Small Android Phone and the Pebble watch. I hope they succeed! :)

Trying this since YouTube just started blocking my ad blocker. It seems to be working well on Linux.

I didn't find a feedback button on the app itself, so if the authors are reading, some things I miss from using YouTube's website:

- Videos in new tabs; - Search bar always visible.

Updated to the new version of Synapse to try Element X, but went back to the regular app due to the lack of features, particularly the image resolution prompt when sending media.

Also have been using this for years (even knowing that there's this feature built-in in the Notes app).

New comment by AiAi in "Show HN: Free tool to find RSS feeds, even if not linked on the page"

AiAi — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 15:49:48 +0000

Interesting. These days I was trying to subscribe to some blogs, and they didn’t have a RSS button in their page, so I had to inspect the page to find out the feed URL. Not sure why keep a RSS feed but hide from the visitors. It could be it expected the feed reader to be able to identify it, but since I was using Thunderbird it did not.

New comment by AiAi in "Hurl 5.0.0, the Parallel Edition"

AiAi — Sun, 01 Sep 2024 01:31:18 +0000

I've been trying Hurl as a replacement of restclient.el and verb.el for a while, so maybe I could recommend to my team.

It seems to have potential, but it still not as convenient as the other modes since I did not integrate it into my editor yet, even though hurl-mode.el exists, it's not compatible with the Emacs version I use.

I wish a plain text format like this was a standard for HTTP requests, and the tools would be developed around it, maybe this will be the one.

There is AppImageLauncher [0] that can make it easier to get launcher shortcuts.

AiAi — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 22:31:20 +0000

I was surprised to know that it's only for Windows 11. I can't remember a program that launched without supporting the previous version of Windows. It seems to have a workaround to install it on Windows 10, but I guess I don't want to try it that bad.

New comment by AiAi in "Firefox 125"

AiAi — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 18:35:12 +0000

I also miss this feature, I hope they have that on their roadmap. But the whole UI is kinda janky to me, sometimes it flashes when I'm interacting with it, and the closing tab gesture seems to have a sensitivity issue, sometimes I try to close a tab, and it doesn't close because I didn't swipe enough.

I used to use Marktext and Typora for this.
