b0dhimind··on Paged Out #6 [pdf]
A vertical monitor
b0dhimind··on Playwright Tools for MCP
How can we use this with Cursor agent?
b0dhimind··on Sharing My USPS Mail Alerts Apps Script
Cool! Sometimes I scan and delete the email as soon as it comes through. Will this just keep the email in the inbox?
b0dhimind··on Show HN: My Attempt to Organize the World of AI Dev Tools
So much paid stuff... and so many questions... mostly though what are the best "Free AI Stack" for various uses?

I don't mind copy-pasting stuff, especially when there's that cool tool to copy paste entire-directories and usually only work with one script at a time.

Currently been using VS Code and copy-pasting to ChatGPT (others seem to have much conversation limits, output limits, weak knowledge base, etc.). Was even thinking of buying CoPilot $10 tier but it has terrible (response length limits)[https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-copilot-release/issues/3...].

b0dhimind··on Control your attention on the web – Block sites on certain days and times
I'd be interested if there was something for this at the router level with specifying specific devices. Too weak otherwise.
b0dhimind··on Chrome disabling uBlock Origin is a serious security threat
I think it's mainly having to set it up. Which isn't that much work for basic users but still entails: making a new account (Mozilla), data migration, installation on other devices, add-on installation, syncing, configuration, etc.
b0dhimind··on A look at Firefox forks
I'd still take the crypto casino Firefox over Chrome :-D JK. But yeah my main issue is performance. I honestly like the AI features, dunno why people so triggered over that. Don't think it affects performance at all. The privacy invasion I need to look into more, maybe only inasfar as it affects performance as well.
b0dhimind··on Does iOS have sideloading yet?
AltStore or jailbreaking ftw. Functionality + ad-free life > security
b0dhimind··on A fiscal crisis is looming for many US cities
DOGE needs to take a look at this. Government jobs are totally unfair.
b0dhimind··on All Kindles can now be jailbroken
I have a lot of PDFs and this is the most interesting. Do you use the Calibre KOReader add-on to sync and manage? Does that work well? Do deletions of books sync? Does highlighting annotation work/sync fine? I would make the move just for that alone since SendtoKindle is kind of basic.
b0dhimind··on RFK Jr Will Be Confirmed as Secretary of Health and Human Services
He's always been for scrutiny and freedom over these choices.
b0dhimind··on I Switched to Firefox and Never Looked Back
Sidebery/TST is the main reason I use FF but this article points out a lot of other reasons I forgot I liked so much: keyword searching, the Library window, and other browser customization... looking forward to the AI features when they come to the main release.
b0dhimind··on The new science of controlling lucid dreams
Any budget-friendly lucid dreaming devices that work?
b0dhimind··on Study reveals blood sugar control is a key factor in slowing brain aging
Is there a CGM that's not disposable and not prescription or subscription?
b0dhimind··on Why shouldn't you give money to homeless people?
Short answer that is missing: we pay taxes for welfare.
b0dhimind··on Study offers clues into when and why mosquitoes bite
O+ and they bite me a lot too...
b0dhimind··on The unknowns surrounding the mysterious rise of cancer in young adults
<in a snarly medical tyranny voice> NIE, you will have zeh vackzine!

Jokes aside though, how is it that hard for people to connect the dots of what happened after "covid"? I guess because there are many other causes for cancer that have also increased since 2019 (poorer sleep quality, worse diets, depression, social isolation). But then again, forcibly injecting something with known carcinogens, into your blood that has since caused athletes and children to immediately collapse and die (or later on from myocarditis) should be overwhelming evidence of something akin to genocide.

b0dhimind··on The Atlantic is cooling at record speed and nobody knows why
Solar flares... will be an ice age after it cools down.
b0dhimind··on I'm funding Ladybird because I can't fund Firefox
Seriously, why isn't there a legitimate Mozilla fork we can fund instead? There are a lot of addons that will take decades to emulate, like Sidebery, the main reason I switched to Firefox and am staying on cool until a good fundable Firefox fork (like Vivaldi for Chromium).
b0dhimind··on Ladybird Web Browser becomes a non-profit with $1M from GitHub Founder
Firefox user here... if you can do good on tree style tabs like the Sidebery add-on, let us know!
b0dhimind··on Ladybird Web Browser becomes a non-profit with $1M from GitHub Founder
Impeding content blockers like uBlock Origin.
b0dhimind··on YouTube experimenting with server-side ad injection
Sounds like Sponsorblock will become the new AdBlock!
b0dhimind··on Apple must open iPadOS to sideloading within 6 months, EU says
I would be so happy to not have to install and refresh AltStore and "developer apps" for emulation and what-not... which is what I think this means?
b0dhimind··on Why do people bother with open source?
But why is it not mentioned that open-source software is usually things that the developers themselves use in their life for productivity or otherwise. For example, useful browser add-ons like TST or Sidebery. God knows how many cool things (scripts, programs) people use in their personal lives (that they don't get paid for) that they could "open-source" and share with the world and synergistically build to even greater heights. I guess it takes some work to make it modular enough for the public...
b0dhimind··on High coffee consumption, brain volume and risk of dementia and stroke
Still experimenting with about ~20mg of coffee every other day. Great as part of my pre-workout (as indicated by Huberman's podcast) especially with fats. If I don't add the fats, I definitely feel the edginess and jitteriness...

I don't really need it though, wondering if I'm better off just avoiding it? Heard of many other longevity and neural benefits... something I was expecting in this pretty empty study. Self-experimenting continues...

b0dhimind··on Not a single person living in the moment
People either want to compassionately share the moment with others, which is wonderful and part of our humanity... or they want to build up their ego from it. Maybe both. Most illnesses are like that.

Also, let's not completely demonize it because people actually remember moments more when taking pictures.

b0dhimind··on YouTube punishes ad-blocker users with slower videos on non-Chrome browsers
I have Firefox with no premium and a lotta stuff running on Youtube when I load (ublock, Youtube Enhancer add-on, and a few Tampermonkey scripts)... it only takes a second. Maybe they are slowing down premium users?
b0dhimind··on Rapid Covid tests miss 90% of asymptomatic cases
We are all "asymptomatic" with something. Asymptomatic people don't spread as easily anyways. Typical fearmongering tyranny propaganda to inculcate fear into society, simultaneously scaring unhealthy people and leading to policies to inhibit healthy people.
