Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, because it celebrates the harvest and can be treated as a day for gratitude. My family also calls it T. Hanks Giving and celebrates by eating pie and watching Tom Hanks movies.

I’m thankful for many things, this year my puppy. He has been great for my family and my mental health personally. For what are you thankful?

Interesting new logic analysis channel on the scene and it seems very well done.

I find the hard puzzles take a long time too.

Said of Mozilla’s recent change to terms and privacy.

I like smooth scroll. I love Neovim. So I use Neovide. But I really wanted a nice way to manage instances per git repository / project, including server / remote socket management and allowing files to be opened into the correct instance. It detects running instances and opens into or switches to them accordingly.

This is also integrated into Finder and open via a swift wrapper. So one can, for example, use raycast to quick switch projects.

Check it out if that sounds interesting. There is also a longer video guide on the Usage wiki.

This has gotten some attention, especially about a week ago, but I really hope more people will continue to try it and, if interested, support it. It is Firefox, but heavily modified to please a different audience that prefers a slightly different UI than Firefox. It has some of the appeal of Arc, Vivaldi, and the Sidebery extension.

In my view, it is very promising, and all competition in this space is good. Here it is on Github, also.

When you copy the URL for sharing in YouTube, it adds a query parameter now, so=blah, for tracking the source. This removes that. It could of course be smarter and stop at either the end or the next parameter, but since I haven’t seen any extras, I just remove everything after.

I am especially interested in the initial migrations into the Americas 15,000+ years ago, but our community is small and my interests large, so... any great documentaries are welcome.

Please, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, allow us to disable this chapter skipping feature (the one where tapping left or right to bring up the scrubber, then double tapping the other direction because 100% of people want to skip that direction some unit time - 10 seconds by default). This ends up feeling random and is just vexing.

It is the worst feature added to any software, maybe ever in the history of computing. How many hours are wasted trying to figure out where one was in this video? How much power and network bandwidth is consumed fighting this feature that I’ve not seen a single comment online of anybody benefitting from ever.

This feature is adding to human suffering by wasting energy and damaging people psychologically. Go please, look online, and consider castigating the creator of this feature in the public square. And then take a good hard look at yourself for not stopping this evil from ever being added in the first place.

Yours aye, Sane People
