  • I would actually argue that in many ways it's increasing, at least in Pakistan where I have family, although these aren't the only countries with growing fascism and regressive social politics (see lots of Europe and of course the US).

    But your comment was about stories of cultural importance, not race or gender or class; I can't help but feel offended that you would choose to shit on my culture for some reason instead of identifying relevant stories like you did for the other cultures you mentioned in your comment. I agree that those -isms should be criticized, but India definitely caught a stray from your comment.

  • fucking crazy to denigrate South Asia like that when you made the effort to respect culture for all the other regions you mentioned. I guess all the other countries you mentioned don't have a history of racism, classism, nepotism, sexism or religion?

  • Seems cool, but it's currently missing some pretty important languages (Hindi, Urdu, Thai, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Swahili, etc). I'd put up with something limited like this if it was FOSS and/or selfhostable but it appears not to be

  • Just noticed in euclidean geometry, for any two line segments touching at a point there is exactly one triangle you can draw, i.e. a triangle is uniquely described by any two of its legs. In spherical geometry, there are two choices for the third leg!

  • I read somewhere that this phenomenon is so unlikely that if we ever need to represent our planet in an intergalactic context, the solar eclipse would be a good candidate for a symbol to put on a flag [citation needed]

  • Thanks for the detailed explanation, makes a lot of sense! I guess what I did was set up a UEFI entry that specifies the location of the Linux kernel without any intermediate bootloader. Pretty sure I didn't set the fallback, so I'm guessing that's still owned by windows.

  • I love that these extensions exist and in theory they sound awesome. Unfortunately for a few reasons I've never been able to get in the habit of using Tridactyl (or any vim browser addon):

    • it doesn't play nice with Google drive apps (which my company uses extensively), so if I use the vim shortcuts to cycle between tabs and open a Google doc, the next time I try to cycle tabs it will instead start typing in the document. (Alternatively I would never be able to interact with Google docs without manually enabling ignore mode)
    • hint mode works really well for some sites but a lot of sites have multiple anchors close together (eg one for an icon, one for text and one behind both) which leads to longer hints and difficulty figuring out which hint to actually use
    • Firefox doesn't allow you to rebund the default "/" search (quick find) cycle keys. The default is c-G for next (not sure about previous); I would like to use n/N

    On simple and well-designed "dumb" webpages it works amazing. I wish more sites were designed that way, but unfortunately a lot are made with the assumption of a mouse/touchscreen :(
