  • this one is really well written

    “Today, a historic wrong has been righted, and the catacomb of the tempestuous Batibat will again be unsealed,” wrote Alito, laying out a scathing repudiation of Pell v. Bangungot, the highly publicized case that originally entombed the grotesque monster’s sulfurous form in a specially made osmium vault. “Contemporaneous accounts provide no evidence the Founding Fathers envisioned a role for the federal government in vanquishing this unholy entity from the face of the earth.”
















  • 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 :(
