Vivaldi 8.0 2 months ago

I am not sure how this is relevant?

I am talking about limited width of the address bar (when it’s part of the right column with tabs, taking a third of screen’s width at max), not its height or any other elements.

Vivaldi 8.0 2 months ago

Looks better than expected.

I just wish the address bar were expanding fully to the right when selected, with the "Show Full Address" setting on and right-side vertical tabs. Otherwise, one has to jump around the visible part of the address bar in order to find the right part.

Edit: details.

Personal anecdote: removing a lower wisdom tooth that was close to the jaw nerve nearly cured my tinnitus back in the day.

The surgeon dentist was really surprised by this and could not evoke any similar cases in their practice before mine.

One thing I heard from some of my friends as a reason why they don't like using Matrix (via Element clients) was inability to use "stickers" like one can on WhatsApp, iMessage and other messaging apps. Apparently, this was important enough for them to lose interest in the platform over it.

I guess the bar is pretty high for consumer messengers these days?

+1.

I am running a Galene instance via the YunoHost self-hosting package on a small dedicated server (2 cores, 4gb of RAM).

So far it’s much better than I expected, both in terms of latency and the overall video/audio quality. Feels better than Jitsi and even a FaceTime / WhatsApp call.

Was just looking for a more general extension like this, thanks!

Just a small nitpick / feature request: I try not to install extensions that require "Read and change all your data on all websites" permission, so may I ask you to change it to something less general, such as requiring access to specific websites once the corresponding new URL is added to a white list?

I saw some Chrome extensions doing this as of late.

A few interesting quotes about (unaudited) financials:

According to previously unreported half-year disclosures, Telegram had $910mn in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, up from $142mn a year prior.

Telegram’s revenues in the first half of 2025 jumped more than 65 per cent to $870mn, compared with $525mn in the same period the previous year.

Nearly a third of Telegram’s revenue — or $300mn — came from so-called exclusivity agreements (probably related to the toncoin cryptocurrency)

Advertising revenue was up 5 per cent to $125mn in the first half of the year. Meanwhile, premium subscriptions jumped 88 per cent to $223mn, compared with $119mn in the same period in 2024 as the number of paying users rose.

Is it me or the remaining 25% of the revenue sources (222mn of 910mn) are not detailed at all?

A bit concerned about this warning (1):

"IMPORTANT: These binaries are provided by anyone who are willing to build and submit them, they are NOT official. Because these binaries generally not reproducible, authenticity cannot be guaranteed. For your consideration, each download page lists the GitHub user that submitted those binaries."

Given one does not compile their own version, wouldn't this make the privacy trade-off vis-à-vis generic Chromium unacceptable?

From the announcement: "...Due to these restrictions, on September 9, 2024, Notion will no longer provide users located in Russia access to the platform. This includes:... If any billing information connected with the workspace is currently or was previously associated with Russia, the workspace will be terminated. This is necessary for compliance with sanctions, and updating an account’s billing information will not change the restriction."

Same. I find the overall UX of WorkFlowy to be so clean & snappy. This, coupled with the recently introduced linking and mirroring features, puts the whole experience on a different level, personally.

TiddlyWiki 5.1.23 6 years ago

Happy to see the project is still evolving!

Was a happy user of TiddlyWiki 5+ years ago but eventually left when adding too many pictures made that HTML file so bloated it could barely open.

Are there any workarounds for this now in the community? Can I add various files / pics to the wiki and not worry about it bloating? Would appreciate insights on this.

(Meanwhile switched to a set of Markdown-driven directories in a cloud.)
