I'm well aware you might think I'm proving your point with this response.

You are correct. Your comment was mean. Not even sure why you responded aggressively.

Hostile is perfectly correct word to describe some online communities. Do you think the word "hostile" only applies when you meet people physically?

It's complaining for the sake of complaining. Sometimes you need to test the water first. Some online communities are rather hostile after all. As shown by this silly website.

Thank you for the extension. It works well enough for my bookmarks. Just open the bookmarks on my browser and use the "Save all tabs" feature.

I think I'm not the only one who wants an alternative to pocket. A bookmark manager that can archive the links to prevent linkrot.

How to toggle reader mode/readability? It doesn't seem to be able to save pages when I toggled chromium's reader mode on.

I followed the other advice on this thread. In the options:

- Annotation editor > default mode > format the page

- Annotation editor > annotate the page before saving

It automatically format the page into reader mode then I can click "Save the page" icon to save it. But sometimes I want to download the page as is. Like this thread for example. "Restore all removed elements" button doesn't seem to work to revert the changes.

For now I just set default as mode as normal and enable "annotate the page before saving", and then click "Format the page for better readability" when needed.

2. Shiori: Save bookmarks, archive them or use it like pocket.

Thanks for the rec. I've been looking for a pocket alternative. Just a simple bookmark manager that can archive articles. Ideally a desktop app and work offline too. None of that self-hosting stuffs.

I will give Shiori a try.

edit: Never mind. This is not what I'm looking for.

I didn't quit caffeine. I still drink tea. But I mostly stopped drinking coffee a while back.

A few weeks ago, I tried drinking a cup because I needed to be alert/less sleepy, and I felt like shit. Not sure why, headache, some anxiety, and nausea.

I don't know who started the trend. I personally first heard about the term from Mike Acton's CppCon 2004 talk.

But as pointed out by another comment, I don't think it's that mainstream. Outside HPC and game development. At least that's what came up when you google the relevant terms like cache, locality, etc.

Same. I miss pocket's chrome app. Worked great when offline too.

I don't really care about web service. Any desktop tool that can capture websites like pocket? As in download the stripped-down article. They call it "reader view" sometimes.

There's some extensions/scripts like Markdownload that uses Mozilla's Readibility.js to download stripped-down articles. But it's a bit manual for my taste.

I'm pretty sure obsidian can't sort lists. Especially nested multilevel lists. I tried it before and it got too much annoyances without obvious benefits, so I went back to dynalist.

It's silly. But I want these features in my offline personal wiki:

- sortable table like wikipedia's

- sortable list and other list manipulation tools from dynalist/worflowy's

- automatically adding titles when you copy links of articles/videos/etc.

I'd like to think I'm not the only one who mostly uses lists and tables to organize information and notes. Quick googling says org-mode can do the first 2. I tried spacemacs and it was just confusing. One day.
