  • This is terrible news. I also have a keyboard-centric workflow and also make heavy use of keyword bookmarks. I too use custom bookmarklets containing JavaScript that I can invoke with a few key strokes for multiple uses including:

    1: Auto-expanding all nested Reddit comments on posts with many comments on desktop.

    2: Downloading videos from certain web sites.

    3: Playing a play-by-forum online board game.

    4: Helping expand and aid in downloading images from a certain host.

    5: Sending X (Twitter) URLs in the browser bar to Nitter or TWStalker.

    And all these without touching the mouse!

    It’s really disappointing to read that Firefox could be taking so much capability in the browser away.



  • The movie was entertaining enough, and I liked the director’s previous work. I watched the Extended version on the Blu-Ray and I liked his commentary as well. The guy who played Orlok was great, I think all the actors did a good job, great atmosphere. My issue is with the ending. The group goes to destroy Orlok’s crypt and only kills his henchman Herr Knock in his coffin. But that was all a distraction really. Orlok ends up dying because he simply lost track of the time while seducing and having sex with Lily-Rose Depp’s character. That’s it! He’s a vampire who will die if he’s up past daybreak and he simply is so horny that he forgets to leave before sun-up and dies as a result, along with Depp’s character. He wasn’t being chased by the vampire hunters or anything. Just forgets to keep track of the time. I thought that was anti-climactic.


  • There is almost too much choice with Lemmy apps to make an easy decision. I mostly use Jerboa on Android. I prefer a free app, as in beer, and the interface is nice and clean. It also has a nice trade-off between the size of the text when looking at multiple posts in compact view and the size of the text when looking at a single post and the replies underneath it. Some of the other apps I tried the text size while changeable, can be either too big or too small for one or the other.
