Both! Something I've enjoyed about the kindle ecosystem is the ability to seamlessly bounce back and forth between Audible and Kindle, picking up where you left off on either platform. I've been missing this since I switched to KOReader.

My general workflow is to listen while doing chores or driving, read when I can.


Ha! I actually switched from Vimium to Tridactyl partly because I prefer the rough, snappy scrolling. It felt much more like the ctrl+d ctrl+u navigation in VIM.


I never started with Vimium (was using an even less known one), also in part because I find smooth scrolling disorienting. Also on Tridactyl now, once someone on here showed me the hintfiltermode, hintchars, and hintnames settings to get the old Vimperator behavior (which I also find so much better than any current defaults):

  set hintfiltermode vimperator-reflow
  set hintchars 1234567890
  set hintnames numeric
Lets you type the words in links, and the hints filter down to only matches. If you go all the way to 1 match it automatically picks it, but as the hints filter down the numeric labels also reset - so there are no gaps betweeen the numbers and it's almost always between 1 and 5 to get the link I want.


I wouldn't say it is unusable lol. Many people don't need to sync. My work notes for example stay on my work computer.

For those that want to sync without paying, many use syncthing, though I don't think this is a feasible workaround for iOS users.

There are some other syncing methods that I haven't really looked into.


Seconding this. I use Obsidian and Obsidian Sync for personal stuff, but my employer doesn't allow Sync, so I use Obsidian very happily as a standalone on my work computer. The work vault simply never gets exposed to the outside world (we don't allow USB memory devices either).


Hamburger menu > more tools > add new profile

Once you have more than one profile, you'll see the switcher in the top right.

Also, turn off all crypto/ai stuff in settings. I did and I never see it.

It's really not that much.


I just start Librewolf with -P and keep profiles in separate windows. Easy, already fully supported, and allows things like different themes to highlight the fact I am using different profiles.


I switched from Raindrop to Linkwarden. The reading/annotation is not as smooth but I don't really use it for that. It's self hostable and has integration with floccus for bookmark syncing with a browser.


Does it support tagging?


Yes. If you're into it, it has an AI tagging feature that will add tags based on content.


It blows my mind what slow momentum Amazon has for a company with such vast resources. Kindle, for example, lacks so many features to enhance the reading experience. Jailbreaking my kindle and installing KOReader was a game changer.


They just don't care enough. User experience only needs to be "good enough", mostly determined by the question of users will tend to terminate the subscription without the feature or with the bug.


As someone who discovered Johnny Cash late (in the past decade) I was really surprised to find out that Johnny Cash covered Hurt by Nine Inch Nails, and not the other way around. I never considered the time overlap in their careers.


Cash covered a number of songs, another notable example was of Nick Cave's The Mercy Seat.

I don't think your modification really changes anything from the original comment.


OP implies that increased far-right polling is one element of the country losing all sense.

this response implies that the country has lost ass sense and thus far-right polling has increased as an attempt to get back to sense.


Um, no. Sensible people don't support the far right. The country has lost all sense, so there are fewer sensible people, so the fools who vote for the far right are on the rise.


After rereading it with the sibling comment in mind, the swap does make sense in that it subtly shifts the implied causality of the surge in far right polling. My bad for misunderstanding, thanks for the clarifications!


i'm not debating your position. i'm clarifying that the rephrasing did have meaning, and explaining to you what that difference is.

your politics are none of my business.


I was the one who did the rephrasing. I was clarifying its meaning for you.


that's hilarious. well I've been outed as the knob here.


I'm laughing too. Thanks for that.

In all honesty, I thought I was being clever by swapping the sentences around to reverse the meaning, but I didn't spot the ambiguity.


This right here. I haven't seen any progress on it since they purchased it really


Strange that their progress distribution chart shows a lower percentage (36%) which happens to be the correct one: https://www.project2025.observer/visualize/charts
