You just have a 64 character hash assigned to you when you first start. It's technically public, but hard to guess, so it can be used "as an account". And that's fine for my purposes too. Anyway, the bookmarklet works on firefox desktop, so I'm honestly probably doing something wrong on mobile.

Not too big of an issue though, as I did hack together a small tasker thing that does exactly what I need for the moment and works perfectly... Surprisingly.
EDIT: Using the bookmarklet requires more interaction than just using the share functionality from android which is why I was leaning that way first. If you can get a bookmarklet to work, it sounds like a good workaround if you don't want to use tasker.

Kind of an XY problem, so I'm hoping that I'm just missing something stupid simple.
I found this tool (which is super cool) rss-librarian and I'm looking to make it stupid simple to send things I find on my phone to the url associated with my "account". I already have a bookmarklet set up in firefox on my laptop.
First thought was that I could use the "share" ability to simply share a cool link with a URL, but that seems to require some dev work. Second thought was to use Tasker to script something out, but that's looking to be a medium level of complicated. So, hopefully, there is something simple that I'm missing or don't know about that I could do to use this functionality from my phone.
Any suggestions? If not, I'll have to learn tasker :(

Comment on Why do RSS readers look like email clients? in ~tech

I'm actually doing just that currently. Well, technically I consume my rss feeds using a phone client, but that at least allows me to filter my articles in the way that i like (oldest first). I have FreshRSS set up on my home network and I connect to it using Read You android RSS reader. FreshRSS (is PHP based :/) allows you to set custom sorting and filtering rules from what I remember of my short time going through the docs.

Comment on The Caesaroni - Caesar salad on a pizza roll in ~food

Completely by...I've been following the Sandwich Tribunal's RSS feed for some time now, but have yet to officially try any of the sandwiches they've reviewed. That all changed with "The Caesaroni". Completely by happenstance, I looked at the upcoming sandwiches for the month of November and saw one from Toronto, Canada. What? I was going to Toronto for a wedding that week! What perfect timing!
We get to Toronto on Wednesday, and I immediately start gassing up Vilda's, talking about the sandwich to anyone in my family who will humor me. I annoyed the ever-loving hell out of everyone in that airbnb. Finally, they relented (because the rest of Vilda's menu looked pretty good too) and we got Doordash to grab it for us.
First up, my rating. I would give it a 6.5 out of 10. That doesn't mean much without context about how I rate things, but for the record, I thought it was a solid sandwich. I think it would have been closer to a 7.5 had I been able to eat it fresh at Vilda's but the schedule we were operating on allowed little time to dally. Regardless, they did a bang up job and I'll definitely try to get it fresh if I'm ever in Toronto again.
As an aside, I had an (different) amazing sandwich while I was in Toronto, that I paid a hefty price for. I go to the wedding (previosuly mentioned), enjoy myself, and then get back home absolutely starving because they only had appetizers around instead of a full meal. Oh well.
It's 1 in the morning, I'm drunk as a skunk, and I need something in my belly so that I can make it through the night. Everything I wanted to try my street was closed, so I open up google maps and find Oxtail Pho & Bahn Mi. Drunk me says, "sick" and leaves the house still in my dress shoes, to make the 45 minute round trip to pick up a bahn mi sandwich. My heels still haven't fully scabbed over yet, let alone heeled (heh), but I can say the Bahn Mi I had was a 9 out of 10. So try that one out too if you're in the area.

I'm curious about that chart, I haven't heard anything about a suggested listening path. Would you mind sharing?
I'm a metalhead, so my personal favs out of their discog are 'Infest the Rats nest' and 'Petro-Dragonic Apocalypse', but those obviously aren't "the only good ones". There are some really good songs off their newest two albums as well imo

I really dig the art and the story of this series, especially the story. If anyone's on the fence about trying this out, my recommendation would be to go for it 👍

The link I've submitted takes you to their
/nowpage which does double duty as the blog post listing as well. If you don't like the font they've chosen, there's a little scratchy hash looking thingy on the top right of the page. If you click on that, you'll get smooth regular font again. (I've done this)I think the really interesting part is that this is only the "2-D" version of their page. If you look at the footer you should see a link to click to navigate to the "3-D" version of their site, which I thought was super neat. Finding little gems like this makes me happy, and gives me hope there's still "character" out there to find and enjoy. Kinda similar to whoever posted sizeof(cat) in another thread, that's another cool site that I haven't seen before.
If you all have other cute, personal sites that you've collected while browsing, please drop a link here!

I've been seeing that more and more often. I can't tell you how many times I've had a good flush or straight set up, and I end up falling due to the fact I don't effing pull em! The other hard part I'm seeing is that pairs and such don't give enough points early game. I've gotta hunt for flush/straight/full house early, and only once I've gotten past big blind can I start looking for jokers that give enough mult to make pair/two pair worth it

From what I remember reading from his previous posts, h-mo isn't necessarily saying that his terminal emulator is "the best" in a category, but maybe better than average in all the categories? (Checked the about page for Ghostty, it's close enough to my interpretation I feel.)
As far as (q?)uake mode, it does support it, except for Gnome users
