@ira_joseph @ColumbiaUEnergy Would you mind saying more please?

[Irshaad Vawda @irshaadv]

@eugenewei I first learnt about the concept of "cultural determinism" from your 2020 essay on TikTok. I was wondering if you could point to any good writing on it as a concept if possible please?

[Irshaad Vawda @irshaadv]

@themmmoussa @tarteelAI I'm speaking as a total non-dev here, so forgive me.

But perhaps we could create an open source dataset of the 13 line script that can then be used by other apps?

I'd happily plug away as a mechanical turk on this

[Irshaad Vawda @irshaadv]

@themmmoussa @tarteelAI Super interesting, would love to read the blog post.

For those of us patiently waiting for the 13 line Indo-Pak script, I imagine that a ton of work needs to go into a new script.

Is there a world in which we could crowdsource this work?

[Irshaad Vawda @irshaadv]

@kepano Any thoughts on vibe coding plug-ins in a safe way for us non-devs that want to experiment?

[Irshaad Vawda @irshaadv]

@tarteelAI Salaams. Feature request please : 13 line indopak Mushaf. Would happily go premium for this

[Irshaad Vawda @irshaadv]

@kepano Thanks for responding though!

[Irshaad Vawda @irshaadv]

on firefox this doesn't clip pdfs. Is that on the roadmap? cc @kepano

Save the web.

Obsidian Web Clipper is our new extension that helps you highlight and capture the web in your favorite browser.

Anything you save is stored as durable Markdown files that you can read offline, and preserve for the long term.

Web Clipper makes it easy to shape Obsidian into a recipe book, a personal movie database, a travel planner, or read-it-later inbox. It turns your favorite browser into a sharper tool.

Web Clipper is available for all major browsers on desktop and mobile, including Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Brave, Arc, Orion, and many more. It’s also open source under the MIT license.

@kepano Having some issues getting it to work. I'll figure out where to file a bug report.

Great Initiative though!

[Irshaad Vawda @irshaadv]

@MichelleAkin Specific questions also great, eg "What did X get up today? Did they make any jokes again today?"

[Irshaad Vawda @irshaadv]

@NakedCover_SA hey guys your app is not working. See attached screenshot please. I have uninstalled and reinstalled.

What do I do next? Seems like there is no other way for me to add more items to insure.

[Irshaad Vawda @irshaadv]

@AustinTunnell Very cool! How big is the site?

[Irshaad Vawda @irshaadv]

@natfriedman Firefox + containers

[Irshaad Vawda @irshaadv]

@daylightco Thanks! So essentially the writing experience is the same as the remarkable? And I get you get OCR through whichever app (e.g Obsidian)?

[Irshaad Vawda @irshaadv]

@aaliahmahomed Next step is an appreciation of all the variations of onions

[Irshaad Vawda @irshaadv]

This is such a sobering read. Not because of the Zuma stuff (that too) but because it's a reminder of the high costs of freedom

The replies / quotes on this is why the Internet was invented

[Imogen West-Knights @ImogenWK]

there’s a genre of phrases that sound like they’re from the bible or like paradise lost, but really, really aren’t. like “there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see” which is ofc a jordan peterson tweet about a bottle of evian. what are the others?
