Does anyone know of any macOS tool that can search browsing history across multiple browsers?

Each browser saves navigation history. And it can be searched in each of them. I'd like the ability to search across all browsers if possible.

Anyone using a book tracker they enjoy? No goodreads. Preferably one-time payment app. I am a bit scared of subscription based app because I believe I'm at risk of losing my data for not being able/forgetting to pay. 🙌

3 (three). Only 3 light themes for #vim listed. I can bet there are hundreds of dark ones.

Do you have or use any "Awesome *" Git repos for keeping track or finding great tools or utilities? Please do share your favorite ones.

What is the intended meaning when someone is using:

• “I agree” vs “I don’t disagree”
• “Good idea” vs “This is not a bad idea”

I don’t think they are intended to mean the same thing even if at the logic level they are the same.

Is there a way to have a set of plugins for #Neovim, one for #vim, and a common set?

#Neovim Telescope is like junegunn's fzf.vim for #vim but in Lua?

I read @gruber article about the new MacBook Pros. I'm not sure I got what he'll get. The reason I'm wondering about this is that I feel I have similar "requirements" and I would've appreciated his thoughts based on experiencing one of the machines first hand.

@gruber I guess what I'm wondering given you are looking for more RAM: going with the Pro CPU and get the 36GB RAM or go to the Max CPU which comes default with 36GB RAM? Thank you

What are the best websites for #mechanicalkeyboard for Europeans?

I’m looking for a programmable 65-or-70-or-75 new keyboard.

Any suggestions will be very much welcome and appreciated

Is there an app like an RSS reader but for YouTube channel subscriptions?

I struggle with giving people praise. There's always this little voice in my head that says I'm being presumptuous, that I'm not good enough at <whatever> to be commenting on others' efforts, that they don't give a damn what I think, that it will come across as patronizing. I try to err on the side of praising anyway, but I never feel 100% comfortable. Anyone else?

I also have trouble accepting praise, but that's a whole different set of issues.

TIL: Neovide https://neovide.dev

“This is a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform graphical user interface for Neovim (an aggressively refactored and updated Vim editor). Where possible there are some graphical improvements, but functionally it should act like the terminal UI.”

This is awesome! Full text search has come to Mastodon, and it's being rolled out in a responsible way.

I know full text search is a hot-button issue. For journalists, researchers and many others, FTS is essential. Plenty of others have good reason to keep their content unsearchable.

If you're in the latter category, you don't need to take any action. Your toots will remain unsearchable just as they were before.

For the rest, please manually change the default so your toots will be searchable. This will address a major shortcoming that has kept a huge number of fedi holdouts from joining.

To do that, go to Preferences > Public Profile and select the Privacy and Reach tab. Then check the Include public posts in search results.

*** Edit: sorry, my initial post told y'all to click the wrong box. Fixed.

Both Twitter and Unity fuckup stink of machismo and bravado: “I know better and I can ram this and people will accept it”

Never drink the Incompetence flavored kool aid folks.

How do people wear glasses and headphones? Honest question.

If I manage to put the temples under the cups, it hurts. If temples go above the cups, the angle is wrong.

In the last few days I had to use quite a bit a diff tool on my macOS.

1. bbdiff sort of worked but didn’t feel intuitive
2. FileMerge (through opendiff) felt like the beginning of macOS.
3. Kaleidoscope felt the most intuitive and friendly.

I haven’t tried vimdiff as I don’t know if it works on folders. I should though.

I’m considering upgrading to Kaleidoscope 4, but the list of new features and the transition to subscription are not very convincing.
