I have had One Tab installed for a long time! But, afaik, it does not export links to markdown or org format.

Libro is a fantastic audiobook service: it's like Kindle, except that your *local bookstore* gets a portion of the profit each time you buy an audiobook.

Why major in philosophy?
- can be smug after only 2-3 classes
- only major where you finish knowing less than when you started
- generally better beards than psychology
- can't find a job, but then again what even is a job?

LÖVE - Free 2D Game Engine

Maybe something like love2d.org which runs on lua? I spotted Löve in the Lisp Game Jam (itch.io/jam/spring-l...). I wouldn't recommend for a newcomer, but for your own fun you can also use Löve via fennel-lang.org

Turtle Academy

I'm not sure we'd disagree :) The first language I showed my son was Logo via turtleacademy.com. I think the environment in which you learn a new language makes a big difference (easy access to examples, reference material). Python has some difficult concepts, and is becoming more complicated.

Recently found out that some people are actually READING all the books that they buy to put on their shelf??

Seems unbelievable but apparently it's true.

Exporting List of Chromium Tabs · Stéfan's blog How to export a list of all Chrome / Chromium tabs, per window, per tab group.

To escape tab hell (once again), I wrote an extension to back up my list of Chrome / Chromium tabs into an org / markdown text file. Once that's done, I can close them all! And, of course, I'll get back to them "when the time is right".

just discovered litecli (github.com/dbcli/litecli), it feels like a big improvement over the default SQLite REPL (autocompletion! support for multiline queries! syntax highlighting!)

OpenPGP Email encryption. For all operating systems. Standing the test of time.

During #PGP key-signing session with @mentat.za.net we just learned that keys.openpgp.org must strip third party signatures from public keys which complicates #WebOfTrust

This is such a pity, because #openpgp keyserver's WKD as a service is great!
