If you're looking for a domain I recommend https://domainr.com for search (they get affiliate revenue but I don't) and https://namecheap.com for registration. Namecheap has done a great job of defending privacy and offering a solid product. Also no affiliation, but the CEO did respond to me on twitter!

We can do small tributes on a subdomain. I'll do two small ones;

- dang.matcha.life

- dang.moka.moe

One tea related and one coffee related, of course.

I'll aim to have them live by December 1st.

Command+, to bring up preferences is surefire, does linux/windows have the same yet? I remember Command+W not working as consistently as well.

Word and like jumps in Windows also felt backwards to me, doing the equivalent of w instead of e in vim, and couldn't be consistently combined with shift.

Support for Alt+Dpad(+Shift) and Command+Dpad(+Shift) is important IMO. As well as Double/Triple-click+Drag: it should select additional units not letters.

These last paragraphs are OS-level but the features were missing or inconsistent.

Dystopia isn't guaranteed; don't go gentle into that good night.

Highly recommend reading "On Tyranny", it's a great small, pertinent book for $10 at most book stores.

Edit: to be clear China's social credit system is extremely dystopian to me and is already taking shape, but I trust most/all democratic societies (including US) to fend it off.

Browser fingerprinting is a problem, but the solution isn't to throw your hands up and spoonfeed them identifiers.

Blocking tracking scripts does thwart fingerprinting. I really hope we can figure out a decent access model for JavaScript someday.

I'm not convinced this poll is much indication of anything; it's just asking about a weird carbon tax scheme.

> Suppose a proposal was on the ballot next year to add a monthly fee to consumers' monthly electricity bill to combat climate change. If this proposal passes, it would cost your household $____ every month. Would you vote in favor of this monthly fee to combat climate change, or would you vote against this monthly fee?

  $1/month:    57% favor
  $10/month:   28% favor
  $20/month:   30% favor
  $40/month:   23% favor
  $75/month:   15% favor
  $100/month:  16% favor
A more useful question would be: "Would you oppose climate change regulations that had the effect of increasing your energy bills $10/month?"
