> I'm well aware you might think I'm proving your point with this response.

You are correct. Your comment was mean. Not even sure why you responded aggressively.

Hostile is perfectly correct word to describe some online communities. Do you think the word "hostile" only applies when you meet people physically?

It's complaining for the sake of complaining. Sometimes you need to test the water first. Some online communities are rather hostile after all. As shown by this silly website.

Thank you for the extension. It works well enough for my bookmarks. Just open the bookmarks on my browser and use the "Save all tabs" feature.

I think I'm not the only one who wants an alternative to pocket. A bookmark manager that can archive the links to prevent linkrot.

Thank you. I'll give multiple profiles a try. As mentioned by some of the comments. It's a good tool for managing bookmarks. ArchiveBox supposedly does something similar but I couldn't make it work.

I thought you'd say Infiniminer by Zachtronics.

How to toggle reader mode/readability? It doesn't seem to be able to save pages when I toggled chromium's reader mode on.

I followed the other advice on this thread. In the options:

- Annotation editor > default mode > format the page

- Annotation editor > annotate the page before saving

It automatically format the page into reader mode then I can click "Save the page" icon to save it. But sometimes I want to download the page as is. Like this thread for example. "Restore all removed elements" button doesn't seem to work to revert the changes.

For now I just set default as mode as normal and enable "annotate the page before saving", and then click "Format the page for better readability" when needed.

Looks really similar to https://sumi.news/.

I wonder why these aggregators don't do a weekly version. I don't want to read the news every day.

> 2. Shiori: Save bookmarks, archive them or use it like pocket.

Thanks for the rec. I've been looking for a pocket alternative. Just a simple bookmark manager that can archive articles. Ideally a desktop app and work offline too. None of that self-hosting stuffs.

I will give Shiori a try.

edit: Never mind. This is not what I'm looking for.

> Twitter won't let you see the content without logging in anymore.

I don't know why people don't make a bigger deal out of it. I guess everyone has twitter now.

It reminds me every time I asked why a website does a weird thing, the answer was always be "we have done A/B testing".

I didn't quit caffeine. I still drink tea. But I mostly stopped drinking coffee a while back.

A few weeks ago, I tried drinking a cup because I needed to be alert/less sleepy, and I felt like shit. Not sure why, headache, some anxiety, and nausea.
