• Most promoted and blocked domains among Kagi Search users

  Comments Owl for Hacker News [1] adds a mute button to comments and user profiles which lets you do this. If you want to roll a quick version of your own, once you've identified rows containing comments you want to block, you need to hide all subsequent rows which have a higher indent. I see there's now an "indent" attribute in the DOM which would make this even easier. [1] - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• The UI of Hacker News Is Perfect

  Definitely not perfect. The default "collapse comment" buttons being right-aligned is pure insanity, IMO. They should be left-aligned so they're all in line with each other as you scroll down the page, so you barely have to move your mouse. Fortunately this extension[1] takes care of that.

• Ask HN: How do you keep up with replies to comment threads on HN?

  For keeping track of replies to my own comments, as previously mentioned there's the threads link at the top of the page, as well as https://hnreplies.com/ and https://hnnotify.xyz/. You can also use https://hnrss.github.io/ or http://hnapp.com/ to make RSS feeds of various types. If there's a post that is particularly interesting and you want to be able to keep abreast of new comments in it, I've found the HN... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: How do you use HN?

  >Do you use browser plugins or user scripts? https://github.com/insin/hn-comments-owl I've also been writing a Godot app for HN off an on for a while now. It isn't ready for prime time but here's what it looks like[0]. >Also, what are your habits around HN? I tend to lurk the new comments page.

Google Alerts mentions (4)

• Search tips

  As always, I appreciate the work you do to share the information you share here. I, too, setup alerts for topics I'm interested in years ago, but figured I'd have a look at their alerts page nowadays. For starters, the google.com/alerts page is blank basically, so sending someone there could be confusing. Instead, be aware that you'll need a Gmail account to use alerts, or if using a non-gmail, it will prompt you... Source: 12 months ago

• sextortion... with proof

  The only thing you can do is ignore them, anything else is kicking the can down the road as you cannot meet their demands forever. You should run a virus scan on every device you use and implement unique passwords for each account + two factor authentication everywhere. Once you've done that, review your accounts for any unauthorized changes, paying special attention to all security settings. If you're worried... Source: about 3 years ago

• Any help?

  All you can do is ignore the scammer and see what happens. Ignore them if they contact you, and just lay low for some time. If you're worried, I suggest setting up a Google alert for your name in case anything is posted: https://google.com/alerts. Source: about 3 years ago
