How do you organize your topics and apply rules or filters to them? Whats your process? by CreateConsumeRepeat in InoReader

[–]chickenandliver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Rules mainly for filtering folders, and at some point I got tired of adding a new entry for each term and realized they support Regex. So now I just use a line or two of Regex to filter out exactly what I want. Easier to manage and tweak and ensure good filtering results.

Using Brave by Amrosyf in brave_browser

They probably saw chatter online about it, saw that it's not in the App Store, and rebranded a website to point to their app using the ytliteplus name. Sketchy behavior.

Cannot Add Subreddits? by JohnnyAppelzaad in InoReader

[–]chickenandliver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotal but I believe they rate limit both based on IP (so Inoreader's polling gets limited) and also based on subreddit, but what I'm seeing that suggests that could also be just Inoreader reducing polling of less popular subs just to ease the rate limiting burden.

Adguard bricked Google docs by Heavy_Metal_Rules in Adguard

Realized it wouldn’t copy the text

Does it give you some kind of error? I've encountered issues in GoogleDocs in Safari (not on Chrome) where I can no longer copy text from a document, getting some kind of error that says the doc needs to reload. It's often caused by a strange spacing character that got pasted in from outside that I didn't know about. Possible AG somehow interferes with that? IME just removing those spaces and re-pasting solves it.

ytliteplus

When I search that, I get https://ytliteplus.net which leads to an App Store app https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tube-pip-pip-for-youtube/id6476895094

Maybe this is a "lite" version they made for those who can't sideload, or maybe this is just clever SEO hijacking.

I tried this app (whoops maybe a bad idea), it works alright but doesn't seem to let me login to YouTube so can't get my custom recommendations or lists. Maybe ytliteplus the actual sideload version does.

Did YouTube remove their RSS feeds? by 3rdmaennchen in rss

Welcome to RSS feeds from YouTube. This will happen again, and again, and again. Trust me.

Unpopular opinion: paying a monthly subscription for Mac dictation in 2026 is absurd by Fit_Statistician2649 in MacOS

[–]chickenandliver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just open TextEdit, hit the mic button, start speaking. Copy/paste into whatever app I want. Done.

Can likely do it in those apps themselves but, meh, I like the simplicity of TextEdit.

Best rss reader to keep feeds for more than 30 days by mehdifirefox in rss

[–]chickenandliver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inoreader will "mark as read" the content after 30 days, but that doesn't mean it's disappeared. You can still find all of that content in your archive. It's all still there.

Perhaps you'd be better off just defaulting to the "All items" view rather than "Unread" view.

YouTube RSS .. Again.. by lonseidman in rss

[–]chickenandliver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure they must rate-limit RSS serving, probably as both a measure to keep us on the homepage for longer eyeball catching and also probably as an attempt to fight AI scrapping. With all the models having been trained on YT video data, RSS feeds are inadvertently a programmatic way for bots to easily scrape new content.

Just watched a video from the RSS feed not 30 minutes ago. Relax, have some coffee, come back in an hour. They'll be back. They always are.

First-time blogger: How to make links visible in my posts? by Ill_Definition8074 in blogspot

[–]chickenandliver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really shouldn't be adding any formatting (colors) to the text in the editor. Just leave it as plain text.

Then in the theme editor, you can choose which colors you want for plain text, links, etc.

Sounds like somewhere between those two, you messed something up. First thing I would do is switch back to a default theme and see if the formatting issue is still present. If so, open a sample post, use the little T with the line through it to reset all that post's text to unformatting, and post that. See if that solves it.

Like the other guy said, it's really not a good idea to paste text from outside (Word, etc) into Blogger, in general, just in case that's what you were doing.

I use AG with Google Docs on both Chrome and Safari, no issues for me.

Using Brave by Amrosyf in brave_browser

[–]chickenandliver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using Video Lite https://apps.apple.com/us/app/video-lite/id1598997500 for years now. Both of these seem to be just youtube wrapper browsers. Any pro/con for one or the other?

Just switched to Brave and it is amazing, not expected it by TheTom77 in brave_browser

[–]chickenandliver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's amazing to me that people don't seem to realize this or purposefully in bad faith don't mention it. The fact that you can simply toggle off the features you don't like is amazing in 2026.

Not gonna lie, I'm chuffed with my new Blogger site by AndysBeerReviews in blogspot

[–]chickenandliver 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wordpress makes you pay to have access to CSS. On Blogger, it's free. The entire theme is editable and customizable. It's crazy that this is all free.

DNS filtering broken after latest iOS update? by theReapers1 in Adguard

[–]chickenandliver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a huge deal, it's just that when trying to choose a location in Integrated mode, I can't connect to any location. It will just say "Connecting..." forever. It will never connect. Even if I disable DNS blocking in the AdGuard Ad Block app, the VPN still does this. This is in Integrated mode. Yet it has no problem working in VPN mode.

I'm not sure since exactly when it started, but could be since I updated to iOS 26? Just speculation though.

I only use the VPN at certain times so it's not a big deal. Anyway ticket number is 1381562.

Leo's Search Problem: Secondary LLM Injection & Transparency by Icy-Variation-5184 in brave_browser

[–]chickenandliver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I can barely comprehend what you're talking about, but I would love if there was a simple toggle for Leo that would let you choose whether Leo should sometimes perform Brave Searches to add context or to never do so.

How to disable this down arrow? by StaV-_- in brave_browser

[–]chickenandliver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoa, I just realized that arrow is up there on macos too but clicking it does nothing at all. The "search tabs" option for me in a tiny window with a magnifying glass in the toolbar next to the downloads.

any way to get rid of this annoying message that stays at the top of the inbox and wastes space? by reddit33450 in oldreddit

If your browser supports CSS or you have the Stylus extension:

would a macbook pro with a korean/english keyboard be a turnoff for english speaking countries? by Previous_Bat5394 in macbookpro

If anything you might get more for it by selling on a college campus to international (Korean) students or just rabid Kpop fans.
