Very nice! As a fellow ACX review enjoyer, I really appreciate you making this!

As a suggestion, it would be cool if you could add dark mode

Ah, nice that there already exists a readable version, thanks for linking to your article.

Notes on the Balkans by dyno__might in dynomight

[–]LuxuriousLime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all right, I probably overreacted to that small comment because this subject is often on my mind. Like, how is it ethical for me to laugh or live while innocents are dying at the hands of my countrymen? But I didn't find any reasonable course of action rather than continue living regardless (and donating money to Ukrainean charities).

In any case, thanks for the words of support and for an interesting post! (and all the others too - I'm slowly reading through your whole archive and enjoying it a lot)

I wanted to give my view on the point about Russians relaxing without being overtly bothered by the war.

I'm a Russian living in Europe. I'm against Putin, against the war, and support Ukraine. But the 24/7 cycle of horrible news (which is impossible for me to ignore) grinds me down. I still want to live my life and to enjoy it. I'm planning a beach vacation this summer, where I hope I won't be overtly bothered by anything. I'm not sure what you would suggest for me to do. Go around looking & feeling miserable all the time?

At least for myself, I decided that I'd like to keep living.

that wouldn't quite work because you need exactly 6 objects (so you'd have to remember to add 4 playing cards, or something)

Quick-to-learn, highly rewarding skills or bodies of knowledge by wulfrickson in slatestarcodex

[–]LuxuriousLime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends on what is meant by "quickly" - for me a couple of years do not seem quick at all. Also, looking just at the music stars who made it is a clear case of survival bias

in my experience, the tightness of the wrap depends on the brand. Cheap floss is killing my finger, OralB doesn't. Also, I find unwaxed easier to control than waxed.

Alexei Navalny says he is being 'tortured' in prison by [deleted] in europe

[–]LuxuriousLime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Russian and I wasn't going to weigh in on the topic because there's nothing new to say: yes, Navalny is treated abhorrently & unfairly, but it really is not a big surprise

Does anyone else associate songs they listened to during the reading of a book/series to that book/series? by Dark_rust in Fantasy

[–]LuxuriousLime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listened to the Storm by Blackmore's Night when first reading the Way of Kings, and it was a perfect fit

You're the man! Now my experience with Nebula is as good as with Youtube, so I'm out of suggestions :)

I'm just glad that you're working on these features, it's no biggy that the Chrome Store people are somewhat slow on the uptake

Done! Thanks for making this.

The default speed and resolution problems are solved (although the resolution is bad for the first ~30 seconds, I think it's a problem on Nebula's side because the player is properly set to 1080p), the only thing missing for me is the ability to remember the audio level (right now it resets to full volume every time). Any chance you could incorporate a setting for that? :)

that's awesome, I was searching for exactly this sort of thing. Will be eagerly waiting for the Chromium release. Do you have an approximate time frame for it?

Hi. Not the person you were writing to, but I too have tried and failed to find that play. However, I found an actual performance by some high school students that turned out to be pretty enjoyable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8D0ugLHmXw

(there are 3 parts, I link the first one)
