I think they meant that in Sweden they removed the cancer labels? Here in the States (California specifically) at least, General Snus (made by Match) simply has the warning “may cause mouth cancer.” Camel Snus on the other hand has no cancer warning at all just “may cause gum disease and tooth loss.”

Like you said regulation is the final say in whether it’s on the label or not but these two warnings seem like the States (again at least CA) are taking the harm reduction into consideration as the labels aren’t as severe as they are on dip or cigarettes. Sorry if this is incoherent I’m typing on a phone while being talked at by a toddler who says he’s seen bigfoot.

No I don’t. I imagine it wouldn’t really be worth it on mobile. I also realize that was the point of the og post, but I had to respond when I saw someone else mention it 😂

So just as a caveat, I imagine Tridactyl would really mostly be appreciated by those with a modal, and specifically Vim inspired mentality; its mission, after all, is to bring vim-like bindings and workflow to Firefox. This is mostly to say, it may not appeal to you otherwise (but who knows!)

If you are already familiar with how key bindings are set in vim you’ll hit the ground running. In fact, many keys are pretty intuitive since they match vim, eg, scrolling up/down is controlled with j or k.

I may not use every single function built into Tridactyl everyday, but as a person who likes to reduce his reliance on a mouse, I can easily navigate both a page and the web at large entirely with my keyboard. Typing f puts a hint at every link that you can follow by typing the letter in the hint. ]] or [[ can auto increment pages on forums (eg going from page 2 to page 3). I can quickly traverse my history, bookmarks, etc with a command prompt that can also access nearly every feature of Firefox. I often use a binding to pin tabs or close them, etc.

On a regular day that might be all I do.

On the other end of the spectrum, I’ll give a more extreme example. A friend needed help with his company’s wordpress site. They had a couple hundred articles that needed a uniform change. While there was probably an easier and smarter way of doing it, I used Tridactyl (with a healthy dose of pyAutoGui) to automate it. I made a couple of commands in Tridactyl to do things like open certain links as new tabs, navigate to each tab, open the WYSIWYG editor for each page, locate particular text, delete and replace it), save, and move to the next tab and repeat. I was able to do this with about 10-15 articles at a time…I got paid to press a couple keys, walk off to do something with my kid and come back to check on it from time to time (I added in fail-safes for when it needed manual intervention). Admittedly, this did go beyond the scope of Tridactyl, but it was an invaluable part of the whole deal.

Another time I was doing a data entry job and needed to transfer both the hyperlink of, and several pieces of info, into a spreadsheet. It occurred to me that it would be nice to grab the URLs of all the pages I had open at once instead of manually going to each tab copying the url, alt-tabbing to the spreadsheet and pasting just to alt tab back to FF going to a new tab copying the url and so on.

The creator of Tridactyl helped me write a command that allowed me to open as many tabs as necessary, and copy to the clipboard every URL of each tab open from the one I was on until there were no more tabs, each separated by a comma to easily paste into the spreadsheet. Saved me so much time and carpal tunnel.

Ultimately, describing a few things I’ve used it for is a disservice because if you ask the next person, they’ll use it completely differently.

Fellow tridactyl enthusiast reporting for duty!

It has been a game changer, especially with repetitive work tasks

Noticed this too and it’s annoying as ferk. It’s messed up many a queue between my wife and i

Like as in you traveled across the country to see them? If so, that sounds fun. I’ve driven across 3-4 times (assuming you mean the US) and it’s been a lot of fun each time.

It would be really great to see them for me this time since they are playing with the Descendants (the two were my introduction into punk music)!

Yea I just saw that in my feed. I’ve never seen them live (though I hear they suck live 😜) so I should def try.

One of my favorite songs of all time. I revisit it once a year or so but have to be careful because as much as I love it, it can put me in a dark place. I’ve urged a lot of friends to give it a listen while paying attention to the lyrics but that seems to be quite a commitment for most people 😂
