What do you swear by? (lemmy.world)

Brand, thing, behavior, method, advice, mantra, etc.

I swear by Blackwing pencils.

Also, the 'two minute rule', which has really improved my life: "if it takes two minutes or less to do, just do it now; if it takes longer, schedule it." I've got untreated attention issues and it's very easy for me to notice something needing done, and overlook or procrastinate it because it seems inconvenient in the moment. Having a totally painless rule that forces me to acknowledge that thing I should pick up, that trash bag I should change, etc, or, to at least put on my calendar anything I mustn't forget in the long run has been great for me.

I fucking love ublock origin. It really pains me that I cannot use it on my ipad.

Is Firefox not available for iPad? Cuz if it is you can install Ublock Origin on Firefox Mobile, too

Apple has some insane policy where every browser on their mobile devices (iPhone and iPad) must run Safari's Webkit browser engine. So even though desktop and Android Firefox runs Quantum (including Mac OS), it's actually running Safari Webkit on iOS devices. The Safari Webkit engine doesn't have the option of running add-ons, much like your Safari browser.

Feel a little violated? I would feel that way, too. It's just one of the many fabulous ways Apple decides which angles of freedom you're allowed to have. If you don't want this, vote with your wallet on your next device. Money is the only motivating factor for Apple, it seems like.
