Paul Lockhart wrote a great book called Measurement, about this and similar questions. I highly recommend it if you're interested in the topic.

I almost never close tabs. Maybe once or twice a year I close them all at once, but until then, the number just keeps growing and growing. Currently there are 2700 tabs open in my Firefox on Android. It still works relatively well. The only problem I notice is when I type in an address, it doesn't show the list of matching open tabs and history items. Inconvenient, but not critical. I should change my habits, yes.

What Google's Translate function are you talking about? Voice input?

What's going on on that level? I don't see anything to change to make it faster. Any hints?

TechCrunch looks surprisingly clean with JavaScript disabled (I use NoScript, so I have to enable JS manually on each site if needed). It's simply text and some images, nothing else.

Where can I find all these voices? https://github.com/rhasspy/piper/releases/tag/v0.0.2 lists "only" ~50 files.

For Django there's https://github.com/Opus10/django-pgtrigger that makes it possible to define triggers right in your models, so you have everything in one place.

Great app, thank you for the recommendation. There's only one problem I've encountered so far. I use `maim -s` to take screenshots, and I've tried to combine it with the dragging mode in warpd, but it doesn't work. As soon as I activate warpd, the maim seems to exit. Or if I enter warpd first, I can't launch main anymore. It would be nice to take screenshots from keyboard only. Otherwise, warpd is awesome. History mode is interesting in particular.

I've noticed I have to override text color with Stylus on too many sites lately. Even PyPI uses a bit too light gray (#464646) for the main text. What's the point?

I tried the Hacker's Keyboard, but Multiling O Keyboard has worked much better for me. It supports swipe input, so I can use it as the main keyboard. And most importantly, you can customize the layout almost however you want (including arrows, modifier keys, function keys, etc). It may be a bit confusing at first, as you need to write your own config in plain text. But other existing layouts could be a nice starting point.
