   I mean your whole argument falls apart when you take into account the fact that cars cost money and the president or PM's car is going to cost a lot more than your average car. Browsers are free. > pulling trailers (real extensions)

   I always used and loved Firefox because it was open source, but there have been a few articles now showing exactly how insecure Firefox is compared to Chrome. For this reason I've started to use Chrome until Firefox ups it's game.

   I mean, we're talking about Europe as whole. The UK has the highest maternity though paternity is much worse but still better than quite a few EU countries.

   Maternity leave in the UK is the highest in the EU. Paternity is much less generous, though still better than a lot of other countries.

   Based in the UK, but this hasn't happened to me once and I usually set my VPN to Sweden or Netherlands.

   Wage inequality and higher education I agree with, but we do quite well with parental leave don't we (the UK)?

   There has to be some middle ground, no?

   Yeah it's odd that people are talking about it like this when it's 'bog standard' in the UK for a supermarket to offer home delivery.

    What's the problem? I'm completely for making all drug use legal but I don't want people driving when they've been taking drugs.

    So you don't need or require backups of your emails offline?

    Then, don't connect them to social media? Or better yet, don't use social media at all. I use an iPhone, and to be honest 99% of the time I use it for listening to Spotify, WhatsApp and HN. However, it's the 1% that really ma

    I don't want to be one of those people who go on about the fact that they're not on Facebook, but what if they asked me for my Facebook logins and I told them I don't have any social media accounts? (I mean, bar Github if you

    If you're going to make a statement like that, at least offer some proof.

    I pretty much follow most of these guidelines already, however I do use the Firefox browser and I wasn't aware it was so inseucre compared to Chrome. Is there a nice guide on hardening Firefox security or am I out of luck because of th

    Yeah as an Arch user I've used it a few times where an pacman -Syu has caused something to break and it's pretty easy to chroot into your system and fix the broken package.

    I mean, even to install Rust they give you a command to do this. So no, it's not just web dev.

    I'm thankful that the UK is pretty strict in regards to advertising in the UK and we don't have as many signs ruining everything.

    Someone linked to this forum thread on another HN post: http://www.pprune.org/tech-log/423988-concorde-question.html It's incredible interesting and various pilots and engineers turn up to share their stories.

    I mean, what he said is true. Look how many rogue apps on Android start spamming you with notifications and even worse, apps that push notifications that are purely advertising. Since I switched to iOS this hasn't happened once, and I&

    Apparently encrypted.google.com doesn't serve AMP pages. However, using DuckDuckGo might be the better option in the long run.

    Sorry to be completely off-topic, but how can you disable keys in Vimperator? I'm a Front End Dev so I use the 'Q' key a lot so it's annoying that I keep trying to record macros (which I never need to do in Firefox).

    by Accacin 10y ago

    I'd image they've done that because they want to get on the news carousel,and only AMP sites appear in that. They're basically being forced to use it.

    I also use the Bullet Journal "system" and it's really nice and I enjoy writing what I need to do for the day. However, unlike you I haven't really extended it and use only the basics which seems to work fine for me.

    I'm away and not on my main machine at the moment, but I've heard of problems for people who have installed Infinality fonts in the last few days.. So I'm looking forward to fixing tht when I get home.

    I don't want to sound rude, but Arch and Antergos aren't exactly the same. I think if you intall Arch you'll set yourself up with a much better understanding of your system for when something goes wrong.

    Simply put, people don't care enough. We haven't had the history some countries like Germany have had to realise the huge amount of problems spying on your citizens causes. And they've put it through whilst most people are bu

    That's the site I used to find out which addons I should be using. They used to recommend using Disconnect and uBlock Origin but I guess they've updated their info since I last read it. One less addon is always good news.
