I've moved to using Disconnect with uBlock Origin. Would there be an advantage to using Privacy Badger instead of Disconnect?

I started to use Vim maybe six months ago and I found it obviously quite difficult to start with but I took it quite slow. I use Visual Studio at work and installed VsVim so I practiced VIM at work and at home on personal projects I used Vi

I have to agree with you here. I don't bother reading any political or news subs (except /r/uk) because I can pretty much guarantee the comments will not be adding anything to the discussion. For me, Reddit works pretty well

As a fellow Arch i3wm user I completely agree. I love i3's simple and readable config. It's odd that in Windows I dread updates, but using Arch I love to go home and see how many packages are ready to be installed and I usually en

Well IMO they probably shouldn't, but then again people shouldn't be abusing their position either.

Reddit comments and posts have been used in investigations. In the UK a teenager was sentenced for writing some "racist" comment(I'm not saying this is right or wrong, just that it happened). Just think, the admins have the p

Depends how often you drive using a clutch. I've always driven using one so now even in long traffic jams I don't really notice my foot aching.. However when I first learned to drive it really used to ache.

Oh I don't doubt more people commute by car in the US at all. Your statement was "In Europe you either live on the countryside or use public transport.", your own sources show that 60% don't use public transport and I do

How can you make such a ridiculous and broad statement? I'm in the UK and I commute an hour to work down the motorway/highway. With traffic it's an hour and I drive a manual car like just about everyone else. Most people I kn

I think 4G in Europe is generally pretty good, in the UK I'm getting 20GB 4G data, unlimited calls and texts for £20. However, on some networks 4G data can be pretty intermittant so you might not always be getting 4G :(

Running Arch for years, and an update has never broken my system. It requires more maintenance, sure, but Arch is incredibly stable generally.

Oh come on that's completely false. Building your own computer now is easier than it's ever been and can be a lot more cost efficient than buying something pre-built. Not everyone wants to build there own of course, but saying it&

8 of those in the UK are Bank Holidays. I'm not sure about others countries because I'm from the UK, but I think other countries get more "real" holiday days than the UK. Most companies I've worked for offer a littl

I actually never thought of that. We have the same "problem" in the UK with support, although I've noticed more companies trying to get support back into the UK and these are the companies I try and do business with.

Agree completely. i3 has been an eye opener for me. I'd recently got back into Linux after Windows 10 and I went with Arch and Gnome, but Gnome really wasn't doing it for me. Set up i3 and I haven't looked back. I love how fa

With English and I guess other languages, you just learn your alphabet and you can guess words pretty well. This is not the same as in Chinese, so children would most likely need to use repition a lot more to learn the characters that they
