That's why I said most people (within two standard deviations from the mean roughly), there will be people for which their genetic component will make up a larger part of why they seem to suffer from low energy.

This may be a controversial opinion, but not everything is about efficiency, especially when it comes to social interactions. But even if your life's aim is to impose rigorous efficiency on every aspect of your life, I doubt you'l

Walking with groceries in the rain won't kill you, I promise. It's a small inconvenience but in my opinion you get a lot back for it, everything just becomes more village like and friendly. Being in a car does not tend to make peo

Not to burst your Amsterdam bubble, but you basically have to be a millionaire to be able to buy a house there right now. House prices have been rising like crazy in the Netherlands and Amsterdam in particular. Amsterdam is now for the elit

This was a shock for me when I learned of this. It's a great way to show people who think humanity somehow doesn't have the capability to have an effect on greenhouse gas emissions for example. We have totally and completely resha

Don't smoke, don't drink, don't use drugs, get enough sleep and exercise, eat enough fruits and veg and not too much junk and you've got like 90% covered, if not all. Most people (without serious medical issues) moaning

Which will be totally useless if it's completely consumed by cryptocurrencies, thus only adding to further destruction of the climate.

Analogies are meant to be used once. You shouldn't take them and use them for another purpose.

Even if it did use mostly renewable energy, which I doubt (I've heard some buy old coal fired plants to run their mining operations), it's still energy that could have been used for something useful. It takes away power for real e

There is a difference between the two. That's like comparing the fuel use or exhaust of a Fiat 500 to that of a cargo ship.

I don't use Twitter, I don't have an account, but sometimes (news) articles link to tweets. And when I click on them and see the replies I have to actively remind myself that it is not an accurate representation of the populatio

I don't know the exact figures of how it operates. According to Wikipedia Firefox is "developed by the Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation".

Some that come to mind: * completely changing the settings UI; * the very annoying "present" icon that appears after updates; * constantly messing the address bar in how it works and what it searches; * constantly re-enabling stuf

Not all, some funding is. >Last year, more than 400,000 individuals gave to Mozilla to protect and improve the health of the Internet. The Mozilla Foundation also receives support in the form of grants from other like-minded major founda

Every time I make the mistake of looking at Twitter I am reminded of how much of an absolute cesspool it is. Only the loudest, rudest, dumbest, most extreme opinions seem to get through. Social media only highlights the extremes of the spec

Sadly, yes. But I hope it sinks.

Yes. It's also shrinking to be almost the only reason I run Firefox. I absolutely loathe the constant tinkering with UI and settings, they just can't seem to leave stuff alone. The ghacks user.js does get rid of a lot of nuisances

A lot works quite okay, reader view also works great a lot of the time. And if necessary I'll allow first party scripts and most tracking scripts are third-party.

Seeing as Plausible is still a script, how much of the remaining percentage of Firefox/Linux users are blocking scripts entirely? My default uMatrix settings block everything but first party CSS and images.

Virtual meetings are usually much shorter, so in my experience a lot less fatiguing than IRL meetings (especially if I have to drive somewhere). Long meetings, virtual or in meatspace are always fatiguing. And they're very unnecessary

I'll give a free cookie to whoever gets this done. Sometimes I'll get these spreadsheets with byzantine formulas that I have to copy it to a text editor and format myself to make sense of all the parenthesis.

This always makes me wonder why this is even possible in the US. Why can anyone just make an anonymous call and have a death squad kick in someone's door? Sure the guy who does the calling is guilty, but why is it so easy to do, should

The problem with these kind of vehicles is that they exist somewhere between cars and bicycles, which means they won't be welcome on either bike paths or car roads. Hell, people even complain about people on race bicycles on bicycle pa

This is somewhat of a tangent but I think hoarding zerodays should be illegal for an individual, company, or state. It would be seen as highly irresponsible if someone held back critical information about a vulnerability in a dam, I don&#x2
