You said: "not an option anymore" This is incorrect in various ways, if only because there exists at least one example of someone using it successfully as the main browser, while also being employed as a web dev: Me.

Yeah, they had one of the most prominent old school devs talk about how they're going to maintain the values and they were working on lots of things to bring over, yet even years later they're still in not even a quarter of the w

Incorrect. With these customizations you can make it very easy to open any page/link from inside Opera in any other browser: https://gist.github.com/wchristian/9a479b6969ba653681f50b415... It is in practice entire

Now if only they'd deliver on the marketing talk about actually getting Opera v12 features into Chromera, or at least do the human thing of opening up the source of v12. Till then, quite a few people will stick with v12 as main browser

Called them out directly on medium for it. Doubt they'll bother to answer, but maybe a few people will see it.

I don't know, but you can get a download link for the code and data files here: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=67182 Maybe you can find hints in there? Been scrolling through it and found references to MorphOS and

Bezel size matters to me. I'd like to have enough of it to be able to grab the phone solidly by the sides without activating things on the screen. Making it smaller is sheer insanity, unless you're only targeting people who lay th

Same, even with a small and narrow android phone i have to consciously make a spider-like gesture to reach anything on the left side of the screen and sometimes trigger finds just by holding it by the edges because the screen is so close to

That would be utterly horrible to me and i couldn't stand it at all.

As i said in my post, i don't mind having upwork's program send 6 screenshots an hour from my work machine while i'm working, because it keeps me from being hassled by nontechnical clients who're otherwise fine people to

> Germany is notorious for its policy of keeping workers' wages down. Really? This is the first time i've ever heard that. In fact just recently minimum wages have been raised here and many shops complained bitterly.

If you're dealing with personal information you should always handle with conscious care and ensure it is only handled in a way that no data breaches are possible. This does include notifying your client that you'll be doing manua

In both my office and self-employed work regular short breaks for various purposes are part of the norm. (Particularly in places with high percentage of smokers.) This may include short chats or phone calls outside of work purposes as well,

There's no insecurity for unemployed people. They're guaranteed to have a roof over their head paid for by the state. In fact employees usually have 6 months firing protection as well, further reducing insecurity.

Nah, just your lack of knowledge about private/work life separation. :)

Welcome to Germany. On a more serious note: No, i am not. Only in my work life.

Sure, just not with VNC. :)

No, but for example in my last office job the 3 company founders tended to be walking along the main hallway of the office a lot for various reasons, and my desk was behind a glass wall along that hallway, and in one gig i was in an open pl

I do the same. It's fine. :) Each snapshot is accompanied by a note of what you're working on as well (if you make one). If you're dealing with a client who'd question that, AND not accept/understand explanations, t

Well, included in not being asked is also that you weren't told when you'd be listened to. With oDesk you know exactly when since it only happens when you push the button. There are no surprises involved, as opposed to the DDR whe

There's a fairly noticable popup, that you can also configure to make a sound; and if you're really worried you can review the screenshots in your work diary at the end of the day.

Maybe cultural differences. I know a lot of people in Germany who do, and refuse the siren call of throwing Marx' books down in their bosses' offices. Then again, workers here also enjoy a lot more protections than in other countr

I delete the segment and enter manual time with an explanation of why i did that. Manual time isn't protected by oDesk in disputes, but in that situation it's fine to use and low risk.

I'm from the deep east so i know exactly what you mean. :D The difference here is of course that in the DDR you weren't asked if it's ok to listen in on you. ;)

You don't want them reading it if you're working for them, but if they're paying you to do mailing they'd have a right to ask to take a peek in, i think.

In my particular area of work (programmer to hire by hour) the differences between a boss and a client are neglible.
