That's for US searches, and it always seemed that Skype was more popular in Europe, but the graph is very similar if you change it to worldwide searches.

I believe the FSF position is that non-updatable firmware can be considered "part of the hardware", while updatable firmware cannot. I think they're concerned that updated firmware could change how the device functions in way

I'd pick Max Richter. His Sleep ¹, which is nearly 8.5 hours, would be a good start. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_(album)

Yeah, it's more like the context of "fine art" painting made inages of sexualized nude women acceptable in "polite society".

You forgot the 15-inch, so make that six.

You definitely can bring your own food — except I guess maybe not something yogurt that's a "gel"? That's what I do and it's always better than what they're serving, as long as you don't mind it not bein

It's no longer required that you are able to turn it off on x86-64, that you can't turn it off on ARM or both?

It says "There's a perception that we sit way more than any other culture out there", and then they say no, the Hadza sit a lot (" 'The Hadza are in resting postures about as much as we Americans are' "),

1M is bigger than Boston proper, but not the metro area (looks like close to 5M).

I pretty much agree with your recommendations, but they didn't pick GTK+ per se — they wanted GNOME on a phone, so they picked GNOME and use its toolkit.

Do you have an adblocker? Forbes often loads an interstitial ad page.

Which caps your upgrade at whatever largest size Apple ever sold, which you may already have.

The tweaks don't always work without any issues: speakers make static or USB ports get disabled even with wireless mice, for example. Distros don't want to cause problems like this.

Yes, so the title is saying they too will be harmed by "putting them first".

Yeah, shaft drive bicycles ("chainless") were marketed as the "next big thing" around 1898–99 by big companies, like Pope Manufacturing Company's Columbia brand, as they were coming down from the Bike Boom of the 18

That seems to be (one of) Purism's ultimate goal(s) with the Librem 5, their upcoming phone that runs Linux with a GNOME desktop.

They still sell the 11-inch Air through education channels. You can buy one from a e.g. university's store if you or someone you know is student/staff/faculty/alum.

They want the control key in the bottom left. My preference is control next to space, like command is for Macs. Luckily this remapping is easy with XKB settings.

Redshift is one of the first things I install on Linux, and I set it pretty orange in the daytime too. It works on X and Sway; I'm not switching to Wayland until I can use it. (GNOME also has a built-in blue light filter with a manual

Android Firefox, with the built-in Tracking Protect feature enabled, did block it for me, FWIW.

by abrowne 8y ago
Yes, and I assume Firefox would let you turn it off, in about:config at least. So I'm fine with it being implemented ;-)

Personally I'd say 1000 no thanks if they implemented that. The scrollbars are part of the application chrome, not content. I should choose how to style them, through my OS, not a website I visit.
