It's not uncommon to have to sign an NDA just to visit an office (you never know what you might see on a whiteboard in a public space). Makes coding meetups a bit awkward at those places tho.

It's been really interesting to watch recent gorhill tweets where he describes some laboured efforts to type in rules to block content in ublock that you can do in umatrix with the click of a button. I don't understand it, but I a

I keep chromium for Google meet exclusively. I got awful performance on Firefox... not that chrome is much better - but at least I can kill it after every meeting without losing other tabs.

Speak for yourself. I get hundreds of hours out of great games like Rimworld, FTL, They are Billions and Hades. There are just as many great games, they're just not the ones advertised to you.

This constant demand for balance is why people who don't think Covid is real are given so much time in the news. Just because a story is one sided doesn't mean it is propaganda. It's very clear from this story that the situat

Supporting the independent media outlets covering the case is very helpful (eg Craig Murray). A lot of them are frequent victims of legal harrassment which gets expensive. Another good outlet to support is https://www.dailymaveri
