It's a very rational thing to do if you live in an urban area. Individual owned cars spend most of the time parking taking precious space inside cities. Car sharing combined with non-shitty public transport to also reduce moving traffi

That's good news. Hopefully this also will allow something like Tree Style Tab [1] or at least make it a lot easier to build such an extension. [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/tree-style-t

There is no such thing as neutral and unbiased news. Journalists often claim such thing is possible, but it isn't making things worse by hiding their bias. You can try to find out in what direction the author/news outlet is usuall

This race to the thinnest in mobile computing is going way too far for some years now, which sacrifices many things with no real gain: useful ports getting replaced by clunky adapters, modular components are replaced with glue, heat dissipa
