Given that her only choices were to live horrifically disfigured or to undergo experimental treatment that involves living highly medicalized for the rest of her life, I think assisted suicide should absolutely have been an option. Actually

Besides the functional issues she has pre-transplant, there is the devastating daily effects of being seen as and treated like a monster by society at large. It would be bad enough to handle your own reflection in the mirror each day, but t

Oh wow, that is a different experience from the mainly-text version. The text version is missing a lot of images, it seems.

Onedrive handles Git repos on Windows fine. It does balk sometimes if you feed it large repos, but most often it works fine.

"ignorance of new technologies" Smartphone addiction is a major problem. Limiting its destructive grip during school so that kids can be prepared for the real world and life in general is a good thing. It's not ignorance of t

If you think that's cool, check out the AdGuard app for Android. It handles not just browser traffic, but traffic from every app. Not the one from the Play Store, but the one from their website -- the Play version is crippled. It'

I love how Microsoft does charges for their Office/Onedrive package: they notify me about a week in advance to let me know they're planning on charging me. I wish every service would give me days notice before a scheduled fee hits

Aren't those time limits on reviews only for reviews of sellers , though? Does Ebay also time-limit products reviews, reviews that are divorced from a seller? Do they even host those kind of reviews?

I wouldn't be surprised to see 'iron clothing' on Da Vinci's list either, though perhaps less of a to-do than a to-make.

Too bad KaiOS is the only major project continuing work on B2G, as they have no respect for the project. They refuse to release the code they are required to open or the code they should open in the spirit of the project.

KaiOS has also played it loose with releasing the source code for their feature phone flavor of B2G. They've had 2 years, no code has been forthcoming. I certainly wouldn't trust them, and would have to audit the activity of their

Flash isn't necessary to use the site. It seems to be used for a PDF display portion of the archive search's split-pane view. The search results are displayed fine without Flash.

It's probably safe to say that females are culturally programmed to spend more time on their looks, to be spend more time looking at themselves. That indeed would fit with being more self-obsessed. It's just the cultural prerogati

My Lumia 640 actually feels snappier than my Lumia 950 in some ways. I dont understand that, its been the same with all of the Lumia 950s I've used. The 950 has a nice camera though, and that display is great reading books.

I feel the same way about Amazon. What tipped me over the line was a counterfeit pair of Ecco shoes. I mean, seriously? You cannot safely buy air or water filters, SD cards, batteries, and so much more, but you have to even now be super cau

That's precisely the reason I stick with Windows Phone as well. Even with a flagship-level phone Windows Phone is super slow, so, on top of what you mention, it makes me not want to use it as much. Being so limited is rather freeing.

I've recently moved from reading mostly actual books to using e-books. Now when reading physical books I sometimes find myself trying to pinch zoom or select text with my finger. I am 40 years old.

I guess Twitter's archive didn't make it. :P The dim yet accurate view of humanity it provides would surely give pause to deep future archaeologists.

The link posted above is an AMP link. Maybe try removing the AMP? It looks like it uses about 2/3 of the browser width that way, much better. Also, about blank spots: do you mean in between the sections of text? Maybe is an issue with

Also peep Tilix. It's like the GTK answer to Konsole: super configurable yet accessible, with a sharp GUI. I think its arguably better than Konsole, except it doesn't scale as well as Konsole in Plasma (Plasma scaling is wretched)

KaiOS, like Firefox OS before it, is not and can never be a potential competitor. Google is investing to help get its services on a popular feature-phone system for the ultra-low-end in developing nations. That's basically the extent o

I've seen some commits on CAF regarding KaiOS's involvement, but where exactly are they hosting the source for their projects? Do they have any intentions whatsoever to release the sources? Firefox OS goes from open-source to cl
