   Wow, Amazon now even injects their Kindle promotions in HackerNews comments. Even adblock cannot help me now. Nowhere is safe!

   But that's totally possible with a slight change in .vimrc. I would argue that since you can change it in .vimrc your proposed rebinding is still part of the vim "interface".

   That's one of the good things about this whole media campaign against Trump. The media is throwing everything they can find at him and in the process expose a lot of heretofore ignored problems that have been festering for years. Maybe

   And Russia was the one who shielded Snowden after his leaks went public. It does not make Putin a valiant defender of the freedom of the press, does it now? I have seen bending of the truth happening in all major media outlets ever since I

   I don't think I would be too wrong to group RT journalists with the same people who instigated the Iraq war or the Libya fiasco. Sorry, but the western media that reported on "Gadaffi supplying troops with viagra to rape better&qu

   Correct me if I am wrong, but it's just about the thumbnail inappropriately used in one of the videos. Not about the report itself or the factual errors in it. Just the thumbnail which was probably assigned from some stock of "Syr

    On the contrary, I am saying that there are no credible news to be found. Sure, RT is a mouthpiece, but it's unwise to lock yourself in a bubble where all media you consume follows the same party line.

    Frankly, compared to internal Russian and Ukrainian news they were the epitome of unbiased journalism. The Ukrainian coverage was and is very subjective, but they did not resort to outright lies much more than media usually does. Malaysian

    You are assuming that there's a way for an uninformed reader to get his hands on 'unbiased' media. If you don't sift through the biases yourself the "high-level acquaintance" you acquire will be inevitably bias

    I disagree. RT is very biased, but is fairly factual once you learn to ignore the bias. They do a lot of pretty impressive journalistic work, like frontline reporting. If you exclude it completely, you miss a big part of the picture.

    I wonder if you keep this link mess in some kind of copy-paste ready textfile. If you do - please work on your formatting, this is very intimidating.

    Are you seriously implying that "trust in media" had even been a good idea? Come on, in the modern world you cannot even trust a priest, why would one advocate trusting in propaganda factories main purpose of which is to exploit t

    I am honestly starting to believe that Mozilla is trying to run Firefox into the ground. I am not sure if it's just bad decision making or if the decision makers themselves had been bought off by competition, but it sure does feel like

    You can just enable those parts that you need while still avoiding vast majority of bloat. At least for Firefox there's uMatrix that allows for finetuning of what exactly you want to enable/disable.

    I am guessing you are a Romanian yourself, judging by your use of Romanian spelling of "Bessarabia". I would remind you that Romania actually joined the alliance with Hitler and provided more than a million of troops to the Easter

    Both sides committed crimes in Kosovo, you know. History rarely is as black and white as you would want it to be. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_crimes_in_the_Kosovo_War#K...

    And Kosovo used to be part of Serbia. Just because a region is/was a part of your country does not mean you can do whatever you want in there.
