I’ve been using Mullvad since the past few years and I’ve no complaints. The fact that the recent Mozilla VPN is based on Mullvad makes me more confident in my decision.

Their efforts work. I set up Firefox on my parents' Windows computer. A couple days (days!) later they were using Edge, and had no idea "when" the switch happened.

Certainly there are cultures where this holds to some extent. However, the spammy PR, the low-effort oncoming nature that is being discussed is not associated with folks from this culture, as much as it is by some commonly prevalent sentime

1. You don't have to manually add keywords. 1.1. Far more websites. Reddit, Flicr, Youtube, hell Yahoo, GMaps, Youtube, HN... Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, DBLP... pretty much all the places I would want to search on are available.

I recognise that, and thus acknowledge the importance of WAP, but I guess I'm more conditioned to expect this behaviour from men than from women? And the song makes me realise, and possibly correct for it, down the line.

WAP specifically feels like an experiment. A female singer's equivalent to the overtly sexual hiphop. In music, and in video. Anecdotal: Friends have acknowledged that they're more disgusted by it than the male singer's count

Nothing unusual. As I said, I copied the content here to save you a click. Personally, I'd like to read/discuss the privacy policy of most Show HN posts.

I use Google photos to store, organise and back-up my photos. My camera does not have geotagging. And they do infer the geolocation (city/region) based on the GPS data from my phone at the time the photo was taken. If I change the meta

I just wanted to acknowledge the comments, the back-and-forth in this thread. It is a very interesting discussion, and following its references has been insightful. Personally I know nothing of the field, and thus have no say in the matter

Obsidian is a crazy project, and I would recommend you all to give it far more weight when deciding to use it or not. Before I switched to Notion earlier this year, I used to maintain my notes in a Github repository. A folder with a bunch o

This seems like a very interesting move from Epic's side. Their giveaways had some pretty nice giveaway games in the past (Assassins Creed Syndicate, Darksiders 1 and 2, Amnesia, Into the Breach and Towerfall)[1], but recently they&#x2

Even if the SIM's anonymous, as the article demonstrated, it would be easy to de-anonymize it.

Read the top comment regarding Containers. I think FF has the BEST multi-account support. Just login to different accounts using different containers. Your cookies/logins in one are isolated from the others. Currently have three Gmail

It already isn't. Nvidia Geforce Now lets me stream (some of) my prebought steam games. And its a pretty satisfying experience. Their free tier isn't too bad, as of now, too. I see very little sense in buying something on Stadia,

Agreed. I'm thinking of cancelling my Dashlane subscription and moving to this Password Manager now. Firefox's Lockwise App (on android) leaves a lot demanding though.

I have a habit of recommending FF to my colleagues. We're based in Germany, and many of us are non-natives. On-page translation is the most common reasons they stick to Chrome. I hope when this is included in a stable release, it'

Not as far I know. It does have max-margin loss [1], which is pretty much all you need to implement a neural ranking model, apart from data iterators, and training loops. [1] ( https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.htm

In my opinion, the problem isn't that people hate on Billionaires for philanthropic acts, but increasing wealth gap. In other words - very fact that billionaires exist.
