   That's true. But with a coupon I could get a cable for ~$2 and prime shipping.

   The brand is Bluedio. They have pretty good reviews considering the price. I have used Xiaomi before and was amazed by quality/price. I was hoping Bluedio, which is another Chinese brand would be also good. I was wrong. EDIT: Here&#x27

   The fake review problem on Amazon is much bigger than people think. Here are my two anecdotes: 1. I got bluetooth headphones on amazon (~$65). They had great reviews, but were very disappointing. I returned them and gave 2 star review. Repr

   There's an interesting book on this topic that discusses both how it happened and what that does to our brains and bodies - "The Hacking of the American Mind" by Robert Lustig [1]. The book also is about other ways our brain

   I believe that no information about user actions and behaviors should be recorded by a browser. It does not benefit the user in any way, only Google and advertisers. Also we should remember that data needs to be stored first before it is a

   I have switched to Firefox a long time ago. The main reason is privacy. I just trust Mozilla much more than Google (I actually don't trust Google at all). From Google Chrome Privacy Notice [1]: [...] Chrome usage statistics include

   KDE handles Gtk3 CSD well. I think that might work. I haven't tried it on KDE though.

    Thanks lima. .Xresources does not work on Wayland. In my case Qt apps work ok until I connect an external display. Here's before/after: https://imgur.com/a/bJb0J

    Yes, it is. EDIT: And CSD works! Instructions to enable it are in a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rz_mPVwhDg (I recommend to mute sounds).

    I have the same problem - 14 inch WQHD screen. I use 1x UI scaling, 1.6x font scaling. I also made a custom css for GTK that resizes window decorations/buttons that make them more usable. The solution is not perfect though. I am having

    I absolutely loved AUR repository and I wish Fedora had something similar. However, with rolling release, something has always been broken: Gnome, GDM, Wayland session, suspend/wakeup, bluetooth. Update would often fix one thing and br

    The big change will come with Gnome 3.28 - real fractional scaling. You can test early version of it on 3.26 [1] (experimental). [1] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/09/enable-fractional-scaling...

    I highly recommend Fedora 27. I have been using beta for the last few weeks. I switched from Arch and I am very happy with how well everything works and how stable it is. Fedora team has a release schedule for every release. However, they d

    Stable Firefox 57.0 is already available on Mozilla's FTP server: https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/57.0/ I am already using it, but had to reinstall uBlock Origin.

    Every few hours is a bit to much. That's why I would prefer a weekly digest. I am learning German and I have started listening to daily Deutche Welle podcast [1]. It is really good and my main source of information now (even though I s

    Thanks for the tip. I would prefer the option to read on a bigger screen though. I hate reading on my phone.

    I would pay $10/month for a weekly digest of the most important world news without editorializing, clickbait, celebrity news. Just important stuff. Also I would not like it to be only US-centered (that could be optional though). EDIT:

    I was also rear-ended once by a person using a phone. To make things more interesting I was in a rental car and I was on my way to return it.

    I wish something was done about drivers playing with their phones. I live in a city in the US, where cars are the main mode of transportation. I, however live relatively close to work and walk every day (I am European ;). Number of drivers

    I agree that Thinkpad + Linux is a great combo (with wonderful keyboards!). However, repair service wasn't that good in my case. Response and shipping was super fast, but my laptop was at their repair center for 2 weeks waiting for a

    For a rational mind it is difficult to understand. However, social networks and many apps activate dopamine pathways in our brains [1]. The same pathway that activates when reward is "real" (according to your definition). Problem

    You can install gnome-session package. In GDM you will be able to choose between "Ubuntu Session" (Ubuntified Gnome) and "Gnome Session" (vanilla).

    IMO it is great. The Ubuntu dock is an improvement, also Ubuntu Gnome will support old style tray icons out of the box. Canonical is making Gnome more usable and attractive to an average user. They are fixing mistakes that Gnome developers
