That's pretty nice. I'm going to look into packaging it for myself for FirefoxOS. My only issue with it right now is aesthetic: the top item (search box on the main page, "< back to list" in entries, etc) scrolls of

The video embeds on this story say they're stopped because I have Do Not Track set on my browser. They imply that if I do watch the videos, it's my own damn fault if I get tracked. So thanks for reminding me to never visit medium

If you don't have any Windows-only applications keeping your younger-than-double-digit children on Windows, well then now is your chance to put them on anything-other-than-Windows. My own children are still using computers with Windows

"On HN, these kind of submissions are just as trashy, but because they point directly to LKML we can be fooled into thinking to be something loftier." No, it's because of the cognitive dissonance in play on HN. It's a f
