The poorer they get, more reason to get rid of the leaders. And that is something only the people can do. Anyway, I can't justify it with what I know and what we hear almost daily now.

Nothing unexpected for the 2016 Turkey. With everything that goes on in there now, it won't be too long until something really horrible happens. Boycott everything turkish is the only thing we can do as normal persons I guess. That is

I just listened to a podcast that touched this topic, an interview with David Nutt, seems like he does similar research over in the UK. It's a Swedish podcast but not that much in this episode, the interview starts 14 minutes in: http

Maybe so. But then one have to ask whose money we are saving by getting rid of the cash.

As I see it, this has the potential of being a disaster for certain groups of people in the society. Old and poor. And there are no free solutions, you have to spend to spend. The old paypal tax but on every purchase you do. There are probl

I've tried a bunch of file managers but I'm not really happy with any of them. I tend to go with the least annoying alternative when I choose among Linux desktop programs (because they are all pretty horrible), in the file manager

My main reason to why stuff gets done faster when I'm in vim is because I am in the terminal anyway. Compared to one virtual desktop with a browser if you're doing web, one with some editor, and one with a terminal to run some bui

Thanks, but I already know it ofc :) Most of the stuff there is nice but it's nothing more than this really: - A nice background. - GTK themes and icons which I have, easy enough. - A nice looking bar, but the one most commonly used wi

This sure looks nice. My problem with nice looking Linux is that I becomes too limited and I get forced into habits that I don't like. Now all I use is bspwm, no status bars or anything, a lot of times I miss having something good look

Tmux recently merged a PR adding 24-bit colour, I'm a lot happier with the colours now. I think it will be in the next release if it's not out already. https://github.com/tmux/tmux/pull/112

Aftonbladet was the reason I started using an adblocker to begin with. Much better nowadays when I visit their mobile page on my phone, though I did get a slightly annoying fullscreen ad over there a couple of weeks ago. But overall it&#x27

It's clearly a step up from 1080p at a distance of about 3,5 - 4 meters at least. But then, a lot of it is the difference of a 5 year old 40" vs. a new 55" tv. The beginning of "Narcos" is filmed from a helicopter d

And Netflix is the only source of UHD, at least in my parts of the world. Which made me pay them even more for that subscription now when I bought a UHD TV last week. Oh, and I just ended my good old regular cable subscription one month ago

I'm mostly in smaller channels, max 120 nicks. If someone joins a channel this size or smaller, it can take a while before someone comes around to answer a question. But when they do you will probably get your answer, and you are able

Running skype on Linux, I was hoping the Skype web client would become a good alternative, but nothing really happens there... Edit: I wanted to use the Skype app on my modern Android devices but last time I tried it didn't even work.

Most code editors are half-useless by default though. I don't think anyone is using the default Atom or Sublime. It takes time to both tweak them and learn how to use them. So I don't think Vim is THAT different.

I have a Nexus 9. I can't say that I need a tablet, I don't use it a lot, but it's still nice to have one. I use it for netflix in bed, ebooks, check the news whenever there is a commercial break on tv or to google something

Maybe not. The gov. seems to handle the countryside extremly bad here in Sweden. Depopulation might lead to those prices, cheaper than the building materials in some areas. People are forced, in a way, to leave for the cities.

I would say yes. I don't know this for sure but the level of english is good all over Sweden. People might be a bit unprepared and shy but they will understand and reply in some way.

The key to learning vim for me was to create my own vimrc from the ground up. I decided to not add anything to that file that I didn't understand what it was for. That and time. As long as you can open a file in vim, add a couple of li
