I'm mainly a Firefox user on desktop and I don't think I'd use it there, since Firefox already has great support for containers and tab groups (Simple Tab Groups and Multi-Account Containers for me). However, I will say that

In my anecdotal experience, this is also happening with Chrome webview. My mother's Galaxy S8+ had app crash issues that didn't resolve until I both disabled Chrome and pinned Android System Webview to the factory version.

Fim works best for the types of files that don't change frequently, or shouldn't change at all. I use it for photos, digital art files, videos, music, books, records/receipts, etc. When I started, I put everything into fim, b

There isn't a command line argument for pointing to a .fim/ located elsewhere, if that's what you mean. It probably wouldn't be hard to add that to the utility. What you could do is put your photos subdirectory inside an

I don't think it's a good idea to depend mainly on low-level or device-specific features (in a NAS or your filesystem) to detect bitrot and corruption in files. As a user, you don't care WHY a file changed, only that it did s

Why not reduce it further? Everything is matter or energy, and the entire universe can be reduced to quantum/chemical/kinetic processes. I don't disagree with you, but I find more subjective meaning in the difference between

Not GP, but my understanding is that free will is weak, not strong. You can suppress a desire to eat a donut (requires willpower) but can't prevent the thought/desire from arising on its own when presented with the stimulus. Simil

I think symmetric encryption would be fine here for simplicity. When it's time to wipe the drive, securely erase the key. I'm curious as to who is responsible for not properly erasing the files: the IT department, or the manufactu

Not GP, but the web interface is bog slow at loading posts and scrolling the page (once enough posts are loaded). Also, basic navigation is broken by the infinite scroll, so it's easy to lose your place in the stream and have to waste

By and large this is true. However, the android Citibank mobile app refuses to do anything useful if you don't give it access to your entire file system upfront. I don't think Apple would allow that kind of permissions abuse, but

Are you exaggerating? Or were they really brushing more than 3 times a day? Brushing obsessively and brushing hard will strip enamel that's been softened by acids. Brushing right after a meal can lead to damage because the enamel hasn&

I think there's a link to tooth decay. If you're mouth breathing your teeth aren't being coated in saliva, so they can't be remineralized. I read that distance runners can develop dental problems because of mouth dryness

What is a processed carbohydrate to you? Only refined wheat flower, white rice, and sucrose? These issues started with the shift to agriculture, and the cultures I believe you're describing are all agricultural. That's why civiliz

Having a mix of decaf and regular grounds also makes it easy to slowly wean yourself off caffeine without destroying your productivity and mood. I have a spreadsheet to chart out how many grams of caffeinated/decaffeinated coffee groun

True on "adrenal" fatigue, but it does increase cortisol levels and blood pressure. Chronic use will also lead to increased run-of-the-mill fatigue. Caffeine works by blocking adenosine receptors, which is part of the mechanism fo

That's what I thought as well, but my experience contradicts that. Wacom is expensive, but it still leads in terms of sensitivity and accuracy. The pressure levels and other specs don't tell the full story. On both my iPad Pro (20

My monitor has terrible "buttons". This utility means I no longer have to fumble around with them to adjust the brightens. Thanks for the link!
