   I use Firefox for HN (and all my other web content consumption) on both mobile and desktop. In that way I still get the benefit of all my synced browser features (e.g. add-ons) and avoid the edge cases where a page isn't textual and re

   I only discovered NewPipe recently and it's a really great app. For those unaware NewPipe is an alternate YouTube app on F-Droid which has loads of nifty features such as being able to play the audio of videos in the background so you

   This article [0] seems pretty comprehensive. I recall there being a thread here on this topic fairly recently but I can't seem to find it now. [0] https://www.forbes.com/sites/wadeshepard/2017/12/13&

   Interesting, I thought it might be an SVG error but it appears fine in Chrome. The screenshot is from Firefox version 58.0.2 (64-bit) on macOS High Sierra 10.13.3.

   I was totally unaware that Disney so vehemently stuck to their "No Gambling" value. Searching for further reading I found an interesting blog post [0] which explains how new (Marvel, LucasFilm) Disney IP is (was) being removed fro

   I hadn't heard of this before and was expecting some kind of Golang support rather than just a lightweight Android version. What's with Google appending and prepending product names with 'go' willy-nilly!?

    Other than those already listed I absolutely loved the Remembrance of Earth's Past [0] trilogy (2008, 2008, 2010) by Liu Cixin. Whilst I wouldn't consider it 'hard' science fiction the Takeshi Kovacs series [1] (2002, 20

    As others have pointed out, the best solution is to configure your email client(s) to your security preference but it's worth noting that some companies will give you the choice of plain text emails over HTML. I was pleasantly surprise

    Hexchat closing on C-w is such a pain! It can't be scripted away either because it's hardcoded in the source. I haven't looked into this for some time but there does seem to have been some updates. https://github.c

    I may completely misunderstand what you mean because I'm not a frequent Redditor but I was able to select multiple options for display in the grid, it just seems some subreddits are not supported. E.g. https://redditgrid.com

    It seems that they're intent on downplaying the severity. It's one thing to present this confidant attitude to the end user but I wonder what the companies who pay CloudFlare, make of this attitude? Perhaps it's a tactic so t
