Society and the world at large doesn't revolve around individuals. Despite not having had any major health expenditures myself (for now), I have absolutely no problem with supporting a system that allows for those less fortunate to not have to worry about it, among other things. Frankly, anything else is simply barbaric.


The majority (or easily over 80%) of the EU's high taxation incomes are not being spent solely to support the people who can't afford their own healthcare or on those who are truly in need of that money, so that argument is pointless. Unless you are a millionaire you can't live well in EU. If you are just a regular tech worker advancing in your career can actually reduce your salary because of the tax brackets.

How does that work?


Considering the privacy disaster that is Windows 10 (and 11), I'm not sure if this was ever a realistic expectation to begin with.


He was literally tweeting up until a few days ago. What makes you think he'd need the press to "unveil" anything "they" "don't want him talking about"?


No one was paying attention to his tweets. He'd get a lot of attention in an extradition.


If you're using Arch, the zfs hook that comes with the archzfs package takes care of this:

There are no gaps in the default configuration regardless. You would have to manually specify them. However, the i3-gaps fork contains more features than just gaps themselves.



I'm strongly against the use of Stylish after this fiasco: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17447816


I agree; hence why I recommended Stylus (an open source alternative).


Oops! I googled Stylus to see if it was a Stylish alternative, and the first result was Stylish, so I assumed it was a typo. I’m ashamed to say I didn’t look into it further.


This is great as is and it would require minimal work to make it a profile setting.

Thanks, installed :)



+1 for NetGuard. I just started using it recently on a new phone and it was the first thing I installed before connecting the device to any network. You would be amazed how many apps try to make a connection to graph.facebook.com

Check out Exodus Privacy[1] to see what trackers are inside a certain app.

One could use F-Droid and Yalp Store[2] to try and have a bit more privacy on an Android phone and make it work without a Google account.

Too bad it works by creating a local VPN - I'm already using "Block This!" to block ads on my device which also works via a VPN, so you can't use both at the same time.


I wonder if it's possible to create an app that creates a local VPN that routes through the other VPNs.


The article actually mentions most of them. :)


I think comparing Vimperator to Vimium is not really fair. Vimperator does a LOT more than just adding keybindings :)


On Linux or OSX, just put them under "~/.vimperator/plugins".

The vimperator directory structure is pretty similar to vim's. You can also have a "~/.vimperatorrc".


I'm using it in Windows.

I've searched for the folders "plugins" and "vimperatorrc."

There is a "vimperator" folder in my documents, but with no "plugins" child folder. This vimperator folder looks like it just contains some history files....


You can just create the "plugins" folder if it doesn't exist.
