Well, this will soon become the only option, to move to the rural areas.
Before you could live with 1 income and buy a decent house and have a car. Today you can be 2 but have hard problem even buying a house?
Who’s or what’s the blame? I have my opinion and thoughts about that, but it’s for another day.
Thanks for sharing! I have never laughed so much in a long time. Fantastic story.
What a hilarious story. Talking about email ethics. I remember myself doing a similar mistake, new at work. This old timer came barging into my cubicle and commanding me to “stop emailing all!”.

The gigants buy up competitors and bury it, shot down the project.
We would have more freedom and viable options as consumers if not the big companies such as Facebook, Google buy up the competition. It should be illegal to do this. The world is a more poorer marketplace because of this.
Interesting question.
I did some terms in the board for our cooperative housing association (Sweden). The association signed up for a web hosting account. The association paid for the account but a private person had to own the account, which had all the access.
Changing the owner - even if the association paid the bills - was a big hassle and not easy. The hosting company where/are pretty strict about this.
Hence, the everyone in the OPs story made bad choices.
Of course, you are totally right. The future is for those companies and app vendors that respect privacy AND take good care of the personal information they have been giving, keeping them accurate and secure, not selling them around for the highest bidder.
The best thing about FF is about:config. It tunes in to the legacy of Netscape and Amiga where you could and can configure everything to how you like it. This is freedom, unlike chromium.
When a company gets so big that it doesn’t have to listen to customer complaint, it’s time to go.
I had a great car repair shop with awesome care for customer. Gave you special care and nice deals. Well, because of great reviews they grew very much, rebuilt the shop and hired a lot of staff. The culture that made them successful was forgotten, the CEO had no insight in the employees so the experience as a customer deteriorated, hence left.
Lesson: don’t grow so fast that you forget what built your company in the first place.
Examples: Google, Facebook, etc.
Thanks for asking.
Many stuff is disabled by default, but it’s a moving target. There are some tutorials online to read.
It depends on what the browser is used for. Some hardening breaks certain sites.
Some stuff to look at:
- dns-prefetch - geo - cookie - dom (disable, breaks sites) - browser.cache.disk - clipboard.events - media.peerconnection - healthreport - spoofRefererHeader
Chrome doesn’t remove history when closed is a big issue.
The first plugin I install on a freshly installed system with Firefox is uBO. After that I harden the browser by changing stuff in about:config.
Chrome has never been an option for us with privacy in focus.
The guys behind uBO should get some price or something.
One word: greed!
”For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” I Timothy 6:10
There has always been ADHD around. When my normative group were kids, we climbed trees, played Indian and cowboys and had a lot of outdoor fun. There were some kid or two who was more risky or over the edge, but hey, we had fun.
Today, looking back, I would consider some of my childhood friends to have ADHD or some kind of other diagnose.
Yesterday, these ADHD-kids, was not a great deal. There were also a lot of local jobs and other opportunities as well that didn’t demanded a high education.
Now kids don’t play outdoor and it’s easier to single out the ones with ADHD. Further more people have moved to the cities and there is a greater pressure to study. Today it’s hard to find a decent job for a supporter of a family without a good education.
Hence, without a diagnose, these kids would not stand a chance. They need all the help, support and understanding they could get.

Try Opera Mini on IOS.
And then you add [1] this - Facebooks ability to access WhatsApps files on iOS from any other app in their “family”.
Left Facebook about 8 years ago. I block all their domains on my internal DNS. I mean they are not getting any metrics from me. Period. I used WhatsApp but dumped it for privacy reason, Facebook is not trusted.
Google is the next company that will come under heavy scrutiny. They are aggressively trying to circumvent ad-blockers with their recent usage of semi-random domains.
You can’t abuse ordinary people’s privacy and shove ads in people’s face for too long time.
Done that in main thread about vifm above.
Sorry, but my comments were invincible for long time than suddenly appeared. Thought it was something wrong then all comments was visible. Hard to know if you don’t know HN comment system.
About vifm (don’t know if nnn has this):
- split screen (files left, file contents on the right) - customise file viewers - quick file search - customise key-bindings
I agree, after 20 years end up with Bash and binutils.
Some time I did a survey for a neat a nice terminal fm. Trying a lot of different kinds I ended up with vifm.
Copying multiple files regularly I recommend using Python Fabric.
Recommend vifm or why not tmux which is very configurable.
