`The presumption by internet companies and others that they can use peoples personal information in any way they see fit is wrong, and can only happen because the legal framework in most states is still in the last century when it comes to property rights in personal information.`

Unicode in Python 3 12 years ago

I've used the Py2 csv module with csv files containing accented characters and had no issues. Could you post an example?

This works fine, as does the corresponding writer:

    reader = csv.reader(open(FILENAME, 'rb'))
    for row in reader:
        print row
If you want a unicode string it's as simple as:
    value = row[0].decode('utf8')
Then before writing:
    row[0] = value.encode('utf8')

I felt the same way as you but try putting them in the "bookmarks toolbar". It works similarly and it's quite nice to have everything at the top of the screen after a while.

My mistake, sorry, I thought it was official because it's linked to on the Mozilla support page and I thought the developer "Aris" related to "Australis".

It can spy on what you type in the address bar... Hilarious when the new header is "Committed to your privacy".

Strangely if you erase or change the value of that preference, it still runs. Does that mean it's checking something else?

It looks absolutely terrible having addon icons crammed into the same bar as everything else. What's the problem with the addon bar? There's even less view pane area now because the top area is so large.

The active tab curve is feminine, not in a good way, but I can live with it.

It does feel faster though, maybe they broke some addons that were slowing it down. Time will tell.

I think the issue is how long it takes to get in "the zone" or have the problem in working memory. If you go to sleep you know you'll have to go through that process again tomorrow before you can start being as productive again.
