gtk supports emacs style bindings. Put `gtk-key-theme-name = Emacs` under `[Settings]` in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini. Doing `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-key-t…

When searching using / you don't need the escape part. There's also ' which only searches links.

There's about:performance but it's not as full featured as chrome's resource usage view unfortunately.

Firefox has `media.autoplay.enabled` in about:config, so it's easy to turn it off globally.

I guess this is a good place to plug the fairly new bash completion support for Nix (including Nix 2.0)[1]. For those like me who can't stand using a cli without completion. [1] ht…

Ah, that looks promising, though it seems like the web extension uses a download hack to communicate with the backend, requiring you to let firefox download such files by default. …

Magit is really amazing. Recently learned that it optionally supports saving changes to git when saving a file or doing some destructive git operation, by using the magit-wip modes…

It's pretty straightforward to use mutter without gnome-shell, you just have to implement the MetaPluginClass [1], which is what gnome-shell does too here [2]. At that point you ca…

The EU GDPR[1] legislation actually looks good. It includes the right to access your data and the right to be forgotten. It remains to be seen how well it's implemented, but they'v…

Yes, with nixos it's easy and _safe_ to install packages from unstable while running a stable system as default (installing stuff never breaks your system). There's also a fairly n…

But we aren't lacking land to grow food. We have so much of it actually that we use a third of the arable land world wide to grow feed for livestock, (which accounts for 40% all gr…

I think the public at large thinks heroin is much more dangerous than it actually is. The rate of addiction is about 23%[1], compared to alcohols 15%. You don't get addicted just b…

It's not about speed. It's about finding the vocabulary of vim natural (which it seems you don't, which is fine). 'di(' for instance deletes the inside of parentheses. Which is a n…

I think what a lot of people mean when they say consciousness is "what is being directly experienced" (ie. the experience of ones own existence). Now there's seems to be more restr…

> But beyond the terror you could see, there was nothing -- just pure cold and calculating rational self-serving thought. Apart from his feelings he didn't have feelings? I appreci…

As far as I see it. The point is that a big wealth gap is detrimental to a society. Having a good minimum wage is a good way to reduce such a wealth gap.

Well, if no one would work the unrewarding jobs, and they were needed. The wages for these jobs would go up. As Bertrand Russell said there's two types of jobs. "The first kind is …
