It's Ctrl+ù on French keyboards. Maybe they customized it for Portuguese keyboards too.

Cheers for the beautiful website that doesn't require javascript.

And reversely uBlock Origin doesn't block ads on Twitter and Tumblr, which makes it much less useful to me than Adblock Plus.

For this kind of anti-adblocking that loads the full page before hiding it, we can just display and read the full page with the "article view" feature. I use the Clearly extention …

The main point is that lithium is hard to get for European companies. Sodium is abundant in saltwater, which is good for European companies and good for a more massive use of batte…

Yes, as an example of excessive advertising, the biggest concert hall in Paris, which people just call Bercy because it's the landmark building of this neighbourhood, has been reno…

It's the boycott of a business model, more than of the companies who use it.

Too late, I've just unsubscribed. This issue was a last-drop motivator, the primary reason being that I don't like paying artists I don't listen while the lesser known artists I do…

10 episodes per season is indeed too little for a show. Especially when you have like 20 main characters.

Twitter's website has so many annoyances it is no more a pleasure for me to check it. For example: - Photos are very badly cropped and clicking on the tweet does not diplay them fu…

I think it's no one and for no reason. We're living in a hierarchist society (as opposed to an anarchist one). This hierarchy is naturally establishing itself in the greatest inven…

Considering Microsoft's efforts on Cortana and AI in general, I don't see them closing Bing.

http://passwordmaker.org does the same thing and already has extensions for all browsers.

I don't like the French version of Bing. One of the reasons is that it assumes I'm monolingual. Like, if I search for a film, I'll get the result for Allociné instead of IMDb. I mu…

It's a traditional way of singing in Mongolia I think.

This is from the independent Nokia that makes HERE Maps, not from the division acquired by Microsoft.

It depends on the quality of your screen. On my previous laptop I had a high-quality WLED screen and ST3 looked clearly better than everything else on Windows. On my current cheap …

Viadeo is more popular in France.

Yeah he wants a geographical recommendation system with tons of data that likely don't even exist online like restaurant menus, and have that quickly hacked in a week.

There's also no good search engine for audio messages. This may be a big deal for businesses, when compared with email.

*Receives automatic Android updates for up to 2 years. http://www.android.com/one/ I guess the poor can replace their phone every two years like the rich.

The concept of email is too fuzzy. Is it SMTP that will last forever? This technology is more like sending postcards that every middleman can read. Certainly a more private alterna…

Alpha Centauri is actually the right target for our first interstellar probe since it's the closest system. There's just no inhabitable planet there, as far as we know.
