Where would I put this file on my Firefox install ?

I really hope this will support VR when it comes out.

I refer to myself as 'Daddy' when talking to my cats. I don't there's any hope for me.

Based on how we see so many 'OS in the Browser' links here on HN, am I right to be underwhelmed by this one?

I use: https://www.cultpens.com/i/q/PL00019/pilot-g2-07-gel-ink-rol... Perfect for my scrappy always-upper-case chicken scratch. I've tried so many other types of rollerball pens (…

Agreed. I feel sorry for Sten, not the company or the other employees. That said, even as shortly back in the 90s, mental illness was still ridiculed and something to be ashamed of…

The dungeon generation shown is the same as Brian Sawyer's 'Dungeon' game from 1979: http://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2013/02/game-85-dungeon-1979.... Not sure if Brian Sawyer is the…

This one... http://www.roysac.com/asciinudes/default.html#Joan ...is the all time classic. Every time I logged onto a new mainframe/DEC-VAX system, it'd be sitting in a folder some…

Unless you have a Android Blackberry device (KeyOne or Key2 etc) the free version of the hub is feature restricted, so you have to pay (an ongoing sub) to get the full Hub experien…

The main problem is that a lot of sites no longer show a link to their RSS feeds, or include a meta tag for it. So I've resorted to trying the following until the RSS reed comes up…

#1194 here, same situation. I feel slightly less irrelevant now. ;)

I tried this, but my work uses MS Teams, which doesn't honour do-not-disturb. When you set DnD on, the app STILL flashes it's taskbar icon, creating a distraction. The only way aro…

Dead link (HN hug of death?) Cached copy: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:eZI_am...

I can - send me an email.

Then maybe search engines should show a little 'paywalled' tag next to the result so the user is aware before they click?

Care to explain this?

Hi, my Christmas is solitary this year, no family or friends. I'm not even having a Christmas dinner. I'm not sad about this, though. It's just the way it is. What I wanted to say …

As much as I love HN, it is an echo chamber on some topics. Also sometimes people are too afraid to post a contrary opinion for fear of getting voted down to oblivion, as such some…

Thanks for the offer but... I know there's torrents of the whole lot out there, but for me part of the enjoyment is buying the discs (at a slow pace, due to budget), ripping them, …

I'm now using ffmpeg to transcode 'acquired' h265 media to h264 for my Pi. It would be nice if a future Pi could support h265.

In Kodi's settings you can specify a lower resolution for the menus. Not sure if that changes the controls overlay during playback though.

My Kodi set-up is a few-years-old copy of LibreELEC[1] set to NOT auto update. I've barely configured it beyond giving the SMB paths to my video collection. I ignore all the meta-d…

I want to build one of these for my Amigas, do you have a link to a schematic? Thx.

The main issue here I guess, is Tesla assisting the bailiffs. Bailiffs (here in the UK) have certain legal rights to enter and repossess your house and/or remove property you haven…
