    I'm able bodied, but years back suffered tremendous pain, that led to me having to lie down on my back and use the computer with a keyboard. And TBH even that was a pain. I got qui…

    Using google to find specific websites, only amounts to me typing hacker news or facebook. That's about it. My main bulk of queries are question based, but I'm also from a previous…

    People kind of go through a contrarian phase. I read something the other day, probably on Twitter, that to get the answer you want, you deliberately put out the wrong answer. And l…

    I was reading some tech article the other day. Something like 10 best Foos or something. And there was no date on it. A commenter said, great article but no date, and the author re…

    What was bump.me? Photo sharing is why Instagram, Facebook and Whatsapp is insanely popular. Sharing photos is just difficult. I've had to resort in the past of putting a small web…

    I abandoned bluetooth early on, because I kept having issues. Stubborn pairing is still a pain. For music, I bought a DLNA renderer (more like a Chromecast), and just assumed that …

    Aha, that's why I never spotted it. What have I missed!?

    Never seen the option in compose for a fleet? How do you do one?

    So does this still use Presto, and is there any forward movement on it?

    Crashed it, before even getting going with it on the content blocking prefs. Otter 1.0.02 on Manjaro. qt.qpa.xcb: QXcbConnection: XCB error: 3 (BadWindow), sequence: 580, resource …

    Logo could do with a makeover. Possibility of a really nice cute graphic. Firefox seem to have repeatedly missed that opportunity. And the O is a bit reminiscent of Opera. ( I read…

    Oh man I got poisoned by some bought canned kidney beans used in a salad, and it wasn't pretty.

    I went through a raw food phase, and there was something distinctly satisfying about bean sprouts. And crunchy salads. Cooked food seemed so dull by comparison. The jar method is g…

    I tried win 10 recently on older hardware with 2gb ram. Long story short: totally unusable. Turned on Win 8.1 on machine with 2gb ram. That was pretty usable and almost pleasant by…

    It doesn't always work. I have two machines, one that has issues with a north bridge, which initially prevented shutdown and prohibits, suspend and hibernate. And another where the…

    I get this. I have a low spec phone by today's standards, and it has android 10, it is pretty useless practically. It is pretty much stock. And I would gladly go back some versions…

    I know this is vaguely off topic. But main point was that boot up times aren't bothersome for stable systems with long uptime. When boot loops feel almost mandatory to get anywhere…
