I switched to a safety razor about 10 to 15 years ago. In that time I've bought two of them (one broke). All I need to buy are the safety razors which are cheaper and use less pack…

Yawn. I can see where this is going. If people don't show an outward display of fevered anti-Brexit sentiment they are immediately shot down as somehow pro-Brexit. It's not that bi…

Lots of things change in life, regardless of how much we don't want it or how fair it is. I don't want Brexit either, but that's not going to change it.

It's not. Plenty of people have done it.

That's not the same thing at all. Brexit is different. Prior to Brexit, country of origin really didn't matter. Who cared if you lived in Germany but had a UK passport. It didn't m…

I'm curious why he didn't apply for German citizenship two years ago when this process started. It's not like he isn't eligible. He's has been in Germany since the 1970s. It's disi…

That's analogous to the commonly held, stupid opinion that you may as well smoke because you have to die of something.

> It's worth noting for anyone that advocates this sort of diet that it is a luxury. Utter nonsense. A commonly perpetuated myth. Foods like lentils have the best cost-nutrition ra…

Bingo. It makes me laugh when people push this myth of ingredients like this being expensive. Do they think all those Indian mums are maxing out their credit cards to cook daal?

It's the first thing I recommend if someone asks me about vegan fast food (or healthier alternative to other fast foods). Forget all that impossible burger nonsense, a great falafe…

You can ban Facebook from your phone by choosing not use it.

Android and the apps (in this sense) are not 'open source' and, regardless, 'open source' is not the same thing as 'Free'. Richard Stallman is known for his hatred of the term 'ope…

Maybe the first step would be to stop financially supporting proprietary software/hardware and buying DRM'd media.

You make a very valid point. It can be easy to forget to consider environmental cost when we consider the cost of an item. I hate smartphones with a passion, so just use an old dum…

Serious question... How did this submission make it to the #10 slot, after being posted 38 minutes ago, and with a handful of comments? This is a very boring update about some prod…

I like Icecat (annoyingly not in the Debian repos). I've also started to make use of text browsers. Links and Links2 are two that I use. Links2 is a nice halfway option as it will …

Perfect match. They both offer a heavily marketed appearance of being Freedom and Privacy respecting, but actually just relying on the ignorance of customers.

It's more marketing BS to push the idea that somehow purisms products are Freedom and Privacy respecting.

It's a quick, crappy, cut-and-paste, article based on a recent interview with him. It's a complete trash article - standard for internet news now.

I agree completely. I used to be quite active in a guitar forum. It was almost like a family - complete with crazy fights and arguments too! I bought and sold several guitars, amps…

I agree with him 100%. I also feel like this cancer has spread beyond social media. The internet as a whole feels rotten. I grew up with the internet, so it felt natural to adopt t…

I think it was because of the type of people who were early adopters. Essentially, he thought it would produce a better class of discussion. EDIT: from his interview: 'I tried G+ f…

+1 Internet offended point to you.

Warsaw on a warm summer evening. The sun is setting and there is a beautiful sky above the equally beautiful city. You relax into you sleeper cabin, and gaze out of the window wait…

Thank you for sharing that interesting insight.
