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 packaging. It's a win-win. Those fancy cartridge razor

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 binary. I'm very anti-Brexit, but I'm sick

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 matter. Now, like it or not, we have a situati

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 disingenuous to say he is being pu

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 ratios of any food. What do you think the people aroun

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 falafel place is the best!

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 'open source' (as it gen

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 dumbphone. I face a lot of pressure through work to have one th

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 product specs. I cannot see how it could be interesting enough o

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 support images too. I find them great for websites wher

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, pedals, etc too. Not cheap stuff either, I would send £500

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 things like social media (early days of FB), cloud storage, Y

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+ for a while, because the people on it weren't the m

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 waiting for the train to depart. 'Such a friendly city. Bea

My issue with this is that in a way it gives strength to their argument - i.e. segregation reinforces the concept of there being a fundamental difference between the two groups.

It's quite clear the OP is speaking in an anecdotal manner. The use of [citation needed] is one of the most infuriating, passive-aggressive internet trends perpetrated by people who clearly don't understand the point of citations

This is just a made up stereotype. They only place you see this trend is in angsty teens or Reddit users who tend to be vocally hormonal about anything. I have met far more people who tell me cliches about vegans than I have vegans who tell

That's backlash against a fake youtube shill, not specifically about someone giving up a vegan diet. Same reaction would occur for any vocal activist caught doing the antithesis of what they preach.
