Let me guess before reading: cheap labor? Basically it's a developed country, speaking a European language, with European culture, highly skilled labour, and some of the cheapest salaries in the continent. It's closer than shipping from Asia , so also easier to control quality (which is a big problem when ordering from Asia, specially small amounts). All these extra things mentioned are basically nice to haves, or directly lead to cost reduction.

Yeah? That's why OP posted it here, there are no stupid questions here.

She knows her target audience, who are not smart enough to understand that more bikes and transit means less road traffic, which is better for car drivers. People with one car want the ability to drive thousands of cars. It's beyond greedy and stupid.

Linux sucks because the problems are sometimes hard to solve and you have to solve them yourself. Windows and Mac suck because the ability to solve hard problems is actively being kept away from you by the gatekeepers.

I much prefer "hard to solve".

At least this should show Disney that the problem isn't that people don't watch new IP. This trailer is so boring.

You don't own the radio waves. The government will come after you if you run unlicensed antennas.

I already block so many keywords and communities here. It's hard to keep up.

Thank you mods for helping keep some places free of US politics.

I tried Deezer and Tidal but I missed features I use all the time with Spotify... Namely the ability to control another device, casting and multiple users casting to the same smart device. With these, it makes it quite hard to use alternatives in a shared home. The catalogue is essentially the same.

The roll+cutter allows printing in both A4 and A3 which is amazing.

A lot of luxuries and technologies we have today arose from war and conflict. We knew we needed to rely less on the US for a long time, we just needed a real shake.

I only buy Canadian maple syrup. Does Canada export anything else?

These cars take pictures of everyone that approaches the vehicle.

 
 
 

I'm not one to usually diss new UI changes, but this one grinds my gears.

Firefox for Android has released a new menu design. It organizes everything a little differently, which is alright it looks fresh. But 2 things are really annoying and a continuous design trend in Firefox.

  • The option to open page in external app has been tucked away in a sub menu. I used this often and it was in the top level menu before. Companies just love hiding things in menus for no reason.
  • the option to open a private tab as a normal tab is GONE. This is how I use Firefox: someone sends me a link, I click on it and it opens in a private tab by default. If I need to sign in to see it (e.g. private Instagram links) then I open it in a normal tab. This option is now simply gone.

So yeah that's my rant. I'll see if I open a bug requesting the 2nd issue back.

 
 

I personally been using it for almost 5 years. I heard about it from a colleague a few years before that but I forgot about it, and then an online ad reminded me to check them out again.
