I must say that Mozilla have made the right call with extensions in Firefox 57.

Web extensions are probably a small part of it but I have switched back to FF after ~5 years of Chrome. I also like the redesign but the killer feature was the noticeable speed up.

I consider myself a fan again!

I do the Berlin-Stuttgart train journey regularly to visit my parents and quite like taking the train as it gives me a block of uninterupted time to read, work and just plain relax that I usually take for myself.

So this sounds like an excellent way of making this even more enjoyable. I think I will give this a try next time I'm travelling south.

I live in Germany and it is by no means a "giant brothel". Yes, there are large ones scattered around motorway exits and industrial parks. To me, them being tacky capitalist sex shopping centres is preferable to being underground, dingy and dangerous.

Trafficking and exploitation is definitely a problem but I'm not sure if the law change from 2001 has made matters worse or better.

I'm assuming this is primarily meant for apps that get deployed to in-house servers rather than being submitted to the public Debian repositories, whose packing guidelines are indeed quite strict.

I really don't like it but I can't shake off my smug European sense of being weirded out when I read about how atheists are seemingly treated in America.

Is it really as bad as it's made out in this article or on Reddit? Do your neighbours really get into your hair because you don't have a faith?
