I'm one of the people that does that. While I assume it's less efficient than using shift, once you get really used to it I would argue that there isn't a big difference, and that it's not as inefficient as you think. At least for day to day use and writing code.

I use it primarily because quicken on mac is completely useless when you have multiple accounts with different currencies. They even list your totals wrong like "100 USD + 100 GBP = 200 EUR" last time I tried it. And there aren't that many alternatives for personal use since i don't need anything extremely complex.

GNUcash is probably the ugliest piece of software that I use regularly, but at least it works. Depending on one's needs YNAB or Quicken might be a better choice though - but neither work well with multiple currencies or even accounts.

I'm from a European, but not an EU member country, and I got offered a senior software developer job in Germany. I applied for a 12 month work visa, even signed a statement that I will return when it expires, and it got denied.

So yes in theory it's "easy", but in practice it isn't always like that. (To be fair you're talking about Blue Card which I didn't apply for because I've heard it's bit harder to get since it's usually issued for period longer than 12 months)

I don't think I've ever seen it not reach at least 100% of the daily goal.

>I see no privacy policy on the shapeoftheweb.mozilla.org site though you are correct that they do post that privacy policy on the completely different website www.mozilla.org.

It's on the same subdomain, and it includes link to mozilla.org which has link to privacy policy which also applies to shapeoftheweb.mozilla.org:

>This privacy notice applies to Mozilla operated websites, which include the domains mozillians.org, mozilla.org, firefox.com, openbadges.org and webmaker.org. This includes, for example, bugzilla.mozilla.org, reps.mozilla.org, careers.mozilla.org, developers.mozilla.org, support.mozilla.org, addons.mozilla.org, and wiki.mozilla.org.

>There’s no account or sign-in required and nothing extra to download. Just start a conversation, send your friend a link and ask them to click it.

I don't think this is such a great idea, at least in my case, if I'm sending someone link for them to open instantly then I'm probably already using a platform that supports video conversations - for example Skype, which also has IM and some other stuff that FF Hello doesn't.

What is the worst that could happen due to this change?

Watching adult content isn't really something that "filthy perverts" do, nor is it considered as such thing.

If someone with access to that data (IPS, government, etc) wanted to know whether you watch porn or not they could just look at your web history.

As far as I remember this is an opt-in feature for developers who host their projects on sourceforge that makes the installer offer additional software, by 3rd parties, to be installed. That additional software may be malicious.

Well they do have money, while they may not have members that possess the necessary knowledge I'm sure they could finance such attacks.

That being said, they do not look to me like a group that would be using, and generally be interested in, such tactics.

It's not everywhere, it has no video chat, and nobody uses it. If it somehow manages to "kill" anything it definitely won't be Skype.

Probably just iOS with a full screen app that's started by default and some changes in the default settings.
