Dear @firefox@twitter.com,

When I enable dark mode, I would like to not receive a white flash each time a new website start to load.

Also applies when there's a network error.

Thanks from all the night owls…

If you're interested in privacy online, there's an excellent website called DarkPatterns.org which explores the dirty tricks some sites use:

The EU is asking what they should do to support FOSS.

We all know that Google (with Chrome-ium) has at least close to 90% of the browser marketshare on the internet.

Which is your primary browser on your computer?

Remember that Brave, Opera and Edge are Chromium derivatives. I consider Safari to be separate since it's Webkit and not Blink.

Retoot this to get more votes in.

23. don’t interrupt flow of thought. if a user is opening an application, they usually have some specific task to complete. nagging them at this point in time about software updates or handy tips is very user hostile.

My gf's learning html. Nobody told her that vim's a strange tool for genius programmers, so I just told her it was a normal tool, showed her insert and escape, then let her get on with it.

Half an hour later, I showed her another vim command.

Someone with almost zero education, who can't type properly, is programming in vim because nobody told her it was difficult. I know people who can program in Haskell who aren't sure if they can do vim.

Hey you fine #linux people of fediverse! If any of you are interested in #nix and #nixos, I can chat with you here or on matrix @balsoft:balsoft.ru (https://riot.im/app/#/user/@balsoft:balsoft.ru?action=chat) or on https://t.me/balsoft . You can also join #nix:matix.org, #nixos on freenode or https://t.me/ru_nixos and ping me there. I am doing this for the purpose of getting more people to use nix/nixos.

Corrected some long standing bugs on my laptop :) @gnome #guadec2019
