Saints, for real ? The rate of consumption of Americans would require more than 5 planets to be sufficient,

Most African countries need less than one

You mention mining and deforestation but where do you think the material extracted are going ?

Asked:

> I said "frick" to my cat

Got:

NTA - You can say “f*” in nearly every country in the world, it’s not exactly a swear word. I’m pretty sure your cat doesn’t understand what the problem is. If you say “f*” with a bit more force it sounds like you’re saying “f** you” to the cat.

Edit: you can’t actually swear in front of your parents, but you can say “f**”

i'm conviced

I have a ~ 10 minutes walk commute to work and event I share your opinion, I wouldn't want to go back to the office either

I used to work remotely for a different continent + 9 hours diff timezone and that was as painful as it can get: different hours for meetings, not knowing anything about my coworkers was really exhausting

But with the ability to go back to the office only when I need to and focus on my work much better at home, I don't think I'd ever want to go back anytime soon

Yeah but this year the number of people working from home that would connect to slack directly at the beginning of their work day must be much much larger than the other years

I absolutely hate how tumblr implemented their cookie policy. Doesn't GDPR forces vendors to have an easy opt-out from all button ?

In any case, i took the trouble from opt-ing out and archiving the page : https://archive.is/2hADS

While I agree that the article does a poor job at explaining why they are affected by the changes in the Audio API, I advise you to visit the chromium bug tracker issue [1] and check for yourself how many user/libraries/pages are affected by the problem:

The worst thing about messenger stories would be how they are force feeding it to you in the app ( I'm not sure they even show up on the web version).

Literally 30% of the screen is useful and the rest of bloated by some non-dismissable crap
