Re:Blocking Untrusted USB Devices on Wednesday August 21, 2019 @12:13AM (#20754512)
From the manpage[1], you could also permanently allow a device by passing the "-p" option.

Re:ShadowFox – Dark Theme for Firefox on Tuesday July 09, 2019 @07:09AM (#20390628)
I'm using plata theme[1]. The only limitation is that FF Color doesn't apply to about:* pages, whereas SF does. I seldom change my settings anyway, so it's not an issue.

Re:GitHub removes 5 years of One Hour One Life designer's work on Wednesday June 05, 2019 @05:20AM (#20102675)

Took me a while to find out that you refer to the AUD amount. Where did you get the global pricing? I selected different countries, but the amounts still show as equivalent to the USD one?

Edit: They are using paypal rate (or close to it).
