If you're handling weight you shouldn't be handling, obviously; that's when form breaks.

Sorry to hear about your back.

You weren't doing it properly.
All fruit has an exorbitant amount of sugar. Carbs are carbs, regardless of whether the 'fruit is good for you.'

When people talk about trying to lose weight by eating more fruit, you can guess the outcome of how well they do.

Because I haven't seen it suggested yet- give Square Cash a try. Transfers appear in your bank instantly and it's dead simple. Dropped paypal last year and haven't looked back.

I was agreeing with you.

Applicable to so many things unrelated to magic.

Really interesting stuff.

Also interesting that something like gay shock therapy puts people on edge, meanwhile they can inject their 9 year old son with hormones so he can grow breasts and not many bat an eye at it anymore. "Perfect" is entirely subjective.

Seems to me that devs would only be smart (read: not in our favor or best interest) to go where the people are; what's the ChromeOS userbase compared to that of other OSes?
Re:Chrome is basically crippling Chromium's features on Thursday April 27, 2017 @06:54AM (#14210551)
Good riddance.

Plenty of other options out there that don't solely exist to harvest our data.

Evidently all Chrome apps are being phased out for Windows/Linux/Mac, so I can only assume they will. Not that Signal is a very feature-filled app or concept (it doesn't need to be), but it could definitely stand to be a bit more polished.

Biased censorship.
Re:Chrome is basically crippling Chromium's features on Thursday April 27, 2017 @06:20AM (#14210428)
That's just the Chrome Signal app playing catchup - not Chromium's fault. It's not the best app in the world. Really can't wait for the next iteration that isn't in Chrome form.
Re:From Ubuntu to Fedora or what distro? on Wednesday April 26, 2017 @10:21PM (#14208728)
That's odd. No insight as to what caused it?

Generally shouldn't be much of a difference you'd notice for those tasks other than the desktop environment.

Re:From Ubuntu to Fedora or what distro? on Wednesday April 26, 2017 @11:44AM (#14203981)
What's been your reasoning for switching every time? Pick a distro, stick with it, and learn to customize it to your liking.
Only a problem to them. This is the same company that redesigned their code to be 'inclusive' of all 72 genders that were created in the last year.

Any censorship, especially in this day and age, is too much censorship. Google has a huge say in what content is made readily available to people whether you like them or not.

Re:Ask HN: What Linux web browser do you use and why? on Wednesday April 26, 2017 @08:15AM (#14202319)
Certainly the first I've heard of anyone using Chromium while still connecting it to all of Google's services. I always assumed people used it to get away from that.
Re:Ask HN: What Linux web browser do you use and why? on Wednesday April 26, 2017 @08:04AM (#14202262)
I've recently moved back to Chromium after giving way too many other browsers a go, because it just works. I'm not at all into the idea of being a part of Google's ecosystem, but it seems to work more smoothly with my extensions (uMatrix, Privacy Badger, HTTPS Everywhere, etc) than Firefox.

Mostly just want to see what else is out there.

Agreed. Also using Doom and Bioshock in what seemed to be the same comparison, is pretty mindblowing.

Re:'Diet' products can make you fat, study shows on Tuesday April 25, 2017 @02:57PM (#14196869)
Carbs cause weight gain, especially when they aren't just refilling depleted glycogen stores. Fat by itself does not cause weight gain.

Really interesting that they still require 'studies' to prove these things that have been out in the wild for decades. Armchair nutritionists in your office will almost always say otherwise.

See: ketogenic dieting.

Science is a hell of a thing.
Re:Tamper Chrome extension to modify requests in flight on Tuesday April 25, 2017 @11:29AM (#14194386)
A bootable Linux distro that can be run from a USB key, like Puppy Linux.
Why is it a "Feminist" mission then? I read the rest of it. What does it have to do with "feminism" and of what relevance is the demographic/gender of purported editors? Why even bother mentioning it, if it's not meant to set the undertone?
> Wikipedia’s content and editors are both heavily white and male biased, often failing to respectfully reflect the ideas, values and viewpoints of women and minorities.

Stopped reading there. Wikipedia allows ANYONE to edit articles. Give me a break. This belongs on Tumblr, not THN.

Is it open source yet?
Maybe I'm just jaded, but are 15-16 year olds really not cognizant enough to avoid stuff like this? Either something is missing from the story, or there's some heavy fabrication here.
Re:Today – 20 years ago – Winamp was released on Monday April 24, 2017 @08:02AM (#14183528)
Try Lollipop. It's the best I've found, next to QuodLibet as someone else mentioned in this thread. The only places it falls short are not being able to edit tags directly, and having to click 'update music library' every time you add something to your monitored folder(s).
Non-ironic hypocrisy on The Guardian? I can't believe it.
