  1. Re:China has also announced who will manufacture.. on China Reassigns 60,000 Soldiers To Plant Trees In Bid To Fight Pollution · · Score: 2

    According to my sources, 90% of those statistics are, in fact, correct, while the other 25% are explained through human error and inaccurate base data.

    This isn't about the 'view image' function of a browser, but the 'view image' button in google image search results.
    IOW they stop hotlinking the actual image.
    IOW open source or not, you cannot fix or work around that.

    If I'm already used to and familiar with "consoles", I sure would not want to put up with something different at home, so as to leave more time for myself. By the time I've processed the majority of new mail in my inbox, thunderbird wouldn't even have finished starting up.

    I'm stationed in Germany in 2018 and everybody drives a car, while taking a cab is ridiculously expensive (a couple Eur base price, then 2-3 Eur per km and some sort of time-based fee (since the meter runs even when the cab is stopped)).

    Actually your comment made me think you do *not* like all the bloat, and use (the horribly bloated) thunderbird because you don't know non-bloated alternatives

    Most mail fortunately is multipart, and for the occasional html-only mail you can have mutt defer to links in order to strip the html (which does or does not work depending on how broken the html is)

    Yep. Itâ(TM)s mind boggling just how advanced weâ(TM)ve become in our scientific endevors. We can detect planets at unimaginable distances , and particles unimaginably small. Science works folks, we ought defend it
