It seems odd that there are no obvious ways to write a disk image to a USB flash drive from a Linux system, when there are so many options for burning images to a CD. I often find myself wanting to run a “Live CD” and using a flash drive instead is both faster and less wasteful.
Nice User Styles for Firefox
Two things annoy me when browsing the web:
- The outline given to focused elements is a useful hint from an accessibility perspective, such as for keyboard navigation, but in Firefox it’s even displayed when you click a link with the mouse.
- Textareas with a proportional font. I often input code, for example when commenting on reddit or on GitHub issues. A fixed-width font is much better for these situations.
So I decided to do something about it.
