Ah nice side-thing I just found out,
discussion.fedoraproject.org does
not show *anything* unless I let my browser access this website
http://discourse-cdn-sjc1.com
That doesn't feel right.
It kind of works with JavaScript not allowed from both
discussion.fedoraproject.org and
discourse-cdn-sjc1.com, but if you
allow JS from
discussion.fedoraproject.org only, it just shows you a
blank page.
And I agree, too much clicking. Reading e-mail with mutt on a terminal
is so much faster.

There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and
oppression to develop psychic muscles.
