My full name is my identity – immigrants shouldn’t have to change theirs to fit into Australia’s systems

No one in Sri Lanka would ever call me by my lineage name, the anglicised system used in Australia forces me to be a Liyanamohottilage Wijetunga; unfortunately, that … isn’t me

Firefox FEELS like it's loading pages slower but that's only because of all the digital garbage that's on every website now that Firefox has to block and deal with every time you load a page. Garbage that Chrome wouldn't do a damn thing about.

NYT has a story on the AC at Bhutan embassy in New York being too loud. I thought such dramatization of mundane was the job of tabloids.
