algieg··on Ask HN: How are Digital Nomads coping with travel restrictions?
I am from the EU too. I was just wondering what the advantages of the UK/Ireland are in getting from a non-Schengen island to the continent as opposed to some other non-Schengen countries with no land connection. There are separate airport gates for Schengen and non-Schengen destinations. Had no such doubts about Croatia but thanks for the comment!

Just curious: how do you do that with UK or Ireland since they are non-Schengen countries on islands?

To everyone running it in Firefox: "Unfortunately, Mozilla still hasn't fixed the performance bug 1190398 around ShadowBlur, filled for BLCK4777 5 years ago.

Therefore you need to use a Chromium or Webkit browser to enjoy MONOSPACE live."

Adaptive use would be awesome. Especially on conference calls at work there is always that one (or ten) person whose connection is absolutely awful and looks like a giant pixelhead.

That's actually legal in my homeland. There are specific conditions (e.g. personal use without economic goals) but it's generally OK. Note however that this applies to downloading from a server where the transfer goes one way. Torrenting would constitute copyright infringement as it is a two way transfer and counts as sharing copyrighted works.
