it takes a bit of time to put filters over website so it is normal to have that but I will see what I can do with it

and

androids do usually have a greyscale mode on the devices preinstalled, I can work around a bit to make it compatible with firefox android as well but I think an app is what you are looking for? greyscaling particular apps right?

Your plugin for Firefox Android would be great.

Greyscale mode is an option I'm using right now.

Very nice extension! Sometimes the first image on a page is briefly displayed in color, maybe it's my computer (Firefox under Linux). Is something like this also possible for Android?

I watch his TED talk once a year about the psychology of evil and make me aware of the seven rules that he has established.

7 Processes that Grease the Slippery Slope of Evil

1. Mindlessly taking the first small step.

2. Dehumanization of others.

3. De-individuation of self (anonymity).

4. Diffusion of personal responsibility.

5. Blind obedience to authority

6. Uncritical conformity to group norms

7. Passive tolerance of evil through inaction or indifference

Every time one of those fantastic items gets explained, it's always mundane and boring, and never dampens the enthusiasm for the next one.

I recall one about B+W photographs of "wood elves" taken around 1910 or so by a couple girls. The girls insisted it was genuine. Photographic experts declared the photos were genuine and could not have been faked.

When the girls were in their 80's, they finally confessed that the "wood elves" were drawn on paper, cut out, and propped up with sticks. They took photos of it with a brownie camera. They laughed with glee at the credulous people who took it seriously (because they so wanted to believe in wood elves).

Even Arthur Conan Doyle wrote an article about the Photos.

Found foobar2000 in 2005 when I wanted a lightweight music player to play heavy metal while I played Counter-Strike Source.

17 years later and it is still my music player of choice. I've gone through maybe 6 different UIs/skins with it, all of them wildly different. My most recent being a sort of "return to form" [0].

I've since also set up a Raspberry Pi with OMV installed to act as my music server, so I can access my library from around the house.

How do people use these sort of things? I'm genuinely curious. It's not even that fancy of a calc app, since you can't support numpy or plotting.

If someone could implement something similar to http://www.mathworks.com/mobile/ for Python, now that would be cool!
