Ron Charles tells us that British singer and songwriter Dua Lipa has created a collection of banned books — called The Manifesto Library. It’s in Portugal. The new library is housed in the basement of Livraria Lello, in Porto. In a statement printed on the wall, Lipa writes, ā€œThis library is a shrine to books that...

For a long time I didn’t really understand how to use it properly, I was just able to make simple edits and had learned how to save and quit. Over...
TL;DR: Orbit runs each of your Google accounts in its own isolated WebKit session inside one native Mac window, for $89 one time instead of the $50 to $200 a year the alternatives want. It exists because you can de-Google yourself but you can't de-Google your father. The catch is that it only works as long as Google...
