rather than allowing edits for invisible edits for X minutes, couldn’t your client just delay actually sending it for X minutes allowing to cancel or edit freely until that point?

Gmail allows a similar feature and it seems safer in a distributed system than relying on everyone else to respect what happens after you send a raw message and an edit right after

The average user uses sleep mode and wakes from sleep. Sleep mode should be under 10w, or around $1/mo.

the problem with blaming companies is none of them do this out of desire to hurt the environment. they do it to meet customer demand.

as an example imagine if we all stopped buying gas from Shell. their environmental impact would plummet…and their competitors impact would go up as we continue to buy the same amount of gas from other companies

growing it like a garden is a perfect phrase imo

because on windows or Mac it may have just worked. …until it doesn’t, or leaves your windows scaled wrong or placed on monitors that don’t exist or some other failure condition. at which point you reboot and hope for the best.

when it doesn’t work on Linux I’d check logs, actual configuration, and even the source if I need to.and then I’d hopefully improve things and make it work the way I want it to.

it sounds like you understand the value of using water to clean your butthole after you poop… so why not spend the $30 on a bidet just in case you ever do have a poop and don’t want to shower? or hell just so you don’t use as much TP before hopping in the shower. or for anyone else using your toilet and not wanting to hop in the shower…

If adopt systems then the question is easy to answer: no, journald does everything you need.

without adopting systemd… well. Are you evaluating going without any log handling at all and maybe just dumping logs ephemerally to tty0? DIYing all log stuff like your init scripts DIY things?

Personally if I had to go without journald I’d probably go back to using syslog-ng. But I guess there’s an argument for shipping straight into something like opentelemetry-collector if you’re willing to put in a lot of work.

It’s similar. They did cause kernels to crash. But that’s because they hit and uncovered a bug in the ebpf sandboxing in the kernel, which has since been fixed

If anything the gap is bigger than ever as the top end shoes are basically performance enhancers like the nike airflys used to set most records…and their new vaporflys being banned in the Olympics.

I guess it’s better than hyper expensive shoes just being a paying for a brand thing?

Before launching products*

walled gardens are only a little less awful when still supported

The commerce should be regulated imo- there’s a lot of bad things people will do for profit when not properly regulated.

That doesn’t prevent you from growing your own or consuming your buds bud, that’s just personal use and does not need to abide by the same regulations

I think starlink is more than that as even more things rely on a (good) Internet connection ingeneral than rely on satellites, and traditional connectivity methods leave many people underserved even in countries like America let alone the world.

It definitely has its problems, if nothing else that it’s privately owned and anyone who wanted to compete would then massively amplify those problems.

the question then becomes how much weight are you adding/energy are you consuming by having to carry the weight. I honestly don’t know and considering how heavy batteries are it is likely not that significant, but if you are only getting a few % charge a day then anything eating into that is going to hurt.

I still see some merit in a more utility style vehicle where you do expect to take it out camping, but for a daily commuter I think most people would prefer the sunroof to the trickle charging.

Also as an apartment dweller… I just wish they’d make normal wall outlets more available. Not everyone needs a proper fast charger but only having a few inconveniently located ones to fight for also sucks. But if more spots could just plug in and slow charge that would be a huge improvement

it sounds like the unlikely outcome of two reasonable policies.

1. you might not get back the device you send in - say it’s a simple broken screen and they’re willing to cover it. its easier to just send you an already refurbished identical model and then toss your phone into the queue to be fixed later.

2. unauthorized parts may violate your warranty and whatever you send in isn’t going to get repaired.

They should still just return it. but if you know it’s not covered you shouldn’t really send it in and it makes sense to cover their ass policy wise even if they do make an effort to just return them.

It depends on the package really. Sometimes you’re better off without the fixes that occurred in the last 2 years if it means avoiding the new bugs in the last 2 years.

IMO the more you try to stick to the latest releases, the more important it is to continue to stay updated. but every upgrade is a chance for new bugs or just breaking changes, so for new users starting with a stable distro is a good choice.

… except for browsers, where you both need the newest features but REALLY need the newest fixes.

Agreed but I think the intent is still interesting. My interpretation would be that you can still talk to friends, but not about the vacation. Id still say yes but I’m curious if that changes it for you.

The more simplified question would be just not bringing your phone or a camera, but then id say no as that just sounds like a dangerous trap and isn’t really what the question is trying to ask- it’s more 'would you go on a vacation and just enjoy it, or do you only want to go on vacation so people know you went? ’

the other reply covered the actual ranges and why it’s important, but in case it’s not obvious:

You should never put hot food in the fridge. Particularly food with a lot of thermal mass like a bowl of soup or thick lasagna. While that would cool the food quicker than just leaving it out, the heat you’re adding is going to heat up the other items in your fridge and risk their safety. And since it will all eventually cool back down it will not be obvious what food was at unsafe temps or how long.

yeah if anything the problem is everything is a TSR program now. the generous explanation is because they want to offer the best experience possible and implement everything themselves.

… but the real explanation is they want more telemetry data, not just when you are using the app. not just when you’ve recently used it. but no you launched it once we must indefinitely run in the background and install services to launch on startup

a lot of their aio competition also sources parts from them also

slightly off topic but I’ve been disappointed with ultrawide support and really advise against it for most people. Many single player games that do support it clearly weren’t designed for it and just give you a prettier pillarboxed 16:9, like Hades adding some art on the sides.

And multiplayer games just crop your vision down so you have a weird FoV and see the same amount horizontally as a 16:9 user, but can’t see as much above or below you as they can. Proper support would let you see more horizontally than 16:9 players and since that’s the vast majority of players it’s understandable… but then anyone who does buy an ultrawide has to run it in 16:9 with pillarboxing or be at a disadvantage.

the content being scraped is from users, they do not control what bots are added to servers.

It’s much more like the Cambridge Analytics scandal in that users posted content that was shared with friends but not explicitly shared publicly, but those friends then granted a third party access to all of the data.
