I used to have anxiety like this, keeping a good budget that pays me “fun money” helped a lot with this.

The average person doesn’t own a computer anymore, but I think steam users are pretty representative of people who want to use the OS that markets itself as “The next generation of Linux gaming”

61% of steam users have 1tb or more total hard drive space.

Ianother problem is whatever you have that charges the keyboard, you’d need ~109 of them. I still think it’d be cool tho

Where are you getting that number? There are many different types of supercapacitors, which vary in lifespan quite a bit, the conditions (mostly voltage and temp) also have a big impact. The article doesn’t specify the type of cap used.

For instance this paper tests a supercapacitor rated for 2.7V at 2.5 and 3v. At 2.5v the cap is estimated to have a lifespan of 100yrs, with 3v scenario it’s 10.

Keyboards don’t get very hot, and the voltage draw is very predictable so I don’t think designing a long lasting capacitor for this usecase is particularly tricky.

I would be worried about the lifespan of the solar panel, but at least it’s still usable without that.

Yeah I understand why in this specific case, the obvious corruption. But the framework of laws allowed this abuse, and I want to know why this is even possible, why is unconditional discharge a sentence that is allowed to be handed out, because to me, I can’t see a not corrupt way it could be applied, and it doesn’t seem like a new thing, just a rare thing.

From my own research I found this: https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/unconditional-discharge-trump-sentencing-hush-money-rcna187044

Which isn’t a totally satisfactory answer, but is at least some examples of it being used elsewhere.

Isn’t tik tok closing down in the us in a day or so?

Could someone explain a non corrupt use of an unconditional discharge? I’m confused how such a sentence is even permissable under the system at all

I find it way too frustrating to clean the strainer out, I personally just buy unbleached paper tea bags (i am 100% sure they don’t have plastic) and put my loose leaf into that.

Teabags in prepacked tea annoying the crap out of me, why can’t they be paper it is literally just as good.

I buy my tea loose and then spoon it into unbleached paper tea bags. I find this a good compromise between prepacked tea bags and use a reusable steeper (which i hate cleaning out and rarely remember to do so.

I think the only thing that will really push adoption is if more systems ship with Linux preinstalled and those laptops are advertised primarily with linux. People aren’t going to go buy a usb drive, figure out how to download an image and how to download and install a flasher and how to use that flashing tool, not when google and apple actively hamstring computer literacy in schools. They probably won’t even click the “budget penguin thing” unless they already know what it is and have been sold the story of linux on that specific laptop.

I think it’s more people discovering linkrot, and social media platforms downranking links more than simple knowledge of screenshots. Deep fried memes have been a thing for literally forever, remember demotavational posters that always ended up nested to hell:

Not to be overly negative, but what are fans playing for these days? I only played the original 2 games and the (first?) North American one.

It seems people hate the modern stories, the gameplay is shallow at best and it’s parkour has been far surpassed by many other games by now. The games are very often used as examples of modern AAA studios having no creativity and just churning out the same game over and over. The games look beautiful and I’ve heard the educational versions are pretty useful, but what are the primary draw these days?

Again I don’t want to be a hater, that’s just what I’ve picked up from other people talking about it.

Next you’ll tell me penis enlargement pills don’t work and my Nigerian prince isn’t going to pay me back.

I use Buckets . It’s a small 1 person freeware, dev asks for a 30 dollar one time donation but it isn’t mandatory. It’s based on the software and idealogy of ynab which enshittified several years ago. The learning resources of ynab should be mostly compatible but I haven’t looked at it in a while.

It interopts with simplefin, an open source tool that reads your bank transactions and gives read only access to buckets. It costs 10dollars per year to use their servers. It creates some annoying quirks that is mostly the fault of my bank but its passable. The app can also take csv files if you would prefer (which most banks allow you to export).

So if you have bad diarrhea, that’s niether brown nor compact and I’m guessing is less bacteria by weight (because of its higher water content), would that still be chyme and not feces?

If one employee sucks fire them. If all your employees suck maybe you should do something to attract better talent.

Oooo time for me to reveal my hottest take. Politicians are generally very underpaid. When a job puts you under a microscope, involves people yelling at you and inherently lacks job security it better be pretty well paid. And yet any electable, competent politician could turn around and make at least 2-3x as much (as they are making legitimately at least) doing something else and keep having weird sex without newspapers writing stories about them. No one who is rational and not evil would ever go into politics just for money of it so all that’s left is the corrupt, the truly dumb and the unpractical idealists.

If you want better politicians then pay for it. Give them all multi-million dollars salaries, ban them from stock exchange, and keep paying them even if they lose.

Yet we also are struggling to make sense of this unconscionable act and the vitriol that has been directed at our colleagues who have been barraged by threats. No employees — be they the people who answer customer calls or nurses who visit patients in their homes — should have to fear for their and their loved ones’ safety.

The subtle implication that all the vitriol is directed at front line workers instead of the executive team is infuriating and calculated.

Health care is both intensely personal and very complicated, and the reasons behind coverage decisions are not well understood. We share some of the responsibility for that. Together with employers, governments and others who pay for care, we need to improve how we explain what insurance covers and how decisions are made.

A hollow apology, the problems with US healthcare is not a communication problem.

Those were the only two sentences that aren’t just empty platitudes in my opinion, at least within what I can read for free.

It’s a long way from over, a lot more can happen.
