It's just another tool. You wouldn't only look in your passenger side mirror just because you have one. Use it along with all your other tools. Most standard cars have 3 mirrors and a backup camera. Most drivers also have necks they can turn.
They became required because a dad backed over and killed his own son. That father fought for years to make them required so no one would have to go through the same pain he went through. Why would you not want one? You could not look at it if you don't like it. But it's one of the best possible safety features imo, and it's dirt cheap compared to the cost of a car.
Does it have no ABS, or VSC or traction control? That sounds like it's only for enthusiasts, because the average driver is gonna crash (including me). Or is there a mechanic implementation for those?
There is an admin on lemmy.ml that seems to be banning anyone who says anything negative about China. If I'm thinking of the right person, they are also a large contributor to the Lemmy codebase. That person is why I stopped donating to the Lemmy devs.
I'm not sure what I did differently. I accidentally updated to Plasma 6 by just clicking Update All in the Discover app. I didn't even realize Plasma 6 was out yet for Tumbleweed. It worked perfectly for me.
Piano. I can play acoustic and electric guitar (yes, they are the same instrument, but you play them differently, and I can play both styles very proficiently), bass guitar, ukulele, drums, various percussion instruments, and I sing. I even played a stand-up bass one time and I was able to play it just fine after 5 minutes of dicking around. I have tried many times to learn piano but it's so damn hard. I can get by enough to record some basic stuff with some editing fuckery. But I'm nowhere near good enough to just play a song all the way through with it sounding good and without tons of mistakes.
I have found that economy experts say that things are counterintuitive more often that any other field. I think at this point I have just accepted that the economy is some black magic that I'll never understand. So I'm gonna smile, nod, and let the experts do their thing.
You most likely are flashing the bootloader, recovery, and OS all in one step. They can be combined into one image and all flashed at once. I doubt the Android bootloader would be able to boot Linux, but tbh, that's not my area of expertise, so I could be wrong.
I always use astrophotography photos that were posted by regular users on sites like lemmy or reddit. Currently my phone's is this one. And the one on my laptop is this one.
I like podman because rootless and daemonless are built-in and default. Yes, it can be done on docker, but you have to do a bunch of shit to get it set up.
You could create the alias alias docker="podman" and 99% of the time, you won't even be able to tell the difference since podman is a docker drop in replacement. All the docker documentation applies to podman as well. But since docker runs as root by default, some edge cases might not work out of the box (like binding to a port on the host less than 1000).
Podman comes with some neat tools like being able to create systemd service files to start and stop containers as services.
To use docker-compose, you'll need some additional packages. That's probably the biggest drawback to podman imo. Podman wants to use pods instead of docker-compose, but I think they gotta take their heads out of their asses and just support the more popular format on that one. Not to mention docker-compose is just plain better imo. Easier to define, easier to understand, easier to modify. The list goes on and on.
I used to be an Android device developer back in the Lollipop days. I compiled the various images myself, including the bootloader, recovery, and the Android OS. I can say with 100% certainty that at least back in the Lollipop days, and at least on the vast, vast majority of devices (a device could theoretically change this, and I don't know everything about every device ever released), the battery percentage that shows up when the phone is off is part of the bootloader, not Android. It's a separate image entirely.
My work uses Dell servers, which have this thing called iDRAC, which is a separate embedded system that can manage the server even if the server is off. The iDRAC can turn the server on even if it's off. Even if the server is off, you can log into the iDRAC and check the status of the server and see if there are any hardware issues, see if the server is on or off, update the firmware, etc.
This sounds like overkill for a phone, but I wonder if they are doing it this way, with a separate embedded system. If they did, it could potentially use only a small fraction of the battery power Android uses. It could potentially last weeks or even months on a charge.
More likely, it's booting a separate image - not unlike recovery mode - when it turns off, and like you said, it's not actually off. But it would be interesting if it has a separate embedded system just for tracking the location even when the OS is powered down.
Ideally they'll let you turn off this feature regardless of battery implications, because it sounds like a security concern if your location can be tracked even if your phone is off.
Edit: wow, I worded my first section really poorly. But I'm to tired to fix right now. Hopefully you understand what I was saying.
