No. If mine goes single digits, it's a crap shoot. It can take 30 minutes to go from 20% to 10%, but it will shut down 5, 3,or 1 minute after it hits 10%.

I have never had a phone where the developers were such shit at coding the voltage estimation, or designing the hardware doing the measuring, or whatever combination makes it so random.

Never buying another Samsung again. Mainly because if the uninstallable bloatware, but crap like this battery thing is also infuriating.

As @catloaf says, you need to provide nor specific information.

Did you use LVM? Or just btrfs? If the latter, adding space to a volume is trivial - a single, simple command. It's a little more involved with LVM, but not crazy much so.

This is a good list.

There are three kinds of Linux commands:

• commands I use frequently
• commands I've never seen or don't know about. There's almost nothing in standard POSIX that falls in this category, and a lot of OSS that does. E.g., I use to always reach for fuser until I realized it's not a base install on many distros, so I switched to lsof which is is, and is also both more powerful and harder to use.
• commands I've seen before but use so infrequently I forget they exist, or what they're called. This is sadly a larger set than I'd like.

Some of these in this list are the third kind.

It's an interesting idea. I think it's just the phrasing. You're giving someone, socially and conversationally, an instruction. That's bound to illicit a knee jerk "you're not the boss of me!" reaction, mentally if not verbally.

What? Is this an AI post? It makes no sense. Nothing in here is even vaguely true.

And also because if we included Pluto, we'd have to include another half dozen Pluto-sized dwarves we've discovered since.

But, yeah, my understanding is that it's really about dominance. Pluto is too submissive. Not alpha enough, if you will.

Can you give me an example of the first two points? I haven't encountered that colloquialism yet. I've heard "a hot minute," which is clearly a just a figure of speech and would be absurd to ridicule, but it sounds like you're talking about something else. I just don't understand the second. I'm absolutely certain there's some slang being used in circles I don't frequent, so I'm not questioning you, I'm just curious. What's the hip new slang, dog?

I admit to using amaze-balls. So does my wife, sometimes. It's an amaze-balls term.

That sounds horribly transactional. Like you're asking people to apply for a job as your friend.

That may just be me, but I wouldn't react well if someone approached conversation like a job interview.

It's also fair to point out that your browser may not know your external IP; if you're behind a NAT, like a home LAN, your computer probably thinks its IP is the LAN IP, an address shared by millions of computers the world over. If you're using a VPN, your external IP (which JavaScript could get) is the IP of the exit node - an IP shared with possibly dozens of other people. Of you're not using a VPN, well... that's on you. That's privacy 101.

They don't mention enshittification - I think Doctorow popularized the term later - but this is a perfect example of a process that contributes to the phenomenon.

I had never thought about it in these terms, but they repeatedly mentioned curation, and it's so clearly a fundamental topic in today's online world.

This was an incredible video, thanks for sharing. It gave me a new perspective to consider.

That's the thing with ethics: they aren't generally written anywhere. That's where being a decent human being comes in.

Without the Holocaust, there'd have been no international horror over the atrocities of concentration camps, gas chambers, human experimentation, genocide. Anti-Jewish sentiment was rampant around the world.

Progressives made a lot of progress off the back of WWII, and the anti-fascist sentiment in the US that survived until the greatest generation died and their grandchildren took over. It's entirely possible that, without WWII, the fascism we see in the US today would have happened much earlier, and we'd have run our own concentration camps.

Ironically, the people who probably would have benefited most from preventing "Hitler" would be the modern Palestinians, because without Hitler, Israel would not exist today, and it wouldn't be carrying out a genocide.

Huh. My cousin is a professor, and my best friend is a high school teacher. They're both responsible for developing their curriculum. That's only an n=2, but it's 100% that if they (the people I know) hate their curriculum, it's their own damned fault.

Someone will probably step up. It sound like the big blocker is governance - there are people willing to contribute, but whomever has control is not doing a good job of administering the project. At least, that's what I read between the lines.

Someone will probably fork it, get popular, then suddenly the original maintainers will find motivation, try to scramble to regain directional control, and be discarded because everyone lost faith in them.

Or, we're really about due for a new generation. Snap's a hot pile of steaming shit, Nix is simply awful for package managers to work with, Flatpak is directionless, Guix is like every other big GNU failed attempt to be an also-ran, and a lot of lessons have been learned from all of these. I expect someone will come out with something cleaner, leaner, and without all of the baggage; maybe with some backwards compatability with Snap, Flatpak, and AppImage packages.

Maybe not, but the situation is ripe for something like that. Just don't let it be based on god damned Lisp. I respect the hell out of Lisp and Lisp machines, but I absolutely hate having to work with it.

What? Teachers hating their subject?

Yeah... for the authors. That's fine. You downloading my FOSS, packaging it and selling it is slimy carpet-baggery.

This is exactly why nobody has announced they've cured aging. The scientists are all afraid of being kidnapped.

A thing that keeps me from believing in any conspiracy theory about aging having been cured and only being reserved for the powerful is because of people like Elon, Bezos, Trump, and O'Connell. They're each powerful in their own way, and none of them are aging gracefully. O'Connell looks like the fucking Pale Man.

Seriously. Nobody's seen these two in the same room at the same time. Coincidence? I think not.

"You get a scientist, and you get a scientist... everyone gets a scientist!"

With my luck, I'd get a mycologist or something.

I remember that!

They look way less detailed and fabulous than I remember; that's imagination for you. I just remember them being nearly as tall as I was, and it was glorious.

Yes! I completely agree. The distinction is, to me, utterly important: they aren't selling the software, they're selling the service. Hell, if they want to sell the option to get your bugs fixed on demand, great! That's enormously different than taking millions of developer hours spent creating OSS, sticking a label and name on it, and then reselling it as if you made any real contribution to the OSS community.
