I think we can have both things. There's no particular reason why the various revisions of a digital product can't be kept available. For example: I keep both the Star Wars Despecialized Edition and the blu-ray release on my jel

Part of the problem is that 'the company' accepts this 90% downtime, but managers running standups are paid to maximize productive output of their staff. So you'd be lying to your managers with the end goal of behaving as the

I'm not that guy but I made the same switch. It's mostly that I despised the way that, fundamentally, plex was in control of what user saw when they first logged in. They kept adding bs and less technical users kept feeling like t

From what I remember from back when I first read up on this project: The goal is for as much of the construction to be done with simple tools and materials that can be stored long-term. If you need to, hypothetically, bury your society-boot

Sod? Maybe? People say "Sod that" in Britain. I don't know why you'd censor that though.

I think how we got to this position is key - people did try and explain why vaccines are safe and you should take them. And it didn’t work. The thing that does lover vaccine hesitancy is banning people spreading misinformation. It’s unf

I think there are, for lack of a better concept, tiers to climate change actions. Eating less meat would be something very personal, and I think you're right on there being an aversion totally unrelated to news, or propaganda of any ki

Honestly I'd be stoked if they went to Mars since quality of life would inevitably be awful, since at minimum the lower gravity will cause compounding health issues.

Well the real answer is large-scale political action. But the (American) political system is designed on the assumption that a tendency to do nothing is safer than a tendency towards action/change. Unfortunately doing nothing isn&#x

First time I ever saw one of these was in this neat little project: https://github.com/joeycastillo/The-Open-Book I'm always delighted to see new open hardware projects, they always feel rare to me, and I'm s

It seems to me like you’d be doing a lot more good if you used that excess power for something like carbon capture. Bitcoin is surely pretty far down the list of useful applications of that excess power.

Previous efforts were more inaccurate, you may remember hearing jargon like “alpha waves” or “beta waves”. Participants would learn to move cursors by learning to create the neurological activity that was being listened for. This, on the ot

The best part about Matrix/Element, is that it could be Matrix/Anything. If Element is buggy, switch to another client.

Corn ethanol is widely considered a 'renewable fuel' by those invested in the oil industry, since it allows them to keep more of their accumulated capital. It's much less common amongst people who are attempting to improve th

I'm kind of in awe at this comment. Not for good reasons, but still. In case anyone is wondering, no, zebra mussels are still bad. No one was claiming they wouldn't filter water, a feature of all mussels. "So much for the exp

Water is not instantly harmful to unpowered electronics, especially distilled water. Just make sure there's no power and go to town.

I mean we, as members of the privacy-conscious technically-savvy group of internet users, are concerned. That doesn't provide much data on how many actual end-users are freaked out. It could be that when this is all over WhatsApp isn&#

You might try a Matrix chat app, https://element.io/ or some such. It's encrypted, you could run your own Matrix homeserver for maximum control too.

I'd definitely consider the trackpad terrible on my Pinebook Pro, but I'm surprised to hear you find the keyboard barely accepable, I thoroughly enjoy it.

"Daily use" might be a biiit of a stretch with this hardware, but it'll be functional. I think Pinephone 2, whenever that happens, will be a much more practical convergence device. Pine64's plans to upgrade to the RK3566

They also spent a significant amount of money convincing doctors to use opiates, and creating misleading or false studies about their safety.

To be clear, this when the phone is allowed to be in a sort of 'deep sleep' mode, this probably isn't representative of day-to-day use. The point remains though that more and more power management is working and things are im

They recently got power management working for more components, I've heard people are getting ~40 hours standby now. There's still some gains to be made here, so this may still improve.

This is pretty much my experience as well. The trackpad is my only complaint about the machine. There is some ongoing work to reverse-engineer the trackpad firmware (which is apparently behaving badly) from this guy: https://git

I find the trackpad actively bad. Though this is, apparently, due to the proprietary trackpad firmware not behaving correctly. There is some effort to reverse engineer it, mostly by this guy (as far as I know) https://github.com&
