>None of them work in a way that satisfies my requirements

care to expand on which areas the units are lacking in? I've thought about getting presence sensors recently

The model release is nice. I won't sing their praises for it because that plays into the long term strategy of a company I despise.

Is that intellectually dishonest?

To add another data point, I've been hosting a (tiny) matrix server for a few months. I'm pretty comfortable with self-hosting using docker, so I opted not to use the ansible scripts in the hope that it'd keep my setup simpler and more maintainable. Somehow I didn't find any mentions of ESS until Synapse was already up and running, but Kubernetes would have been a dealbreaker for similar reasons.

In this short time I've run a database migration (sqlite is the default, but MAS requires postgres), tried and failed to migrate to MAS (required to use Element X) and have lost a couple of days messing around with coturn and eturnal with nothing to show for it -- my calls still don't connect when NAT is involved. I have to tell new users to ignore the recommendations to install Element X until I get MAS working.

There's a lot of room for foundational improvements here, even updating docs to point would-be server admins to the recommended setup du jour would help.

I'm not suggesting a drop-in replacement within that context, just that widening the definition of sideloading does us no favours

'installing from beyond the walled garden' would be a nice fit here imo

Yes but fdroid is facing restrictions while adb is not

> sideloading

It's called installing. Language matters and I see no reason to concede this point in Google's favour.

Looks like a cool product, and I'd be interested to see if it could work as a more capable replacement for my android tablet.

That said, I'm crossing my fingers for an AMD offering in future. Battery life is a huge consideration in this form factor for me, and Intel tends to be underwhelming at best.

Likely non-commissioned officer.

I think GP means to say find someone with the business context and experience you lack, who you can rely on as a 2IC (second in charge).

I find myself caught out more often by incomplete where clauses — paranoid dry runs with rollbacks have saved me more than once.

Also fwiw DataGrip asks for confirmation before running an update or delete without a where clause

I remember playing that! It would have been on a Nokia 6300 though, I wasn't very adventurous with phone colours

It's more like waiting 2-3 days after roasting. Beans should ideally be used within 2-4 weeks of the roast date, with darker roasts/blends being more forgiving.

the grind needs to be adjusted for room conditions (temperature and humidity). What typically happened in the cafes I've worked in is the barista would dial it in in the morning (by taste) and then adjust in the afternoon. Worth mentioning that these places use grinders with much smaller increments than your typical domestic grinder.

For the record, single origin beans for black coffee have lost most of their top notes 2-3 weeks after roasting

>...working together on one definitive GNU/Linux DE

No thanks. GNOME dev hubris is the reason I use KDE

Agreed, though somehow fextralife manages to be even worse

Butter is a common ingredient in pastries, which require extreme precision for consistent results
