I've seen reports of the fediverse getting a bump in users. End of the day you will almost never see news about it because it has no marketing budget, and offers no investment opportunity. Money talks.

It remains imo the best social platform because of those reasons.

Why is that suprising?

There is no logical reasoning happening, it has no concept of right and wrong, let alone that it can force a specific percentage of wrongness.

the t480 has two batteries! one internal and one removable. The laptop using the `tlp` package and a WM like i3wm - which I prefer for functional reasons - discharges at around 5 watts when idle, and running heavy stuff brings it up to 17W max.

Highly recommend this: you can hit 50% to 70% discount from original price, plus contribute to reducing e-waste.

I've been using a third-hand T480 for many (5? 7? Can't even remember anymore) years now, and it's probably the best Linux experience anyone can hope for. Performance vs. efficiency is crazy - easily hitting 20 hours, screen-on battery life after all this time and many full discharges.

If nothing else, the tree ul-list css class is good enough that it should be part of the HTML spec (as in: a <tree> tag) imo. What an incredibly useful thing that is.

TIL about worktrees, a feature I've needed in the past but didn't expect to even exist.

Impressive writeup. The deterministic aspect is not super popular anymore, I guess, but this entire post does make me wonder how the networking layer compares to a slightly more modern multiplayer game.

That is entirely dependent on the type of steroidal nosespray. There are types that don't cause dependence or stuffy nose when not used.

I disagree, because I believe it's quite difficult to write in that uncanny valley of particularly creepy texts, without showing any matching creepy imagery.

Yes, but the reality is that EC2 is optimized for a target audience who wants to customize the deployment beyond a linux box with a public IP.

But iirc following the "Launch Instance" wizard and choosing defaults for everything, as well as a (default) public subnet gives the exact thing you're asking for.

You're probably right, and battery life varies a bit day-to-day. I haven't done a formal test to double check my statements above, more just a feeling.

I've had the phone for a while and the battery has gone through many cycles. It has definitely lost some capacity.

Not great. With suspend enabled and if I don't use it much, about 8 hours to 0%. If I leave it on (i.e. disable suspend), about 3 hours.

I'm honestly almost always near a charger, which I also realize is just a cope.
