- Comment on YSK that in 1994, Ukraine voluntarily gave up nuclear weapons. Europe and the United States promised they would defend Ukraine if it was ever threatened. 5 days ago:
That’s such a ridiculous thing to agree to, knowing that a country with a veto was the most likely aggressor. :(

Luanti (or Voxelibre which is a slightly closer clone of minecraft). My 6 year old is absolutely champion with the mouse from this.
If you want voxelibre you install luanti first then search for it under the “games” section.

- Comment on The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started 3 weeks ago:
OnePlus claim it’s not and a quick search does back that up. For the one specific to my phone they move a chunk of the work off the device (reducing heat on the phone) and onto the charger. It’ll still charge normally with any USB charger but it gets much hotter and is much slower compared to the OnePlus “warp” charge.
- Comment on The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, a friend of mine made a similar argument and I hear it. Personally I’m always right beside a fast charger so it’s not an issue for me.
My phone has an option to auto-stop charging at 80% so I use that. I will occasionally charge it to 100% but like maybe once a month. TBH if it had an option to stop at 90% I’d probably use that as a middle ground (my steam deck does and I use 90% with it). I got 5 years out of my last phone and I’m 3 years into the current one and hoping to get many more out of it.
- Comment on The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started 4 weeks ago:
For anyone wondering what “10,000 lifetime cycles” means, it’s full charge / discharge to the point that the batteries are at 80% of original capacity so 10,000 is to me an absolutely incredible number.
A typical phone battery is rated for about 500 (you can massively improve this by not charging it beyond 80%).

Just wanted, months later, to say thanks for this recommendation. I don’t get much gaming time but I did wishlist this and picked it up for a song and have been playing an hour here or there of it and thoroughly enjoying it.

- Comment on Head of the Signal app threatens to withdraw from Europe 1 month ago:
Google employee confirmed. Absolute trash reasoning verging on trolling it’s so ridiculous. Wild that you arguing so vehemently in favour of reduced access to use your hardware the way you want.
All of them
Laughable. You’ve obviously never worked in any kind of customer support role.
Most people are going to melt at the steps necessary to use adb.
capacity isn’t willpower.
By capacity I meant access to hardware. There are so many people in poorer countries out there that don’t have a laptop, permission to start using one for installing adb on it but also have an android phone.
welcome to an effective deterrent.
I don’t want an effective deterrent that effectively kills fdroid and the like. That’s the whole point. I’ve favoured android because it’s more open. The talking points in favour of it pale in comparison to the loss of freedom.
Honestly just jog on. Please.

It’s ambiguous. Fresh white bread could be considered both amazing or dull.
Did you feel like the date went well?
If it was meant as an insult then the guy is a cunt. Did he give off cunt vibes?
- Comment on Head of the Signal app threatens to withdraw from Europe 1 month ago:
developer verification can be disabled, bypassed, or worked with
In reality, this is useless given the technical capabilities (or access to the technology necessary) of nearly every android user. What percentage of them do you think has the capacity or capability to use ADB?
you called it sideloading removal, which it isn’t.
Strictly it ticks the box, however effectively it is sideloading removal. Arguing otherwise honestly makes me think you work for them. It’s such obvious marketing bullshit “Oh, we left this tiny window open to tick the box which people can use, but almost certainly not you and even if you are capable, it’s a pain in the arse”. There are 7 intelligent people in my house. I’m the only one capable of using ADB without enormous effort, making it a deliberately huge barrier and even I’m not going to do it to install a trusted open source app.
Let’s be clear; the only reason they left that little window open was to have people like you say “no, sideloading is still possible” to cover their arses legally and also for actual developers, not because they care about an open ecosystem.

Adb is functionally useless for most people.

I was 12 when that happened and even then I knew from quite far away that a great evil had left the world. He got what he deserved. Prick.

- Comment on What percentage of the world population ages 30+ do you suppose is capable of financially supporting themselves & living & thriving independently? 2 months ago:
It’s a good, thought provoking, question but “thriving” is subjective. One of my besties is not wealthy and doesn’t want to be but he’s living the life he wants and very happy doing it so I’d consider that thriving.

Welcome! Yeah I’m not sure how I came across it in the other place but it just brought a little joy to my life. I do love a good bench.
