I assume you’re talking about Slow Watches? I actually have one and while I love the simplicity of it, it turns out the minute hand is actually the more useful hand. Trying to figure out if you have 10 or 20 minutes until your next appointment on a Slow Watch is extremely painful, so much so that I only wear it if I don’t think I’ll need to know the time behind if it’s “roughly between 1 and 2 pm”.

Podman v6.0.0 20 days ago

After Docker Desktop randomly started consuming insane amounts of memory again we switched to Podman and it was literally as easy as installing it and pointing it at our docker-compose.yml.

Zero changes needed and now I don’t need to keep a daemon running.

Great software.

Windows Lite is a stripped down version of Windows. No telemetry, no spying, no ads, no AI, no .NET, nothing. Windows Lite is just win32 with a lightweight shell and graphics drivers.

So, basically Linux with Wine/Proton?

Isn’t this basically what SteamOS does?

Or Fedora.

I feel like Fedora has the same pragmatic approach (allows non-free drivers, packages, etc.) and is just as easy to use.

This

Rebase only makes sense if you making huge PRs where you need to break it down into smaller commits to have them make sense.

If you keep your PRs small, squashing it works well enough, and is far less work and more consistent in teams.

Expecting your team to carefully group their commits and have good commit messages for each is a lot of unnecessary extra work.

You could still support a subset of the most common features like bold, italic, strike, bullets, links, etc.

Isn’t the beauty of MD supposed to be that if you can’t render it it should still look fine as plaintext?

I have a Framework 13 running an AMD AI 300 Series with Fedora as my personal laptop and an MBP M2 Pro as my work machine.

I would say that the Framework is fine for battery life when you’re using it but loses like 20-30% of battery per day in sleep mode vs like 1% per day for the MBP.

The workaround I use now is to set the FW to hibernate after 30 minutes of sleep so it’s not dead when I decide to use it again after a few days.

The downside of this is that waking up takes a couple of minutes and so I still tend to use the MBP if I need to do something quick and don’t want to wait for the hibernate tax.

I really wanted to switch to the Proton stack and even tried it for a couple weeks but the search in Proton Mail is so bad I couldn’t use it for even simple things like finding my airline tickets. I had to switch back to Google Workspace.

It doesn’t seem like Proton even really cares about the how bad their mail search is and is more focused on releasing new products.

I would love to feel sorry, but seems you’re technically capable of preventing this (unlike most people), just chose “convenience.”

Well, this is the downside of “convenience.”

If you manage to recover your belongings, I hope you stop preaching around how living in a normal apartment in society is good and everyone should accept the risk of home invasion instead of living in an underground bunker with biometric access controls and armed security.

Crypto doesn't solve any of the actual problems here.

These kids can't access any services because they don't legally exist in government systems. No birth certificate means no school enrollment, no healthcare, no social grants.

You think a 15-year-old footballer who can't play in tournaments because he has no birth certificate is going to be helped by Bitcoin?

What school is letting them enroll because they have a hardware wallet?

This is a civil administration problem that needs government solutions: streamlined processes, digital systems, reduced fees, and political will.

The US mines many elements domestically, so why the sudden environmental concern specifically with rare earths?

Is there evidence that China’s rare earth mining creates more environmental damage than US coal, gold, or other domestic mining operations?

The real issue seems to be strategic: China made rare earth supply security a policy priority, while the US relied on market forces to handle supply chains.
