Idk man and i dont care. He probably couldve chosen to be a greedy asshole and sell to some big tech company for 100M but instead he took enough to buy a house and live in peace.

For this guy to be paid for all his previous work for which he was supposedly very much underpaid just like almost every open source dev out there. For relinquishing control of the project to a new non-profit he can have 10 million for all i care. From the original announcement:

For our team, a vital aspect of getting this restructuring right was making sure that Eugen was compensated fairly for Mastodon’s brand trademark, assets, and the 10 years he spent building Mastodon into what it is today (while taking less than a fair market salary). Based on replacement costs, Eugen’s time and effort, and the fair market value of the Mastodon brand, its associated properties, and the social network, we settled on a one-time compensation of EUR 1M. We are deeply grateful for his past contributions, and look forward to his contributions still to come.

Some phones do still work without, but i think most dont.

some devices will bypass the battery when permanently plugged in. I have an old phone i use as a syncthing node and i log the battery current on it. It never actually gets used by the phone, it only suffers from some very slight internal discharge.

has me reconsidering my use of syncthing

This is about a third party piece of software that isnt directly related to syncthing. The devs of syncthing have however been recommending syncthing-fork as their choice for android, so it definitely needs clearing up.

It doesnt really feel “slow” to me but just buggy and like its trying to do too many things at once.

EVGA doesnt exist anymore sadly. Wish they would come back and make an AMD card.

Thats just 14h tho, not too bad.

Yeah me neither. I buy it in glass bottles, but considering the fact that canadians have milk bags i dont doubt that this exists too.

Ah i see. With full fat non homogenized milk you always have a big chunk of separated out pure fat/cream sitting on top, but i guess that not it in this case? If in doubt just taste test it, a few droplets of spoiled milk wont harm you.

What exactly am i supposed to see here? Just looks like normal milk to me?

This sounds like an effective plan to me. With enough numbers it will work eventually.

I see. I havent had a Google account for like 8 years, so i didnt notice the difference.

This isnt new. Its been happening for years. There is a post about this on lemmy every few weeks. It just doesnt happen consistently, so people always think that they “discovered” this for the first time.

They have a page about that: https://watchy.sqfmi.com/docs/battery-life

With only time keeping, Watchy should have a battery life of 5-7 days, while with fetching data over WiFi, it should last between 2-3 days. These numbers can be extended through further optimizations (e.g. sleep during off hours, waking up only on motion/tilt, etc.).

By default it wakes up the CPU and updates the display every 60 seconds, but you could totally change this to make it only update on demand (the most efficient would be by button press) which should extend the battery life waaay beyond 7 days.

I havent used it yet, so cant really say much, but ive been looking at watchy. https://watchy.sqfmi.com/

ESP32 based with a epaper display

This is great.

If just this one OS, that i havent even really heard of, hit 100k downloads in two days, then there must have been like 100M downloads in the last week or so for all linux distros combined. Now i wanna see someone try to aggregate all download numbers from the major distros into a time plot to see if there is a noticeable change.

Japan keeps flip flopping on Palestine recognition, or am i mixing something up here?

I mean its not that deep is it? It just become more and more manual the further you go back until you hit the first calculators that were programmed with punch cards. Eventually cards were replaced with other types of storage and keyboards as inputs. Which allowed for human readable inputs that could then be interpreted.
