For lithium batteries (phone batteries) it’s actually more important than draining to 0. Many studies indicate that the average phone battery should last several thousand cycles while only losing 5-10% of total capacity provided it is never charged above 80%. Minimum % (even down to 0%) and charge rate below 70% is also unrestricted.

The tl;dr is that everytime you charge to 100% is the same as 50-100 charges to 80%. Draining a lithium chemistry battery to 0 isn’t an issue as long as you don’t leave it in a discharged state (immediately charging).

This was me in 2013…

To be clear, it is kinder. Not much, but it absolutely is kinder. Pasture raised is what free range should have meant… But fortunately we have a word for it now.

Generally yes with two huge caveats.

First, It has been widely demonstrated that diverse teams are more productive and produce higher quality products than homogeneous teams.

Second, selection criteria is heavily biased towards homogeneous teams and has also been demonstrated to stifle innovation.

Desire/inspiration is nearly as important as capability and non-optimal teams (according to most, if not all selection criteria) will consistently outperform “optimal” teams in any tasks that require innovation.

Have LTS kernels started backporting non security fixes like this? To be fair I haven’t looked at this in over a decade but this kind of patch wouldn’t have been backported then.

This is one of those comments that causes Arch to get the reputation that it does. You aren’t wrong and you probably don’t intend to be off-putting but here we are.

Red Hat and Debian both backport security fixes but don’t backport things like laptop device support. It can take a year or more for versions of those distros to gain the kind of functionality that is looking for.

This is an excellent answer. My eli5 addition is this:

It depends on your distro. Distros that do more hand holding and more compatibility without additional operator involvement will be more likely to backport or use a stable kernel with backports like these. Examples: Ubuntu/Fedora/Mint. Distros that focus on system stability will take much longer to integrate backports like these, ex: Debian. And masochists will tell you to do it yourself, ex: lfs, arch.

It depends on what you are trying to do… There are many tunnel / reverse proxy routing services like https://www.cloudflare.com/products/tunnel/

Here’s a list https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling

You can also get a super cheap vps, do some ssh reverse tunnel magic and go along with your day.

You couldn’t pay me to use this…

Neither. I picked an instance that is defederated from it. It wasn’t at first and it was mixed into everything.

You want me to figure your life out for you or is this a passive aggressive thing?

Two of the top ten largest instances… something like a good 10-20% of Lemmy users are full on fascists with a hard on for making other people’s lives miserable. You being ignorant of it doesn’t make it untrue.

1. it’s a form of victim blaming. Example:

“I went to India and I was sexually assaulted on a bus.” “THATS YOUR FAULT FOR NOT GOING TO THE ‘GOOD’ PARTS.”

No. Fuck you. India has a rampant sexual assault problem.

Lemmy has rampant problems. To ignore them and say it’s the visitors fault is such a fucking asshole position to take. If the first time you came to lemmy was when csam was being spammed and you were subjected to it… it 100% isn’t your fault. If you make a comment on something that interests you from All and you don’t see which community it is in and you get spammed with slurs and attacks for having a different opinion… it’s not your fault.

2. it’s toxic as fuck and super passive aggressive.

“You don’t know how to curate your experience. You aren’t very good at it. You must have issues.”

That’s what people are saying. They hide behind the bullshit example you gave “what’s wrong with selecting your interests.” No. Fuck you.

Hexbear and lemmygrad. Hexbear is one of the largest lemmy instances and it’s a pit.

Because it is? The term used to mean someone who is honest and upfront about things but toxic assholes co-opted the term as a way to excuse bad behavior.

It’s used infrequently enough that it’s not as obvious, but it’s a huge red flag for someone to say “I’m a straight shooter”.

It’s throughout many of the comments on this post.

They are demonstrating the reddit post first hand.

Step 1) be toxic and mock people for the choices they make.

Step 2) act superior

Step 3) passive aggressively victim blame

Straight shooters is a wiggle word to say asshole who doesn’t care about others feelings.

To the people who say they don’t run into jerks here or they don’t understand when people say it’s worse than reddit… what rose colored glasses are you wearing? Huge swaths of lemmy are little better than 4chan.

“Oh, you just have to curate your communities.”

Stop. Take your superior than thou attitude and just stop. You are part of the problem.
