What a weird situation. I suppose it’s nice those workarounds exist, even if they’re not ideal.

Interesting! I assume it involves a smart plug and an automation script that monitors battery level?

Wow, Graphene really doesn’t have charging limits?

I assume this is the discussion you referred to, and I think it broke my trust in the project.

Edit: As far as I can tell, many of the frustrating parts of that thread are from random posters and not devs. I’m still annoyed that such a basic feature is considered controversial.

Thanks for this! I’ve spent several dozen hours trying to get SteamVR working well on Linux, and finally gave up.

Is the Monado experience close enough to Windows to be usable? Are you aware of any major tradeoffs?

At this point I accept that Valve probably can’t compete with the billions poured into the Meta Quest 3, but I’m glad they understand there’s an enthusiastic audience for whatever they do next.

Looks way more capable than the PineTime, which is awesome. But there’s no way the blood pressure sensor is reliable, right?

What scanners do people recommend?

Game: Elden Ring

This year I decided to start biking to work and it’s been a complete joy. The commute is fairly long, but it’s beautiful and gives me time to reflect and turn my worry-brain off. I’m more productive at work, I feel better about my lifestyle, and my body is really happy about it. I’m lucky to be in a career and geography that allows this, and I’m grateful for all the work that people in my community have done to improve cycling infrastructure.

Thanks so much for doing this!

The homepage makes me think that it’s a translation tool similar to DeepL. Is that the part you’re recommending?

Yeah, it’s a Strawpoll issue, not an Eternity one. For some reason “VPN voting is not allowed”. I could definitely bounce around servers/protocols to find one that works, but I’m not in the mood.

Eternity has been perfect for my needs after Liftoff went on break. I can’t vote because of my VPN, though.

Edit: That is, I can’t vote on Strawpoll. Eternity works perfectly!

I wish I could remember which, but my friend and I used to love one of the DOS games. The stories fascinated us and we loved trying to break the game. For the memories alone, it’s still my favorite.

I agree that some people need harder tones, but I don’t think anyone needs the abusive language that Linus used. If that feels like the only option, I think it probably means the person has gaps in their social toolbox.

It’s worth pointing out that they’re now a publicly traded company.

I would buy a name card to place in front of it that says “Whimsical Porch Rock” because the name is vital to the experience.

Wow, you weren’t kidding! Makes me think it’s a sketchy add-on, even if it’s not.

Thanks for being perhaps the only comment here trying to be helpful to those who aren’t deeply familiar with the conflict.

I think an important emphasis here is that people shouldn’t accept explanations of the situation that make things easy to understand.

It’s pretty incredible that Don’t Look Up is on this list. I’m using this as my Friday inspiration that maybe science policy communication IS possible if we learn how to package it.

Do you find that the mobile Logseq app takes ages to open, or is my phone just too old? I really want to like Logseq, but it wasn’t snappy enough.

I can relate to this so I’ll just add that aligning my diet with my values was the best decision I’ve ever made. Being able to eat without feeling guilty/confused/complicated was life-changing. I didn’t do it all at once, or torture myself.

And we live at this amazing time when you can be lazy AND get amazing not-morally-horrible food! Typing this as I munch on an entire package of addictive store bought animal-free chocolate chip cookies :P
