corsicanguppy, to games in Handheld consoles required to have replaceable batteries by 2027 - Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck

What part of the legislation requires small batteries like AAs?

If the unit has a LIon battery, make it slide out like UPS batteries do. Make it a custom shape if you hate people, or make it a common hi-density cell if you aren’t apple.

corsicanguppy, to linux in What are the main challenges in Linux adoption for New users, and how can it be addressed?

Systemd

Fridge art. Fuck, they MAYBE have nfsroot working. MAYBE. After a decade of fucking around, when it was available for ages. The number of bags on the side of lennart’s piece of crap, just to reinvent the wheels we had before, is absolutely ridiculous.

and Flatpaks

… break single source of truth for as-built information and current software manifest. This kills validation, which dissolves certainty on consistency, then repeatability. And given the state of the software load exported to management tools is NOT the flatpak source of truth, you now have a false negative on the ‘installation’ of a flatpak resource when checking it via management.

Oh. That needs to be on the interview questions.

corsicanguppy, to linux in What are the main challenges in Linux adoption for New users, and how can it be addressed?

if a new user is using a distro that doesn’t use systemd they fell for a meme

Or they hate fridge art like systemd and are on something like PCLinuxOS or Alpine.

corsicanguppy, to main in If I wanted to experiment with some utility bots...

There’s no way to say “don’t show c/test on the frontpage” yet

Can we define c/test so that it’s automatically blocked by anyone not subscribed? Like, is there a way for a new user to join the system and receive a default profile of subscribed/blocked subs, and include c/test in that default blocked list?

it’s so hard to actually compost [and] very little[ ]of it will ever be.

I’m not seeing the difficulty angle on the composting, but I’m learning the labeling on them is both confusing and not-really-regulated (that I’ve yet seen); and not really validated either way, it seems. Bloody big tip-off that it’s shite greenwashing. Argh.

If 90% of the carbon in the test materials had disappeared within six months it was considered compostable.

The results showed there was no specification that was reliably home compostable

bah. Zero fun.

So to make terms like ‘biodegradable’ or ‘compostable’ even remotely valuable as terms for packaging, we need inspectors and testers confirming them. Having gone through a series of halfwit governments run by ‘small government’ platforms (the ‘small’ is when they shed oversight and safety inspectors, naturally, so their lobbyists can further victimize people for profit), I think we’re a long way off.

I’m learning, and I’m correcting my opinions as we go. Thanks for catalyzing that.

it’s not like they [break down] remotely fast

Okay, I’m hitting the (qualified) opinion pieces and I’m seeing the issues like the microplastic intermediate stage and the low ‘success’ rate of plastic breaking down after a 6 month period (which I’m assuming isn’t arbitrary).

You’ve forced me to learn, dammit. Thanks (Thanks; I hate it?)

I am sorry. The right answer here isn’t the charitable one.

Yeah. Do what you need as long as it doesn’t impact other humans without consent.

  1. Thank you for the archive.is link
  2. When I was in the army, this is kinda what we knew to expect our peacetime lives to be: sandbags, rakes and shovels, coordinating and assisting log-Os with moving people out and/supplies into a zone.

Because when we don’t need to be armed, we’re still a coordinated labour force trained to mobilize quickly .

compostable or biodegradable plastics will no longer be allowed to be sold

This is needed both in the short and long term

If you hate biodegradable and compostable things, you’re the baddie. The math seems solid.

The circle of life is harsh. We don’t get to play God.

I choose Right over Good. Sorry everyone.
