Man’s leggiest tool.

That would be a useful thing to appear in the pamphlet or whatever, but I do still think there’s some value in saying “expected value of 5 minutes” somewhere prominent.

Because the whole point of quick charging is that (most of the time) you aren’t charging to 100% when you’re also in a time crunch. You’re either slowly charging to 100, or you’re quickly charging until you reach the limit of quick charging, and then driving to the next quick charger.

So what matters in practice is “how long until quick charge stops” and “how much range does that charge get me”

Oh, so L could be “lead”! Or similarly “live”

“Nevermind” or “Next” would be pretty good.

L could maybe be “Lagos” because there’s two cities named that and they’re pronounced differently?

Obviously for this case we need to add a signifier for the countdown so it’s clear to the other parties that you are aware of the standard and adhering to it before you even begin the countdown.

Like “ISO three two one GO!”

This is semi-backwards compatible, but still confusing for normies.

Even better, just make up new words where the ambiguity never existed. No numbers at all, just “glarp dook peow” and we always go on “peow” and always have. No backwards compatibility, but you’ll be guaranteed that a person who doesn’t understand will need clarification, and won’t go unexpectedly through imagined agreement.

Or, if backwards compatibility is required, we could count up from 1 to 3… and our signifier phrase could be something like “awnthree”. As a label for the standard we’re using! Like, “awnthree, one, two, three”.

I think that could work 😛

This is one of those ones that’s a tragedy. Biweekly “should” always mean every two weeks. Twice a week is “semi-weekly”, aka every half a week.

But regardless of what it “should” mean, people use it wrong often enough that you have to check every time, not because the word is ambiguous, but because people are often mistaken.

It’s a shame, but it’s part of human communication 😅

Whose SEC? The Wall Street Criminal’s? Huh. Strange that…

I was going to say “isn’t Motorola owned by Google though?”, but then I looked it up. They’re owned by Lenovo. But they were owned by Google! In 2014, which is 12 years ago and I’m going to go crumble to dust now…

Oh wow, for the hundredth time in a row? What are the odds!?

I’m pretty sure all the Linux filesystems I’ve ever used don’t care about tilde. You might have to escape it or quote it if you’re typing it into a shell, since the shell might try to replace it with your homedir, but I don’t think the FS cares.

On my ext4 FS I was able to touch me~ow just now with no issues.

I don’t know a lot about stuff, but is there a reason you’re backing up the files off the disks, rather than imaging the disks into an ISO or something? I’ve never owned a 360 disk, so maybe there’s some reason I don’t know.

“That’ll still count as a wish though”

Honestly, I’m not a big fan if Microsoft generally, but I found NFS to be surprisingly not great for non-permanent infrastructure, whereas SMB took a few minutes and works great, at least in my use cases. Maybe I’m just a loser, though.

I know you’re gatekeeping from Turd Mountain, but just for completeness, the reason I use Jellyfin besides the “pretty for my wife” reason is that it keeps track of her progress between clients. She sometimes watches things on her laptop, sometimes her phone, sometimes her tablet, and sometimes the TV, and no matter which one she uses it’ll remember which episode of her show is the next episode. It also highlights when a new episode of something has been added and cues her to watch the new episode that just came out.

But yeah, if I was alone and only had a pile of anime I’d already seen before, which I only watched from my Linux devices, Samba and VLC would do me fine 😛

violet08: Something something if they like stress, the rockclimbers should come climb me.

Thank you, thank you. I’ll be here until I’m not.

There’s an official doc about this: https://trapexit.github.io/mergerfs/latest/remote_filesystems/

Have you tried those things?

Yeah I mean, this is the benefit of the fragmentation. If you don’t want to update all the time, you just use a different distro. I know I do, I’ve run Linux for 21 years now and never once run Arch because I don’t want what it does, but we’re still on the same team, and the things they do benefit me nonetheless. There are drawbacks to the fragmentation, but this is one of the benefits.

I used glaxnimate quite a bit like 3 years ago for some videos I was making, and it was capable but rough in terms of UX. But it worked.

So good for them! And I hope it’s gotten better since then, because it certainly had the room 😛

What’s frustrating is that these are the costs of corruption. This, or that time they sabotaged the postal system in order to try and stifle mail-in voting. Taking a system that’s working, and making it not work any longer, doesn’t make things better for anyone. It’s just overhead! It’s paying to knock down a functioning building, leaving nothing in its place, and then paying every month to maintain a fence around the rubble.

No one benefits from this, except some people that shouldn’t be in power get to stay in power, so they can keep doing stuff like this to stay in power, and no other person sees any growth, improvement, or value. That would cut into margins.

Is it?
