Get Al Dente Pro and set your battery to 80% and do a full cycle once a month. It'll extend the life tremendously. https://apphousekitchen.com/aldente-overview/

MacOS does that natively. My battery rarely charges above 80% because I "almost never use it on battery so there's no need."

Yep, been there. It's baffling just how strange Gnome devs' priorities are, not to mention how they interact with the community. Rest of the DEs seem to be more "Okay, community said this, let's try this with x or y." Gnome is more "We know best, no we're not listening to you" from all the interactions I've had with gnome devs.

"Can you tell me a use case for this?" for a feature for example present in every other DE. I forgot what the exact context was or I'd pull up the ticket. Something to do with the sorting of files from the header of the sort display or some such.

Hah. Just yesterday Bambu studio did this shenanigan when the application crashed. 10 focus changes within a 1 second, repeat indefinitely.

It was infuriating. Had to reboot and it does it on every filament sync now.

Considering that this manufacturer of ersatz meat is unprofitable and bordering on insolvent, it seems that people do not, empirically, want to eat it.

>people do not, empirically

Words and phrases have meaning. That's not what empirical evidence means.

Because there's only single manufacturer of plant based products, right? and it's not as if meat isn't heavily subsidized by the government otherwise. Pfft.

And you know why plant based milk is shelved next to milk? SO PEOPLE CAN FIND IT. People don't want to go to another specialized aisle just to find products.

Your experience is not universal and just because you haven't seen anybody do it doesn't mean that people haven't. If anything it is your take that is reddit tier. Nobody forces you to buy that stuff, people who want to eat that stuff do. Have you tried being any less entitled?

I was hopeful that by titling his post “Are we the baddies?” that he would spend at least a little time reflecting on his role in all this. But he didn’t.

It's Hotz. Why would you waste time expecting that.

Or the fact that he volunteered to work for Twitter, which is the ultimate propaganda recommendation algorithm since Musk took over.

Worse! He volunteered, then went "Hey anyone want an internship? Fix twitter search, Make the code MIT, and then maybe I'll give you an internship."

...had 0 authority to give anyone an internship btw. Dudebro just wanted free fix.

I do. I use 2-ply and 3 squares at most. No issues here; sorry there's a tp tube up your ass about tp quality. Tip: don't "rub" it dry, that's bound to cause unpleasant friction.

>sorry there's a tp tube up your ass about tp quality

Hm, unsure why the hostility there. My quip wasn't nearly this hostile.

>I use 2-ply and 3 squares at most.

Yes, that's not bad quality TP lol, and not what I was talking about. You ever seen TP in universities/restrooms for supermarkets etc? That's what I am talking about. Further, you ignored the points about using toilet paper as tissue paper, which is what a lot of people in bathrooms also do.
