This appears to be the calculator: https://www.websitecarbon.com/

And it only appears to check the size of downloaded assets and then whether the hosting provider is known to use renewables. Indeed not terribly exhaustive or useful.

Have you looked at Xiaomi’s own offerings?—they do have “compact” power banks. Not sure if those are compact enough for you though.

I am not sure I would necessarily call them a “good company” either.

If we’re being honest, the phone project was a delusion from the start—the company is simply way too small to build a phone from components that were never meant to be in phones and have it actually work properly. At this point, can you finally even use the phone to call people via 2G/4G? Have they gotten beyond the sub-24h standby battery life? Have they got the bandwidth to handle the security reviews of the kill switches in their phones?

In the plus side, I appreciate that they invested in implementing adaptive layouts in Gnome. But the Linux space is littered with unsuccessful startups who all left their pawprints in code. Usually then allowing Red Hat and other big players (or, in the desktop space: a community) to build upon that code.

Yeah … My cursory knowledge about Purism says that’s a very risky investment.

Yes. If you copy /home to a completely different drive, do make sure to be intentional about access rights (i.e. in your new install, you want your files to belong to you again and you want scripts to still be executable; sorting this out after the fact is possible but can be time-consuming) and make sure to copy hidden files/directories (i.e. .dotfiles, which is where user preferences for your apps are stored; if you want e.g. your Firefox bookmarks and tabs to remain with you, keep these files).

Upgrades/downgrades can always cause issues, but more often than not you’re totally fine, especially during upgrades. I tend to declutter my home a little too. E.g. I keep the configurations for Firefox and Thunderbird but delete their cache, for Inkscape I may keep my custom palettes only. For a lot of Gnome tools, I just delete all the configuration, especially for stuff that I only use once a month. However, the major issue during that process for me is that accidents happen occasionally.

i can imagine this would speed up distrohopping by 10x

I am confusion. It seems like this wouldn’t help much with distro-hopping at all. At least not the way I learned to reinstall OSes, i.e. keep /home and make sure to back up important config files you edited.

On an unforgettable hospital visit?

I think that’s coming (or is it implemented already!?)?

Let’s be needlessly toxic 🚀🤩

In any case, welcome to my block list.

Your server has updated to Lemmy 0.19.0. Voyager is not yet compatible with that version of Lemmy.

The Eternity client (0.1.2) works better for the moment, but is not flawless either.

Is there a way to remove yourself from this?

Sure: There is a third box “no confession” next to “Catholic” and “Protestant” on the form. You can check that and those 9% remain with the state instead.

German secularism has a few more peculiarities. Many charitable organizations e.g. running hospitals or institutions caring for the homeless, elderly, and disabled are in fact religious (Diakonie, Johanniter, Caritas, Stadtmission, …). This has some unfortunate effects: They often hire people of Christian faith only, meaning atheists or adherents of other religions are mostly excluded at these organizations. There have also been cases of a doctor at a Christian-run hospital denying the abortion because of their faith – despite abortion being legal here. However, much of the money these organizations receive is in fact public money, supposedly spent on serving the public. Another wrinkle is that Religious Law is used when it comes to e.g. prosecuting rape cases involving priests etc. Somehow, this separate system of law that doesn’t really seem to work particularly well is accepted by the German state.

Could be worse, I guess. I live in a “secular” democracy that essentially collects members fees for the Catholic and Lutheran churches (and only those two!) via the federal income tax.

In a sense, I guess op is right though — I recently read that ~70% of people in a study were brushing ineffectively, no matter how long they were told to brush. Their brushing only improved after being told to make sure to brush every every “sector” of their teeth.

It ships a file called snark.py which is apparently used to name colors. Examples:

(0, 85, 85, ‘liquid Nyquil’),

(85, 170, 170, ‘smurf blood’),

(255, 170, 170, ‘“nude” tights that only match Becky's skin’),

And here I am avoiding even special characters because I worry about having to enter them on a French keyboard at some point.

Do be aware that a single emoji is often composed of multiple Unicode characters (e.g. base emoji + gender modifier + skin tone modifier). Entering that on the command line is going to be fun.
