Just because it’s not popular in your social bubble in Europe doesn’t mean it’s not important. I’m European, and I found it very useful during e.g. COVID or the start of the European invasion. (Ukraine*)

Of course there were problems with fake accounts back then, but it was still the best platform for curated expert feeds if you followed the right people.

It’s not the same anymore, many of the experts have left and especially the feeds don’t have the replies of other verified e.g. scientists. Similar to Reddit, but probably even worse/more noticeable.

My go-to these days is to push the current branch, dynamically.
git push origin HEAD

Depending on the VC, HEAD has different prefix/suffixes to make it work.

Edit: formatting, also I never checkout master I do origin/master so I cannot even push it with this method. I think

I don’t think the stickers void warranty in Europe, they have to prove that the water damage caused that exact failure. So water resistance is actually nice in that sense, because it also means their product probably failed.

But to respond to the first part, it’s just planned obsolescence. Why design something that needs to be fixable, if you can, well, just not do that. You don’t have to design or test opening the case, how it feels to put the battery in. How durable the closing and opening is.

So many problems are just gone, like “does the back get loose and fall off if you open it too often?”

People underestimate how much cheaper it is to not have to worry about user operations and error, you cut out any need for usablitiy testing and design. They are just being cheap and trying to sell it as “cool design”.

I was going to ask if the appointments are based on the elected government/party for further elaboration, but thought that would be lazy so did a bit of research.

So yeah, she’s Marina Silva. Lula’s cabinet’s minister of environment and climate change.

Especially frustrating when Samsung already built phones with replaceable batteries AND water resistance. (The IP rating was lower though)

I hope there is a high rating limit, so they can’t just add “survises a droplet” as reason to not have a replaceable battery.

You can also hide the clicked (parent) comment too. I don’t personally use it, to keep an overview, but it allows going through comments with much less scrolling.

12 years. The amount of knowledge and experience shared in a conversational style was invaluable, but I cannot keep using a service that is hostile to users like me/us.
