  • You don’t do major changes regularly/every night, updates can be automated/performed on the weekends. Or you can do them during the normal working hours but also inform the users about the maintenance work by mail/push notifications. At work we use a service that provides notifications with times and dates about any possible downtimes.

    I guess I should’ve made a more narrow remark and add that only unnecessary night labor must be banned - I used to work on a production that required intensive manual labor with 8AM-8PM and 8PM-8AM shifts and the only reason for the 8PM-8AM shifts was to make production more efficient by sacrificing the workers’ health, although I know some people who love working at night and don’t care that they look 74 in their 50’s.





  • Yes BB seems to be the closest option but in order to unlock it’s bootloader you also need to authorize on some manufacturer’s site which is (to my understanding) a concern in the “consumer’s right to repair” way - if I can’t upgrade a system after its support ends the phone becomes e-waste, and giving your phone number, name, email address to the Chinese government is at least questionable from privacy standpoint. I could be exaggerating though


  • Exectly my thoughts recently! My smartphone is starting to show some problems with its screen and it’s a Xiaomi device which makes it very hard/unpleasant to get root access to reinstall the OS (you have to download a windows app and use it to share your data and reasons for voiding your contract by asking to get root access) so I thought maybe there are non-touchscreen smartphones and when I tried looking for one I only got dumb phone suggestions and I realized that such a phone would have to have a specific version of Android that is not designed around touchscreen technology. I’m not sure what I want, but the options seem to be polar extremes without a middle ground option, something between a smartphone and a dumbphone that will be helpful in detoxifying from doom scrolling and yet still usable for productive activities.

    I really hope that in the near future we’ll see some change in the direction towards smartphones that are not made only for watching videos, playing games, but to some combinations of useful ideas from both dumb and smartphones, like having a decent screen to be able to use maps and with also a “mechanical” keyboard or smth. But then again physical keys will have problems like if they would be made from cheap plastic, there always will be downsides…


  • 21 Century Fox studios who had the rights for the Alien franchise have been obtained by Didney like 5 years ago or something so that is a reference to Alen Ripley character who is now one of the didney princesses, and the alien queen from the second movie os ofcourse the didney queen💖

    Edit: I have a very smol brain and didn’t read the part about pants crapping befor leaving a comment so yeah just some adjacent trivia then, the character on the picture kinda still looks like Ripley

    pedantic/pə-dăn′tĭk/

    adjective

    1. Characterized by a narrow, often ostentatious concern for academic knowledge and formal rules.

      “a pedantic attention to details.”

    You are very much correct in the fact that angles by definition are only present between straight lines. A secant line that is in the same plane as the circle and is crossing the centre of the circle is called it’s normal and a normal is by definition perpendicular. The meme was fun
