I am taken aback by the amount of devices you two people seem to have, honestly.

For me I just... use them. And I have a tendency to not forget such things. The unused ones will lose their charge over time, indeed.

My phone I use. My old phone, that I use as GPS, I have to remember to charge before I need it.

My laptop I use all day, my previous laptop has no battery anymore.

My iPad Mini has got the short stick some times, to be honest, because it is mainly a secondary device. I have it always with me, but I rarely use it outside the house. And in the house it's not the top device, either.

The Steam Deck I use throughout the week, so I see its charge. But now I used it again the day before yesterday after half a year, or something. It happens, no need to have it charged in the meantime, frankly. Same for my controller. The little Anbernic handheld faces a similar fate.

Wireless keyboards I do not possess currently, and the one wireless mouse I have takes an AA battery, and is Logitech, 2-year battery, no worries.

Ever-swift-moving and -reacting.

Stop posting Financial Times links, you can only read the title...

Yet they get big American companies to pay for this.

something, something, clown world

I updated my iPhone 15 Pro yesterday. The only performance issue I noticed is when making a new wallpaper, with the "Dynamic iOS 26" wallpaper. It was lagging like crazy, it even froze at some point, and the phone got very hot. I have a feeling it hit the battery like a truck, too, but we'll see in time if it was just one incident or what. Running full animations and graphics, and glass icons, no performance issues.

Just managed to click update on my iPad Mini 6th gen, we'll see how that goes. The M1 Air will have to wait some more.

Apple generally has issues with multiple languages. (See Siri <=> phone language)

Because my phone is in a different language than the names of my contacts, I get no sorting at all.

No other gripes I can think of, but I do not use it that much.

Being owned by Microsoft, it is a fair thing to ask.

I saw this article the other day, Bluetooth and step tracking is already a thing, at least to some G-Shock watches, much to my surprise.

I don't know, I had my M1 Air reboot once because I had the wild idea to close the lid while it was charging. Usually only one of the two is happening. But a friend that has been around MacBooks for longer told me they do it. Hence my comment.

Last commit added this to the README.

Someone share this with Apple, they have the same bug.

What am I missing? Being able to put the tab bar anywhere around the window has been a thing since forever. You can also put the address and bookmarks bar on the top or bottom.

Roblox finally got in the line, maybe Discord will, too, at some point...

From a normal browser (don't ask me what I mean by that), with its normal/default user agent, Google search does not work without Javascript. I think at all, any more, but at some point I had got rate limited of sorts, after using the search without Javascript for a little, I got a prompt to enable it.

Indeed, if they weren't using non-European infrastructure.

Microsoft only forces things, it's not a surprise at this point.

I have not been keeping up, but limitations could be attributed to Wayland. I have the impression they dropped many things, some of it not quite baggage, to make a quick move over.

Most sensible American.

Lol. Also it's called brain drain.

You either do not use public transit, or do not have beggars or street music players entering your trains. If the music player is ok, it is ok. The only time I have enjoyed it though is when he was playing a piece I knew.

Last time I bothered with news from Pine was with that Manjaro and bootloader drama. I am not even sure what came out of that...

But the other issue is I just found out from this post that PineBook Pro has been discontinued. But it is well listed in their devices, a shop exists just fine, with a price tag, it is just out of stock. Forever, apparently. I thought they were just being stingy with their production sizes, or they just didn't have enough traffic to make more.

Oh well, you can install postmarketOS on Chromebooks with ARM processors, and "normal" Linux is going well on other ARM devices, too. You can also find RISC-V laptops on Alibaba.

Is it "just" that, or is it Elsevier's, Wiley's, and friends' doing? As I had commented the other day on a same/similar post, One Nation One Subscription was signed with Wiley this February, maybe other publishers have done something similar.

Subscriber-only link!

Hasn't Microsoft hired a few of the top Python development guys?

A few months ago, this[0] was signed between John Wiley and Sons and the Indian government. Wiley also includes the current leader in digital academic publishing. Every other big academic site is under Wiley, if a bit indirectly. Now, this article does not name Wiley, although I went over it very... diagonally, but I'd bet money Wiley is in there, too.

Also Wiley was against (sorry, I don't know the legal jargon) Internet Archive for the book renting stuff, and Z-library, maybe... Repeated offender, flying very close to a monopoly, I'd say, but there are other more obvious and problematic monopolies that are still not being dealt with, out there...

What in tarnation are you doing online that you cannot work without Google? This is a super Gen Z post.

Holy madness!

I was Emacs, got tired of some stupid things, Vim or other things now. Every other thing has some Vim mode thingy anyway... (Which I always used, regardless.)

Same stupid reasons make me pretty much drop Linux. I have it on Steam Deck, but that's all. MacBook, and Haiku for cool stuff. (Or for worky stuff, because I hate MacOS.)

My saved posts are like 50% dead. Deleted posts, deleted accounts, deleted/overwritten comments, dead links on GFYcat and Imgur, banned subreddits... And imagine I was rather late in joining Reddit.

Intriguing, for sure, but the human-curated part is actually a pass for me. A curated list is nice, but true randomness is priceless. Sad to miss those horrors.
