But don't you have to first wait minutes, then hours, then days etc. before you finally get to 10 years? That's some dedixated toddler

Nothing prevents you drom installing a linux os on an android phone, provided someone made a rom for your device. It's just not very useable due to proprietary drivers. Ubuntu touch exists for example, but on most phones you can't even use the cellular antenna iirc

Tldr: It's just better compression

Based on the videos I've seen, I don't think it's just batteries. Li-ion batteries don't really explode, they burst into a lot of flames and stay burning for a while.

That's basically how I eat spaghetti, except I use my teeth once the fork is in my mouth.

Yeah, all this behaviour leads to is more annoyances for the people who do know what they're doing. People should really learn how the devices they use every day work, which includes stuff like the command prompt. Not necessarily how to use it, but at least what it is and what it can do.

You can turn those info cards, ads, and some other stuff off in the settings fyi

Afaik that only applies if the app is processing payments, which in this case it shouldnt be.

I think we're looking up at a drinks dispenser, one where you push your cup against the metal thing to start filling.

True, but that just means no more contactless. They don't entirely block you out of the app afaik, like many other foreign banks I've seen do.

McDonald's was just an example, the point is most apps don't need to do that at all.

I do happen to know how payment systems like that work, and thankfully those are all cloud-based, the only thing the app does is start transactions and check with the server if they're paid. If they implemented it well, as I suspect a big corpo like McDonald's probably would, their own order screen also checks server-side if orders are paid. Not much you can do from the app side to mess with that.

I'm really bad at keeping my dependencies up-to-date manually, so dependabot was great for me. I don't use github anymore though, and I haven't really been able to find a good alternative.

I found Snyk, which seems to do that, but they only allow logging in with 3rd party providers which I'm not a big fan of.

Edit: seems like Snyk also only supports a few git hosts, and Codeberg isn't one of them.

 

The past few days I've noticed occasionally dbzer0 loads extremely slowly, or even hits a gateway timeout.

Is it just me or is the instance having some trouble keeping up?

Seems like it's only the front-end that has trouble loading, as I could still navigate next pages just fine while a different tab was busy timing out on load.

Also another thing I noticed is sometimes while it's still loading, the title of the page will be about a different post altogether. Not sure if that's related, sounds like just a caching issue to me.
