Seems like a good use for android app pinning, I think that locks the phone to that app until unlocked

With systemd this would not be an issue , you just need to set up a timer for your service and some policy rules /s?

Spotify might as well be doing this themselves already to avoid having to pay all those annoying artist

Yeah like I said not the best science (maybe 99% of cats on vegan diet die the first day and the remaining 1% is slightly healthier).

But the point is that there is science

So are admins going to do literature reviews and have panels to discuss or just follow their own biases when deleting comments?

Do users need to publish a peer reviewed meta study before they are allowed to comment?

The science :

Considering these results overall, cats fed vegan diets tended to be healthier than cats fed meat-based diets. This trend was clear and consistent. These results largely concur with previous, similar studies. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0284132

Sure might not be the best science but still science

what’s iffy is smaller AC generators like wind mills

Not so iffy for bigger wind turbines, these also have significant inertia due to the mass of the rotor spinning (with large mass moment) and grid codes demand active grid stabilisation in most countries.

The harm is in the realisms , this matter when AI generated parn is shared with others.

Use ddrescue to copy to a working disk, if I remember it will try a number of times and eventually skip the broken sectors so that at least you have a working filesystem on the copy.

At some, long ago, the Ubuntu installer was offering to use zfs for the boot and root partitions. That sounded like a good idea and worked great for a long time, automatic snapshots, options to restore state at boot etc.

Until my generous boot partition started to run out if space with all the snapshots (which were setup automatically and no obvious way to configure) OK no big deal, write a bash script that finds the old snapshots and delete them manually whenever boot is full again.

Then one day recently my laptop wouldn’t boot anymore, Grub could no longer read the zfs on boot. Managed to boot with USB installation image, read zsf and chroot. Tried alot of things but in the end killed zfs and replace with ext4. Then made it boot again.

Apparently I’m not the only one with this issue.

My Kia also has a normal 12v battery for normal car stuff in addition to the main battery pack. But it uses the main battery to charge the 12v if that ever gets low while parked

There is no outrage, they supposedly lost 0.5% of the users which means they lost only this one person who us making all this noise.
