  • For perspective, that's like 6 years of full-time employment. I am equal parts impressed and horrified.

    At the very least, that game has cost you over USD 87,000 in those six years in terms of money not earned. (assuming 12,000 hours of minimum wage work).

  • If you're technically inclined, a simple bash script with a for loop could dump the time and discharge rate to a text file every minute. Then you could copy/paste that into LibreOffice calc and do yourself some pretty graphs, or whatever.

    edit: just found a tool called powerstat which looks like it does sampling over longer intervals.

    sudo apt install powerstat

  • Lenovo is renowned for their excellent linux compatibility. I'm sure you'll get a bunch of proponents here saying the same.

    BUT, oh boy. Don't get me started...

    Too late. Having used various models of thinkpads in recent years, their inconsistent keyboard layouts will drive you absolutely insane. I swear, at this point they're just fucking with us.

    I've got one in pieces somewhere, that has/had the ~ key next to the FN key on the bottom row! How the fuck are you supposed to use Linux if you're ~ key is down there? It's fucking stupid.

    Not to mention their keys have a tendency to break off with just the mildest of fist slams.

    AND the latest work-issued recent model is fucking with us again! It has the FN key ON THE LEFT SIDE of the Ctrl key on the left. Who does that? The Ctrl is always the left-most bottom key. Now, every time I fucking go to press Ctrl+something, I end up hitting FN instead.

    Fucking morons! At this rate this laptop will also end up in pieces.

    So, tldr; Stay the fuck away from Lenovo if you want to use Linux and not end up in prison for vehicular homicide.

  • Don't need API access to scrape data. That's the whole point of scraping - you're indistinguishable from regular traffic. Nitter could even impersonate a Google search crawler if they want.

  • Indeed, it seems I was wrong. However, I've just had a look at the "Gnome without systemd project" for Gentoo. The fact it is an entire project kinda supports my point.

    I mean, just have a look at that project and how much effort it takes to run Gnome without systemd. It would almost be easier to install LFS.

  • Yeah, I was having a whinge about it here the other day. Just a sec while I dig up the corpse...

    Systemd* removes choice*, and it was designed to do so. That is why there is so much anger. It is bad software design, by design. It flies in the face of the core linux principles, all in the name of homogenising the linux ecosystem, and you know exactly which big corporations benefit from that.

    The simple fact is: today, if I want to run a mainstream distro without Systemd, I cannot. Its cancerous tentacles run so deep that decoupling it from a mainstream distro, and keeping it decoupled, is a full time job.

    Instead I have no choice but to run a smaller, less featured, less secure and less funded alternative. Good luck getting Gnome to work without systemd.

    Full credit to Devuan, MxLinux, Artix, and the other united underdogs.

    Fuck you Redhat/IBM and your proxy evil-doer Lennart.

    But if you want to read more about how why others hate systemd, there's no shortage of material:
