And if it can run a 6 hours with 60% then I would like to preserve its ability to hold on for an entire day at 90% if the situation demands it. I often deal with this at school. A half day of back-to-back classes? 40% is game. But a schedule that has more than a 6 hour gap that I’d likely fill with studying from PDFs and gaming? Then a good 90% is needed.

But even having data for 2 years isnt very useful. If you replace your phone after 2 years then there is no need to care about battery life at all.

When I was younger my mother would scold me for needing a replacement phone every 2 or 3 years because of how much they cost. Aside from gaming I was also working on schoolwork or reading stuff on my phone because I had no computer, and I often charged my phone to 100% while doing those things causing it to overheat and charged it by 20% so that wasn’t doing wonders for its lifespan. Man if only I knew. So it grinds my gears when I see someone dismiss battery lifespan concerns by assuming you’ll want to buy a new phone in 2 years. My mother’s phone has been with her for upwards of 5 years and she’s perfectly content with it. And because I invest my time in only one game (the same one for years) there is no need for performance upgrades. So what’s the point of buying a new phone every two years?

What are the implications of this?

Video essays, Deltarune, Minecraft and Movie discussions and theories. And music to drown out my surroundings while I read a book because my mother watches TV with sensationalised drama all the time and my house is not big enough to escape from it

So glad I stopped supporting Youtube with ad revenue

When I read Don Quixote I saw a lot of references to “brain rot” and what was essentially pop culture at the rime ruining people’s perception of the world and I thought it was just funny to send in a quote that literally mentions brain rot

(n.) Supposed deterioration of a person’s mental or intellectual state, especially viewed as a result of overconsumption of material (now particularly online content) considered to be trivial or unchallenging. Also: something characterized as likely to lead to such deterioration.

“The devil take Don Quixote of La Mancha! How did you get this far without dying from all the beatings you’ve received? You’re a madman, and if you were a madman in private, behind the doors of your madness, it wouldn’t be so bad, but you have the attribute of turning everyone who deals with you or talks to you into madmen and fools, too; if you don’t believe me, just look at these gentlemen who are accompanying you. Return, fool, to your house, and look after your estate, your wife, and your children, and stop this nonsense that is rotting your brain and ruining your mind.”

Well I think I just realised why they do it. There’s this longstanding conspiracy theory that whenever a politician does a fuckup they conveniently say keywords associated with the fuckup but put it in a different context (like say, scandal related to trains, so they get into a model train hobby), and they pay advertisers to market that changed context HARD, so if people search up their name plus trains what shows up are articles talking about their new hobby.

Just thought of this because I was searching up “Banana Republic” in the context of neocolonialism (while reading my country’s history) and besides the Wikipedia page being the first result, the next results were that store. And I remembered this reply.

This reminds me a company that claimed to have automatized, I think it was their counters? But it was actually run remotely by workers in India

We wont have bananas that taste any good.

Cavendish bananas aren’t the only varieties of bananas that taste good. For example Lakatan and Latundan taste good raw. It’s just that most of the time they aren’t feasible for export.

One epidemic and we won’t have bananas anymore.

Only for a few countries ;) There’s still a lot of banana varieties eaten around the world.

Idk about Brazil but there’s a lot of banana varieties that are regularly consumed around the world. There’s Lakatan, Saba and Latundan in the Philippines for example, the Saba banana being really popular as a fried snack on a stick.

The silver lining is that it’s biodegradable. And good as compost

In Southeast Asia we have lots of banana varieties that we regularly eat.

Why this question?

Using thorn is pretty innocuous (even though it’s mostly used incorrectly), pretty sure I saw you or at least one of you. The fact people will downvote thoughtful responses just because the way it was delivered annoys them shows a lot about humanity. And especially when people hunt down your comments to downvote them, even when there’s no thorn at all. People tend to do more annoying stuff that is way more inconvenient than using thorn, and I’m talking about certain internet etiquette practices.

Why are EU lawmakers trying to ban E2EE?

Well good thing we have federation because I moved over to piefed (I was on lemmy.world and not on the .ml instance too). Though the move was influenced more on the features.

Those types of people who say those things are very self-centered. An anecdote but back when I had no boundaries, there was this “friend” who liked to misgender me, and had unsavory opinions on trans people in general including that one, and when I wasn’t able to interact with them for an extended period of time due to my high workload in school, they took it personally even though they also made no effort of contacting me. Talk about wanting to feel special.
