At least they put a date on it. Jeff bezos claimed he would donate 12 billion dollars or around that to climate change initiatives.

6 years later and I have kept track of it for the first 4-5 years. He had donate a whopping <3% of what he pledged. Of course he paid a lot more to pollute more than he saved with rockets.

Where is my deadeye drum mag?? 😂

Tons of stuff are not on fdroid due to requirements by fdroid, a longer process to push releases, etc…

It works for many apps, but there is IzzyOnDroid for much faster releases as well as dozens of fdroid repos for specific projects by default available on NeoStore.

I am not experienced enough to know the ins and outs of why fdroid is so difficult and slow for some devs, but it has been someone limited in apps at times because of it.

Really depends on what you consider grinding.

Pretty much all MMOs or PVEs have you grinding for gear (helldivers 2 I don’t feel is grindy in comparison, but some do)

Survival games like ark, valheim, etc… Have you grinding for bases and the next section of the game

Pretty much all PvP games (CS2, valorant, apex, starcraft, Rocket league, etc…) have you grinding out muscle memory skills

The antithesis to these are instance-based games where at max you grind aesthetic gimmicks, but in single player games they don’t have those like REPO where you always reset and fall guys where it is minigame based

The problem with these games is since you don’t have a “reward for work” (grinding), people get bored of them.

Polar Flow (finnish company, makers the best heart rare chest straps and decent fitness watches)

Fitotrack (local only, open source)

Open tracks (local only, open source)

That is about it as far as I know. The open source ones I don’t know if they are European specifically, but that are open source so it doesn’t matter as much.

Especially for jazz albums. Very difficult to find

There was an old fighter pilot game that I used to play on linux back in the day all the time in the early 2000s. I can’t remember the name but it was because my dad’s laptop was very cool to me and ran SUSE, so I played that, super tux, and a few free games because the alternative was a windows 95 machine with a 10 gig upgraded hard drive.

For grounding, no. The parts are all qualified and have many many many modern ESD and ground fault detection, prevention, and mitigations.

The biggest problem with airflow is making sure it doesn’t recirculate as much as possible.

Lego is actually one of the very few companies that isn’t batshit crazy over video game IP. (Real life Lego clones are probably different though).

They even gave a shout out to Manic Miners (a rock raiders fan remake) on the official podcast and haven’t done anything to take it down. I can’t remember if they officially said they won’t do anything also

Yes they do. Plaque buildup leads to gingivitis and cavities. It is in one’s best interest to reduce plaque not because it makes your teeth look good, but because it will help you not have receding gums when you are older which leads to exposed roots, root canals, tooth replacements, etc…

Here is a long term study

Both probing depth and clinical detachment loss of the teeth were improved with an electric toothbrush.

They have to be a bit more waterproof than a toothbrush though…

Finally a QT browser because the stupid Firefox (and forks) always have disappearing GTK buttons randomly.

Holy shit I never knew that.

I really thought it was one of my apps that I used that wasn’t Foss because it was so useful.

Now I want to use it more!

This is one of the pain points of fitness tracking. There is nothing that supports everything because companies try their best to lock everything down for their own subscription fees and data sale profits outside of the basics that you can go through their servers for.

Plus hyper-specific requirements per person make it difficult.

Honestly probably some app that grabs data from every service you use would be best.

Also good to note that that garmin’s “recovery time” is just a random thumb in the air educated guess specifically from hard workout to hard workout, not from workout to workout, and it is not a “rest period” but a period of “less than ‘intense’ workouts” and they have not allowed anyone to see their algorithm or do studies correlating its accuracy. That means it is not accurate.

Rip bismuth. It worked almost perfectly in plasma5 and with rewrites in plasma6 it broke and the dev didn’t want to rewrite it.

I wish distributers in the EU were better…

Mouser and digikey are fantastic.

Every single European distributor’s website is utter chaos garbage as far as finding new components that fit within criteria (and have bad filters). RS and TME just don’t have many more specialized ICs (ECG AFEs, sensor hubs, PPG chips, hell, the STM (european) selection of mems sensors at TME is just flat out bad bad), and Farnell doesn’t sell to individuals, and also has a much smaller stock. So instead of paying shipping once at a distributer, we have to pay shipping 3, 4, 5 times for the same parts.

This isn’t even going into trying to have an alternative for McMaster Carr, Misume is pretty bad in comparison as far as UX and selection.

But I am already thankful that we have the alternatives we do.

Lawn mower just got repaired. Time to do the same. I have been putting it off for a couple weeks and it is out of control

Conversely, I game only on a Linux machine and have received 3-5 surveys in the last year.

It may have a variety of factors, but it is not as simple as “they aren’t giving surveys to Linux users to deflate numbers” or something that some Linux users tend to theorize when they don’t get surveys for a while.

Meh, that is just changing one tech giant for another. Both spy on you completely. It is not like either will be better for the consumer.

Mealie is so underrated. They have meal planning, recipes, recipe parsing from the internet, grocery lists based on recipes and meal plans, like 4 different ways to organize recipes, and OIDC/SSO on top of it all!
