bmicraft··on EU mandates replaceable batteries by 2027 (2023)
The Galaxy S5 was only 8.1mm including camera bump, removable battery and IP67 rating.
bmicraft··on Why does aluminum foil have one shiny side and one with a matte finish?
Is it? I can see the broiler glowing, so at least a decent chunk is close to visible light.
bmicraft··on Australian author's erotic novel is child sex abuse material, judge finds
I think that's the most, if not only relevant part to base your decision on
bmicraft··on FBI couldn't get into WaPo reporter's iPhone because Lockdown Mode enabled
There was a story here the other day, bitlocker keys stored in your Microsoft account will be handed over.

bmicraft··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
> Personally I would not create "EU-INC" but just make all local entities legal in every country. Then countries could compete to be the best system to attract companies and entrepreneurs.

Like the current downward spiral of US states competing who can have the lowest corporate tax while letting their infrastructure crumble? But hey, that's a long term thing and we don't think about those. Only which companies move to my state in the next year/quarter/month.

Truly spoken like someone who's never been out of their region.
bmicraft··on Exercise can be nearly as effective as therapy for depression
5k is not a distance. 5km, 5 thousand feet or yards are. I've never heard of this weird and unnecessary "abbreviation"
bmicraft··on Linux Runs on Raspberry Pi RP2350's Hazard3 RISC-V Cores (2024)
For all intents and purposes, the fist raspberry pi is pretty much that, except maybe the tailored OS. Although I'm not sure what would even fit between a fully featured rtos and a trimmed down linux.

This reads like an ad. Why would you capitalize it like a product name and then even link to the website?

I still have no idea what it really is. From the name I'd think you're going for a run at a local park. The website calls it a "5k and 2k community event", what that's supposed to mean I have no clue. It insists you either "join" or "volunteer", all while being as non-specific as possible why I should even care

2/5k what? people? distance? currency? number of events? It almost reads like in-group speak of a cult I don't partake in.

Airplane mode often leaves bluetooth on, with all the tracking that enables.

While we're at it, mph and the abomination that is "kph" (= km/h) even more so need to die in a fire.
bmicraft··on James Moylan, engineer behind arrow signaling which side to refuel a car, dies
There is usually still a concept of front. Most desktops if laid down would be laying on their right side (so the motherboard & cpu aren't upside down). From there you can still pretty easily tell how the port is oriented without looking.

The side with the holes. That's true for 95% of devices, with one of the few major exceptions being cheap chinese powerbanks
bmicraft··on Loss32: Let's Build a Win32/Linux
To be fair, you can have sound issues on windows too. It's not usually on issue on linux anymore either though.
bmicraft··on Always bet on text (2014)
I think the bicycle argument doesn't work; you don't learn to ride a bicycle, you train to do it. Knowing how to do it isn't good enough, your conscious brain isn't fast enough to calculate and achieve balance. You need to train your reflexes to keep the balance for you.
bmicraft··on Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental
Well, GCC 15 already ended support for the nios2 soft-core. The successor to it is Nios V which runs RISC-V. If users want us update the kernel, they'll also need to update their FPGA.

Microblaze also is a soft-core, based on RISC-V, presumably it could support actual RISC-V if anyone cared.

All others haven't received new hardware within the last 10 years, everybody using these will already be running an LTS kernel on there.

It looks like there really are no reasons not to require rust for new versions of the kernel from now on then!

It might be if the original answer wasn't that ignorant of the question's origin.

What are you implying? I ask because you aren't actually saying anything yourself.

bmicraft··on NYC congestion pricing cuts air pollution by a fifth in six months
If you're only paying for a couple of those yards, does it matter if the others are literally free or if you distribute that payment to all of them while paying a couple percent each?

It's a distinction without a difference.

Most cities weren't bombed, and no all that were got rebuilt only for cars.

They can't (fire safety requirements make all tunnels expensive)
bmicraft··on Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental
"Unsafe" rust still upholds more guarantees than C code. The rust compiler still enforces the borrow checker (including aliasing rules) and type system.

Removing Java from my desktop Arch system only prompts to remove two gui apps I barely use. I could do it right now and not notice for months.

I really do wonder who (as in "which packages") still depends on perl. Surely it can't be that many?

Edit:

On my (Arch) system removing perl requires removing: auto{conf,make}, git, llvm, glibmm, among others.

Which ones would that be?

That's exactly the original question.
