No. It should be minimalistic by default. If you want to add a tail just grab one from the AUR.

By then, I don’t think that the use of earth’s orbital period around the sun would make sense as a unit of measurement. It is important to track the seasons if you’re living in an agricultural society. But the orbital period of the earth is not consistent across time, nor the time it takes for the earth to rotate. It doesn’t make a good unit of measurement. And don’t get me started on leap years, leap seconds, negative leap seconds, timezones and daylight saving times…

I’d prefer to base the new unit of time based on “Plank time”. About 10^44 of these are about one second. Now if we switch to the duodecimal system we can define 12^41 × Plank time to be our standard unit. It’s about a third of an earth second. 144 of these (12^43) equal roughly 3/4 of a minute. 144 of these (12^45) is about 1.8 hours. 12 of these (12^46) could be the equivalent of a day, 12 of that could be an equivalent of a week, and you can find an equivalent for a year. The duodecimal is unnecessary, but it makes division a bit neater. Now peak a date well before the beginning of human history to avoid the need for negative years (BC / AD) and that’s it.

That way you get a single number that you can manipulate arithmetically. Not like yyyy/mm/dd format where each part is a different length.

Every time you do anything more and more often it feels less special. That’s how things work.

Knowing that guy, he’ll use his elevated admin permissions to remove it like he edited other people’s comments.

Reddit still has better content. It’s not as good as it used to be before the shenanigans broke loose, but while Lemmy is getting better every day, it still has a long way to go.

Want to replace the battery on your 2 years old smartphone that is perfectly good, but the battery doesn’t last as long?

Just grab a heat gun and melt the glue around the screen. With a suction cup, pull the screen apart and pry around the perimeter to separate the screen. This might end up in your display cracking if you apply too much force. After the screen is successfully separated unscrew a large number of screws of all shapes and sizes and make sure not to mix them when you put them back together after you’re done. Carefully disconnect the tiny flat cable connectors. Then you need to separate the battery itself. It has two pull tabs that makes a satisfying noise when pulled, in order to release the glue. But especially if you’re not experienced these are likely to tear, leaving the battery attached. Don’t try to pull the battery away as it may result in damage to the battery and turn it to an instant spicy pillow or twist the frame of the phone making it wonky. You can use isopropyl alcohol to weaken the remaining glue in order to free the battery. After it’s removal, put the new battery in it’s place. Make sure all the alcohol had evaporated. Then put the phone back together pretty much as you took it apart. Make sure not to forget any screws or mix between them. Then glue the screen back together with a strip of glue. If you used to have water resistance it is now likely compromised.

That’s what it means to replace the battery in some phones. This shouldn’t be legal.

How hard it is to replace the backend while keeping the experience the same?

I used to lurk there out of habit of using my 3rd party app of choice. Now that it had shut down, I don’t think I’ll come back.

Almost as if it was a deliberate move. If I was given control of Reddit with the goal of running it to the ground as fast as I could, I’m not sure I could have done a better job than the current team running the site with the goal of making it profitable.
