Is it moral to vandalize Teslas? in c/asklemmy
[–] bandwidthcrisis 1 points 3 days ago

States probably require liability insurance, but don't care if you can't pay for damage to your own vehicles.

No.

Can't they just decorate them with fridge magnets?

I have an exercise app that occasionally asks my overall mood, like "Have you recently felt overwhelmed?" Do you feel anxious a lot?"

I sent them feedback explaining that they never ask if there's a good reason that I might be feeling down: I've variously had reason to think I might lose my job, nearly lost sight in one eye, nearly evacuated from wildfires, etc. Yes, I've felt "anxious a lot"!

Yeah, he should have stuck to inventing steam engines, not identities.

The smart thing would have been to use his own name on all the IDs he made, turn it into an inadvertant "no, he's Spartacus" situation.

How do they know for sure that they got the right person?

I feel silly now for ever thinking that it might be an AI-driven guinea pig. No machine would have said that.

But is the software written by developers with access to the outside and daylight? Even if they prefer to shun it and choose blackout curtains.

Best phone sync (self.selfhosted)

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to try sticking with syncthing and try the fork of the UI and see if that keeps everything working.

I want to sync files between my linux PC and Android phones (mostly for Obsidian notes).

Can anyone recommend a good real-time sync?

I've been trying syncthing, but despite turning off battery optimization for the app, it rarely sees the phone as connected. I don't want to have to remember to check syncthing every time I edit a note.

I use resilio for syncing between PCs but it looks like it has a high battery usage on the phone, as if it is frequently polling for changes.

I use FolderSync for occasional scheduled syncs (e.g. updating my MP3s from the server to my phone), but a scheduled sync either is frequent enough to affect battery or it risks sync conflicts.

Cloud services such as OneDrive, Dropbox and Google Drive don't show up as big battery drains, so I assume that they use change notifications from the OS instead.

Are there any real-time 2-way sync apps for phone that don't have big battery drain and are not for cloud providers?

What does "fishcake" mean to you? (self.casualuk)
 

I grew up knowing a fishcake as being fish sandwiched between two slices of potato covered in batter.

But when I ventured out into the wider world beyond Sheffield, fishcakes were strange breaded minced-up fish things.

Was my whole childhood a lie?
