@lain given the tax rates, people in Finland only work for themselves just under 18 hours per week (assuming 40hr workweek). So with zero taxation, it's more than feasible. -

@phnt @mischievoustomato unironically, it seems that most devs today have no idea how to design a plugin system -

@wststreet try resetting the battery gauge. Usually, either there is a bios feature or a tool, or you just need to charge it to full, discharge it into nothingness until your laptop shuts down, then charge it to full again. -

@wststreet if you do the latter, make sure the battery is really empty in the second step. After it shuts down, wait a minute and try to power it on again. Plug it in only after it doesn't power on on its own. -

@joey @wststreet depends on the laptop, really. My previous laptop was Dell XPS and it went from 100% to high 60s in the span of just 2 years. Then I sold it. -

@joey @wststreet i blame the firmware, not the chemistry. Dell support forums are full of complaints about this issue. -

@phnt @wststreet @joey except i didn't do it. My laptop was unplugged most of the time. The degradation amount was stupid, it went 5% in one day once. Seriously, this cannot possibly be chemistry.
P.S. my Thinkpad Z16 is almost 2 years old now and the battery health hovers in the low 90%-ish. -

Welcome to making satellite shit. We have:
- Asshole chip vendors
- Outdated datasheets, probably from another chip revision
- Drivers that don't compile (because Linux covertly broke APIs again)
- Tooling without source code
- Product requirements that don't make any sense and nobody knows who even wrote them
- Ancient network protocols from the 80s that you need to support (I hate DEC)
- Register group ANAL3 (L3 packet analysis, what did you expect?)
- Software bugs that somehow only fire up during radiation testing
- ECC memory? What's ECC memory? Ah shit..
- $20k per unit devboards more fragile than your grandmother's ancient Radeon card with swollen capacitors
- 25 kbit/s reserve channel (in perfect conditions)
- Faulty GPS with enormous jitter (need that for timekeeping)
- QA that has no idea what it's doing
God, I fucking love my job!

@SuperDicq @sun i didn't bring it for ABI. Please read the litetally first paragraph:
>In the ELF format there are two ways of providing a hash table of symbols. DT_HASH and DT_GNU_HASH. The first one is part of SYSV generic ABI and is well documented and marked as mandatory. DT_GNU_HASH is a newer, smaller, and faster replacement that is _not documented_
GNU documentation for most things is quite honestly atrocious, up to the point where GNU Info is a meme. -

@SuperDicq @sun GNU project has this long standing tradition of taking some old established and well documented Eunuchs standard and replacing it with their poorly documented allegedly slightly better counterpart. In other words, the same EEE behaviour they accuse proprietary vendors of. -

@sun @SuperDicq it's not about corner cases. It's about the system having evolved over the years by having random features bolted on by random devs.
It's literally the same design process that gave us C++. Frankly, not a big fan. -

@sun @SuperDicq no, but maintaining good documentation is totally possible, albeit not in the land of GNU.
