If you’re technically inclined, a simple bash script with a for loop could dump the time and discharge rate to a text file every minute. Then you could copy/paste that into LibreOffice calc and do yourself some pretty graphs, or whatever.
edit: just found a tool called powerstat which looks like it does sampling over longer intervals.
I discovered today that my most played game on Steam is Astronner with about 500 hours, and my second most played is Surviving Mars with about 500 hours.
For perspective, that’s like 6 years of full-time employment. I am equal parts impressed and horrified.
At the very least, that game has cost you over USD 87,000 in those six years in terms of money not earned. (assuming 12,000 hours of minimum wage work).
I have a use case where I’d like to store a handful of strings with static values, alongside my code that references them. The general reason for not hard coding them where they’re called, is that I’d like to make it easy for the end user to customize and modify them....
You should have a look at Sebastian Lague’s programming videos on Youtube. He models various things (eg: predator/prey/ant colonies, slime growth) using a few very simple rules. They’re just beautiful. Example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-iSQQgOd1A
Don’t need API access to scrape data. That’s the whole point of scraping - you’re indistinguishable from regular traffic. Nitter could even impersonate a Google search crawler if they want.
I’m considering getting a laptop for Linux and want to know a few things before I do. Some important info before I start: I don’t plan on using the laptop for anything too intense, mainly writing, digital art, streaming, browsing, and maybe very mild video editing (cropping at least and shortening at most). I would also...
Lenovo is renowned for their excellent linux compatibility. I’m sure you’ll get a bunch of proponents here saying the same.
BUT, oh boy. Don’t get me started…
Too late. Having used various models of thinkpads in recent years, their inconsistent keyboard layouts will drive you absolutely insane. I swear, at this point they’re just fucking with us.
I’ve got one in pieces somewhere, that has/had the ~ key next to the FN key on the bottom row! How the fuck are you supposed to use Linux if you’re ~ key is down there? It’s fucking stupid.
Not to mention their keys have a tendency to break off with just the mildest of fist slams.
AND the latest work-issued recent model is fucking with us again! It has the FN key ON THE LEFT SIDE of the Ctrl key on the left. Who does that? The Ctrl is always the left-most bottom key. Now, every time I fucking go to press Ctrl+something, I end up hitting FN instead.
Fucking morons! At this rate this laptop will also end up in pieces.
So, tldr; Stay the fuck away from Lenovo if you want to use Linux and not end up in prison for vehicular homicide.
Huge fan of Peter Molyneux. I still fondly remember my when my favorite game studio was Bullfrog. However, the last time Peter teased a new project it was the farcical What’s inside the cube. They they never paid out the winner.
100% guaranteed this is going to be something really cool, or a steaming pile of poo.
Im considering spending some serious time learning one of the above.

“People like this cannot be educated, cannot be persuaded, and their rhetoric causes a great deal of harm.”
I’m sorry, but that sounds like a gross personal attack on a certain group.
Look, I hear where you’re coming from. I can’t stand the MAGA movement. But the fact is the planet is full of disagreements and people who feel wronged. Sometimes it is important to hear these voices, both for our understanding and theirs.
By blocking instances we disagree with, we not only become a groupthink echo chamber, but we create another echo chamber in the banned community.
As a group, we can’t put our hands over our ears and shout “lalalalalala…” every time we hear something we disagree with. We are a society. Don’t be so precious.
Having said all that, I am in favor of individual users having the ability to block messages from an whole instance. It should be entirely up to the individual.
“keeping the fediverse clean unfortunately means that hateful opinions must be shut down”
If you replace ‘hateful’ with ‘opposing’ then your statement is quite alarming.
Is not the difference between ‘hateful’ and ‘opposing’, just a matter of perspective? I’m sure MAGA supporters don’t see themselves as hateful any more than we see ourselves as hateful. Yet, we’re more than happy to hate MAGA supporters.
Blocking ‘hate’ (aka: opposition) in the name of ‘keeping the fediverse clean’ is a sure fire way to turn this society into another Reddit.
I say, leave it up to the individual users. If a user really doesn’t want to see any posts from an instance, let them block it on an individual basis.

Hey, folks! My son (currently 15) is interested in getting into game development. He's taken a class in Python in school and enjoyed it, but I know Python won't be enough.
