When I say “we” are blameless, “we” includes the government “we” voted in.

Our government could have easily applied regulations to imports to counteract this.

It reminds me how we introduced pig farm welfare regulations. Almost overnight, the pork industry collapsed and was replaced by an import industry from countries without the regulations. The government could have easily said you also can’t import pork that wasn’t raised in those welfare conditions, but they chose not to.

I see this the same. Surely we could have regulations around the emission history of products regardless of the country of manufacture.

Isn’t that my point though? That everything got offshored to China, then we complain about China’s emissions.

I honestly think we should.

If I’m a massive climate polluter, say, I use a lot of coal to produce steel. If my company decides to set up a subsidiary in China to make it, then claims they just reduced their climate emissions by 90%, I would say that’s a bunch of bullshit, all they did was move where the chimneys were.

I’m an advocate for having carbon credits decided based on supply chains not based on borders, otherwise all we do is move our pollution to countries that don’t care.

Isn’t that like saying I’m morally fine for knowingly buying stuff made with slave labour because they aren’t my slaves?

Interesting! Do you (or anyone) know of any similar one that’s FOSS and available outside of Google Play?

It’s probably consumption power changes below X threshold for some amount of time

Hmm yeah that’s what we figured. We were on holiday, we couldn’t take food home to eat later so just forced the food down then didn’t eat again for 24 hours 😆

Ok serious question. I live in a country where they don’t serve you free bread.

What do you do if you eat all the delicious bread then you aren’t hungry anymore?

I had this real life scenario happen when I was in Canada and we felt obligated to order mains even though we didn’t want them.

Is it socially acceptable to pay for your drinks and leave?

I wouldn’t say incompetence in that there are many excellent experts in China who perfectly know -and always knew- a better way forward. The problem imo is that they have nothing to say, and everyone who dares to express an even slightly different opinion than the central government risks to get in big trouble.

Where I live, we have plenty of experts, and the current government largely ignores their advice. I’m not sure this is any different.

Anyway, I just learnt something, so I’m going to back away now. Have a good day.

Well my point was basically this:

The only thing Western countries are to blame is that they didn’t ban cheap Chinese tech already back in the 2000s (industry experts have warned about this even then).

But you’re right, I started reading with an agenda and got the wrong point.

This problem has intentionally been “Made in China.”

You’re implying it was the government’s intent rather than incompetence?

I think it’s worth noting that all this energy is needed for all the manufacturing that we demand. Western countries aren’t blameless in this.

Isn’t the joke that he wrote is desired salary is a billion dollars for a box moving job, and they gave it to him?

I don’t see how this is viable or how employment history is relevant?

A warning, it’s different from a normal launcher. That’s why I love it!

I love KISS.

I change the settings to set swipes for common apps like browser and camera, set others as favorites like email and messaging apps, and then set it to show nothing else except the search bar. Tapping the search bar shows commonly used apps, or you can a search.

Works great for my “workflow”, and leaves the “desktop” almost completely clear. Then I have the wallpaper set to the NASA astronomy picture of the day. Works great!

Nice! Glad to hear you got it sorted 🙂

I’m sure they will have a new model out soon that blasts the advert at you at excess volume.

It’s probably more likely that Amazon benefits through higher sales so has no incentive to fix it.

Does Amazon have a way to report this? It seems trivial to set a “I got an order I didn’t ask for” page, then ask for tracking numbers. Genuine mistakes happen but they would probably find the regular offenders pretty quick.

Well the containers are grouped into services. I would easily have 15 services running, some run a separate postgres or redis while others do an internal sqlite so hard to say (I’m not where I can look rn).

If we’re counting containers then between Nextcloud and Home Assistant I’m probably over 20 already lol.

But how do I read these subtle hints, can’t she just tell me how she’s feeling?
