Old.reddit still works

Gonna add on to this, most people are right in saying get a low amp charger(amps are the more important that volts afaik) 1A is easiest to source but did see a .5A one time. Don't leave charging at 100% for long periods of time.

What is missing from the comments IMO is anyone talking about how you use your phone. Minimise screen time and bloated software that is always running/sending data. Lineage (or graphene OS since you're on a pixel) with no google apps will prolong your battery. For now I've just got some banking apps, molly(signal fork), jerboa and slack on my phone. My 3000mAh battery from 2016 is now lasting over 24 hours instead of less than 8 hours when using mainstream social media apps.

In this analogy it could be that:

• the filesystem is git and the porn is source code
• the file is git and the data is source code
• you don't consider the source code because you can host anything on github
• we shouldn't be reading into the analogy this deeply because its a silly analogy meant for absolute beginners

I agree that porn is a nsfw way to explain something in a lot of scenarios but I disagree about people needing to know at least the names of a technology from an explanation.

Most people don't need to know or care about the names to understand or use them. Knowing the names after I learnt the commands did not give me greater insight into how the tool works.

If they are just being introduced to git and github then they are likely new to programming and have much more important things to care about like learning their first programming language or understanding how their teams project actually works.

A place to host gits is a perfectly good explanation for anyone who is new to it.

How many people use Pornhub for discovery though? I usually find interesting content through a search engine, through word of mouth, through posts on here, etc. at which point it doesn't really matter where the porn is hosted. A lot of the useful content I use aren't even on Pornhub.

Seriously though, I agree with you, githubs value to open source is not it's discover-ability. Personally I think its value comes from the stability, as much as I'm an advocate for self-hosting I know from the amount of dead links on the internet that we could have lost a lot of projects or at least they would move about as hosts went down.

I quite like the idea of federated gitea, although technically there is already a federated platform for porn if you count Lemmy and/or mastadon.

I'm not a fan of either and would advocate everyone not consume large amounts of video content because of how heavy it is from an environmental point of view and move away from corporations from an anticapitalist/freedom point if view.

Let's not kid ourselves though, as shit as twitch is, it does not come close to having the same grip google has on the internet and our lives.

Peertube is a completely different platform, perhaps you're mixing it up with YouTube clients like newpipe or invidious?

Should be called intensely_inhumane 🤣

School shouldn't be like prison and neither should prison tbh.

Prison is designed as a punishment, its pretty problematic to want children to go through a similar system in their formative years, nevermimd that there is so much evidence that prison doesn't even work and just causes worse outcomes.

Treat someone like a criminal they will act like a criminal.

There's no two sides here, the aguments about distractions and agency fall apart when you compare countries like Sweden and Denmark where they don't have uniforms and allow the students lot more agency, against countries like the US, UK and Ireland where they infantalise their students and in the UK's and Ireland's case uniforms are mandatory.

The Nordic countries have way better school performance scores.

On what?

There is nothing on there that you couldn't find an equivalent of in text form(web or paper) or in the millions of hours of TV and film available on and off the web(both legal and not so legal) or on other platforms like twitch/nebula/peertube/lbry.

Sadly not haven't had a tablet for like 8 years

Check out XDA forums or if you want an easier time, check out the lineage OS devices page. If its on the lineage site there's a good chance other OS's are available as well.

Not as bad as you'd think, especially if you buy from a place that tests the devices or know the person selling isn't hard on their devices.

If you are going for a model thats a couple of years old, I would recommend going an alternative OS and no google apps. The analytics they run run does make a considerable difference to battery life. You could use something like microg if some banking apps don't like not having google (the ones I use don't have this issue YMMV)

I'd also recommend simplifying how you use you're device. Ie, don't have apps that run in the background like Facebook, try and keep to using those sites in the browser.

Don't stream stuff over the mobile network(applicable to some tablets), as its a large battery drain. It's designed to blast a load of data and then go inactive to save battery.

You could start doing some of these things on your current device and see if you get much of a change in battery life.

The best device is the one you already have.
