  • A tiny radioactive battery could keep your future phone running for 50 years

  • You are just moving goalposts here. None of these scenarios are particularly relevant anyway. Even if the phone shell cracked, the battery casing would be enough to shield from the radiation. And what does throwing the phone in the trash have to do with keeping it in your pocket.

  • Don't be that guy.

  • Im just shocked because this can really pass for some crappy smart watch ECG tracing. I see what resembles P waves, then the QRST is spot on, really.

  • Wait, what the heck. Why does that graph look so much like an ECG?

  • It is hard to say, I do not follow politics closely enough to have real guesses as to the reasoning. The MOD official stance for this specific question is referencing NATO Northatlantic treaty Article 3 and also that "the situation in Ukraine has demonstrated the need for strong defensive military".

    Afaik the Baltics are seen as a strategic sore spot for NATO and in case of invasion it would be hard to defend, especially in a timely matter. Although that I think changes with our nordic friends joining NATO.

  • That is the goal of reinstating the sevice, yes, and many of my countrymen would see it as a worthy cause. Idea is that mandatory drafting will only happen if not enough volunteers apply but I also read that they intend every (male) citizen to have some participation in this before 27.

    I firmly reject this notion, however. There is no cause worthy enough to forego a persons individual freedoms.

    There are no official exemptions for freedom of thought or religion (although our constitution should in theory allow this). Dodging is a felony, being a felon is an exemption however.

    The whole ordeal is completely ludicrous too. The compensation is 300 euros (600 for volunteers(?!)) a month, the duration is 11 months. Obviously only men get drafted, women are for some reason exempt (MOD states this matter of factly that currently it is enough to draft only men).

    And after finishing this military service you are forever in military reserves, which has its own obligations such as mandatory periodic training.

    There is however some murky “alternative service”, which technically does not involve direct military service. There are no concrete details here but generally it is thought that this will entail working in some MOD office type deal.

    The reasons for the uncertainty is that the first draft was filled with volunteers.

  • Fuck this, I can’t stand the idea that in the 21st century you can still have involuntary servitude.

    My country recently reinstated mandatory military service. I mean obviously, how else can we get people to sign up. There is of course the idea of actually paying well and giving proper benefits to people who voluntarily sign up, but this is clearly lunacy.

    And this is the single biggest reason I am emigrating from my country before my three male offspring are 18, unless this decision is repealed in the next 5 or so years.

  • I didn't know where else to ask this, if there is another comm i should ask please lmk. Do you have any suggestions for wireless headphones i can use with linux?

  • At 80 I would urge you to consider wired again or save up. Otherwise I would look for the cheapest amazon / ali headset you can find a decent review online (off amazon) for.

  • Thank you all so much for keeping me on the Linux train!

  • Theres many people that go for ergo mice these days as well as ergo mech keyboard enthusiasts that sometimes put trackballs on their builds.

  • Absolutely yes to the first part, just use archinstall. The second is in large part up to you, but pacman + AUR are amazing.

  • Why not just find a local print shop and order the design you want?

    E: I don’t give a shit about the downvotes, but can someone answer the actual question?
