  • Very happy to hear! I've looked into Movim before and am quite excited by what they're doing. I am hoping to see an F-Droid mobile app at some point, I haven't had much luck with PWAs in the past.

  • Chinese warships came within 10km of Australian waters: Defence

    Jump

  • So the claim is they were provocatively close to Australian waters, not in Australian waters, and the waters that they were close to are the EEZ which it's generally regarded that they are allowed to be in anyway?

    All States may conduct military activities in the EEZ for peaceful purposes, including a foreign State, provided that the operating State has due regard to the rights and duties of other States.

    If this is something other then fear mongering then I must be missing something.

  • Vim 9.2 Is Out with Comprehensive Completion, Wayland Support, and More - 9to5Linux

    Jump

  • Vim hasn't been able to copy to the clipboard since I switched to Wayland. Now it can and hopefully will do so in general as I have unnamedplus enabled, making the system clipboard the default one.

  • full Wayland support (including clipboard support)

    Woohoo! This limitation has significantly reduced the utility of vim for me in recent times, so it's great to see

  • EU says TikTok's 'addictive design' harms children

  • Absolutely wild how governments are fine with regulation that involves loss of privacy but not regulation that actually reduces the harm.

  • Thanks, I was reading this as pertaining to subsequent children, not stages, and was confused

  • Are there any good modern MP3 players?

    Jump

  • I don't have a specific recommendation, but I believe the key words to search for these days are "Digital Audio Player".

    I've been following the open hardware Tangara for a while, but they're between production runs right now so you can't buy from them (you might be able to build your own though, the design is all there)

    As a heads up, like so many other technologies the middle has fallen out of the market thanks to the proliferation of smart phones. You'll be paying a lot for anything decent from what I've seen

  • Ode to the AA Battery

    Jump

  • One problem is many devices don't have a proper BMS integrated into the charging circuit, that will cut power before the battery is below a critical threshold. Li-ion cells start to have problems below 3V, and often suffer permanent damage below 2.5V.

    This is a problem with rechargeable AAs too, though less common maybe? Many kids toys and cheap decorative lights will drain a AA to dead in my experience. I've had to reintroduce disposable batteries with the rule "no microcontroller, no rechargeable"
