Depends - average would probably be about 2-3 hours? Not great but not awful for my use.

I could replace the battery and improve this - ifixit sell the kits - but currently I have no need.

My mid 2013 MacBook air sees more use than any of my other devices.

I bought it for £100 a few years back and haven’t looked back.

Ore forebears’ masters were money-grubbing cunts, this is true. Let’s not pretend old matey in the pits was actively participating in the enactment of policies which caused death and emigration on scales unbeknownst before.

Our masters are now too, but at least they pretend not to be. Although they still don’t teach kids about the empire properly.

They have enough of those in their club already tbh.

Well put.

Sometimes we need to abandon our principles to care for others. My goodness is less important than the wellbeing of those who are oppressed.

To be fair I grew up in a religious household so he was a bit of a folk hero for us.

He was an interesting chap.

Disgraceful!

XFCE. Because I’m an idiot, and all my computers are old.

How many of them know who Bonhoeffer was though?

Wait until he finds out about Icelandic naming conventions!

It’s hard not to be a doomer with news like this - I’m glad I’m not having kids is all I can think about when I read this; I don’t want to think about what the world is going to look like when I’m (not much) older.

Population is increasing, despite this. But the current dialogue around immigration is absolutely horrific, so good luck to everyone who plans on living long enough to maybe need care.

The line must go UP.

I mean, It was that or being deported to Afghanistan - he obviously thought a boat journey was better than taking his daughter to “safe” Basra.

That’s sort of besides the point really, though, no?

If you’re tasked with maintaining a structure (lol) you can be expected to perhaps attempt to know where all the bits you’re responsible for are aren’t you?

But then again, Severn-Trent uses dousing rods to find water mains so who knows what they he’ll they’re actually doing.

I’ve found that breaking cables is a personal issue. I still have an old usb Xbox 360 controller for pc gaming from when I owned an xbox. My partner has destroyed cables for laptops, hairdryers, headphones in less than 12 months.

Some cables are objectively worse than others (macbook chargers I’m looking at you) but a modicum of care generally is enough to make sure they last without too much hassle.

So it’s likely that I’ll have 2-5 people accessing the central info.

It’s one household so they’ll be on the same network but ideally I’d like to be able to sync calendars (and the associated info) at any given time online.

That’s where I run out of knowledge, essentially. Setting up a basic CalDAV server (like Baikal for example) isn’t beyond the realm of possibility, it’s just knowing how to actually get it online.

Would I need my own server in my home, or can I host it similarly to my Wordpress website, for example?

Yeah, CalDAV looks like the best fit from my limited searching, it’s just actually putting that into a usable system that I can use that I’m struggling with!

I don’t mind a bit of proprietary-ness, what I’m after is controlling how and with whom I can share my data.

Essentially the goal is to have a family’s worth of accounts with Calendars, To-Dos/Reminders, and Notes that I can back up myself but still allows syncing to phones/PCs, etc. and basically a central calendar for ‘global’ (ie. Whole family) events.

I (and plenty of people I know) regularly attend live music, with on the door prices that are equivalent to the cost of a few drinks. But equally I’ve been prices out of seeing some of my favourite acts because they’re big enough to demand higher costs so I totally get where you’re coming from.

I think what I’m getting at could better be phrased as; people don’t want to see small acts much these days.

There’s loads of acts like Ed Sheeran, but if you’re into Ed, not just music like him, it’s going to seem like it’s impossible to watch it live, when in actuality there’s a lot of gigging musicians who are out there with accessible performances.
