Yeah. Reminds me of a dependency fuckup with steam on pop os that uninstalled the desktop environment when trying to install steam.

My point is that if that is the case (and I do understand why) then i can’t possibly recommend Linux to people that don’t want their OS to be their hobby, because as for my experience they will come across something that needs some command line input.

But that’s in my experience sadly very necessary especially in the beginning when you are getting into Linux. So getting into Linux has quite a steep learning curve because not knowing what you are copy pasting can have terrible consequences, but understanding everything before you copy paste is very demanding.
When out comes to my main rig, i never had the experience of everything just working out of the box. There was always something that required me searching for obscure fixes, hoping for the best.

The Dev confirmed that the trackers which are part of the ads plugin are not loaded when purchasing the app.

I am with you on this one. I do think it would be appropriate to have a disclaimer in the beginning, saying that these words used to have a different meaning, and that in the context of the time they were written they meant different things than today.
There is a German book where this is done that uses the N word for people of color.
This is the more appropriate way of handling this, because i am totally with you: we shouldn’t change what was written in books. If we start doing that, we destroy what authors have done, and in a sense we also edit history, because in this case we try to erase that these words were used in another context back in the days.

I am flabbergasted.

Stretch it!

Yeah, big ass fans are absolutely awesome. Their biggest over head fan is 30ft (10m) across

Yes, you are right, but I meant the safety shutoff mechanism. Normally it just cuts the power to all dangerous stuff or brings it to a safe state. Here it’s not “cutting the power to the magnet”, it’s physically releasing the helium and damaging the superconductor in the process.

Yeah, I can imagine someone thinking it’s entirely electrical shitting their pants too a sound of Smaug roaring.

While I agree that this would certainly be interesting I don’t really know how this could work. First of all: Real current sensing can only really be done with a constant current driver. Not saying that this would be accurate but this should indeed work for an estimation. But now the first problem arises: Most CC drivers also include a FET for turbo and/or the higher range of the ramp. The moment this switches on you’re out of luck. Another option would be to add a sense resistor. This - again - would surely work to measure current. But you now have the problem that you introduce an (unnessisary) resistance in the driver, limiting the output of the flashlight (if it includes a FET). And lastly I just think that while it surely sounds like a cool feature it’s just not something most flashlight enthusiasts would use regularly. Altering the flashlight circuit for a feature some people may use once or twice out of curiosity with a given flashlight does not seem reasonable and ToyKeeper IIRC has many things on her to do list that she wants to implement. Since this is such a nieche feature that (for what I know) would need hardware modifications on many flashlights out there, I don’t think that this will get implemented.

I’m really picky when it comes to clocks. They need to be ±1 minute. If they aren’t it really starts to bother me.
