How long have you been in there?! A popular tourist destination in China has installed toilet timers. Reactions are mixed. (edition.cnn.com)

A video recently shared on various Chinese news and social media sites shows a set of timers installed above a row of toilet cubicles in a female washroom, with each stall getting its own digital counter....

To not even consider being stuck on a toilet for that long, I’m jealous of your non-IBS digestive tract.

To spell it out for you, Just because something is well established in the industry does not make it good.

If as soon as it’s more profitable for it to not be they stop supporting it, then yes they were pretending.

I looked it up on Google, they couldn’t “look down” and thus couldn’t fall.

… how do you have hope for stuff like this at this point.

Even worse than outright negativity, there are capitalists that spin negative things as uplifting because they ignore the horrible things that happen to get there causing an unhealthy dependency on said horrible things…

Imagine claiming mining helium is the solution when free energy is right there radiating from the sun.

Though, of course, simple scientific curiosity may not justify the enormous cost of the undertaking. That’s where commercial interest comes in.

That’s not what this is about, the author doesn’t care about that, all they see is a finite, exploitable resource that will line their pockets.

However, to answer your question, we already have that technology.

it’s not the answer to every situation

Actually, better than that, I’m not an expert! There are professionals whose jobs are to design those systems and could do better than I putting together a solution. However, more destruction of finite resources when there is easy access to an unlimited resource should be limited to final resorts.

Nuclear, or if you want space stuff, build a station at the Lagrange point and sling from there? I don’t need to be an expert in launch solutions to know that we shouldn’t speculate mining the moon till it’s well researched and that we have more accessible options here for the forseeable future with solar as my choice of example, so let’s not jump the gun on another finite resource?

I am referring to commercial speculation, and I literally laid this out in the second sentence, thanks!

This is what turned me around: investigating and realizing that it is following the unix philosophy, it’s just under the hood (under the other hood inside the bigger under the hood).

Aria2 in the terminal has this feature:

They’re literally ignoring specs… and also most of the features of gnome are the extensions, so I’d count that.

That’s mine!

Which theme and what did you do? I’ve never seen breeze break.

@optissima@lemmy.world avatar

Most? I don’t think that someone who installs Dash to Panel would say most of their features are extensions, just some essential ones. I feel like you could go as far as “If any essential features you use are gnome extensions you shouldn’t be using gnome.”

Iirc it was better to port through for backwards accessibility?

They’ve started phasing that one out, but I’ve found repeating “help” gets similar results.

I was trying to find a link to a supplier, could you link?

Edit: found that it’s on mouser, but also discovered they’re using USB-Micro still, so that’s going to have to be a pass :(
