used to just view reddit stuff earlier (without account due to privacy reasons), but decided to stop that during reddit API changes, and then learnt about lemmy, and been here since then (not with a single account, had a old account which I deleted this year when i switched the base instance)

There is no 1 single answer. Just do it when you (and they) feel comfortable. Considering from a practical standpoint, do it when both of you are comfortable in sharing their chores, and having dull moments in life.

why replace what is not broken?

Although I would like to ask, Why?

Hello from India.

in Hindi (transliterated, because not same script) - Namaste

You can do 2 things - install a custom rom or de-enshittyify

From what i got from checking - there is not any rom already present, you can try to make one yourself, but that is a hard process

to de-enshittyify - you can start with UAD https://github.com/Universal-Debloater-Alliance/universal-android-debloater-next-generation.

• first boot into phone (and dont connect to internet) and enable dev mode

• then connect to desktop and open UAD, and it will give a long list apps which you can consider from removal (with deifferent degrees of recommendations)

• you may also disable remove google play services at your risk (google apps, and banking stuff would not work, but better battery life and privacy)

• after doing this, also remove any xaomi skin apps (can be done with UAD, in case it does not find anything, check the unknown section too) (phone, sms, message, …) these are usually forked from aosp, but with added “features”

• replace these apps with fdroid equivalent (a good family of apps is fossify https://www.fossify.org/, and also use newpipe)

I am a bit experienced, so I can do it all in 1.5 hours, if you have not done this before, maybe 2-3 hours, and you will have a clean phone, largely devoid of closed source apps

I have recentlly created a data directory in my home dir, and moved almost everything I need to it. Even configs and program data are in it somewhere I find ok, and symlinked to the xdg dirs (I know i can make my new location the xdg dir for config and data, but this way I selectively add stuff to my now main config, so it remains more pristine)

I think the ice just reduce the friction, but not enough ice forms to commpletely cover ground or be thick enough to protect the surface below from weathering

no, i think cpus are allowed to access all of memory, where gpus (dependingon config) have to to ask for memory via cpu in chunks of 500MiB to GiB

also, maybe check motherboard setting for this power curves

not really experienced - but is there a memory read limit somewhere? if your gpu is not able to read fast enough or write fast enough this would result in lower usage (68%). I think with intel cards, you have to enable

Also encoding being slower than CPU is possible (there is a possibility there are not just enough units on the card to the encode) but in this case, it seems much lower, possibly power limited?

hey where is the painting - I can only see 2 identical images, just 1 is bigger /s

yes, they are effective like sails you use, but hard, and often segmented

In case you want to look at my config https://lemmings.world/post/21375035/13799657

I have basically the same machine (7730u instead of 7735u) - works great (go into bios and set power saving mode (default is smart cool, which is not that great, I had higher power consumption at idle) and disable psp)

AMD vs Intel - does not really matter - try to find performance/price ratio and pick better one. Also, go on lenovo configurator site, yoou maybe able to find (or spec up) the same laptop for even cheaper (I got mine for about $400)

Can I please get a video of the doggy bumber bowling? On a more serious note, may I ask why not covers? It is one of the safest passive ways, if the weight is the issue, there are some even glass fibre reinforced plastic based sheets (something like surf board) which would be light but hard.

It is genuinely awesome

Have been continuing to read manga (one piece, started roughly 2 weeks ago, have read about 450+ chapters - 48-49 volumes)

nets are indeed an excellent light and cheap idea

maybe the kiddie-floaty like things (or the adult versions) in case the dog fells into water, then he may have something to hold onto/get on it. Also maybe some wooden slabs (plastics would be cheaper but would not look good, and they may even fly away in strong winds, but handling wooden slabs maybe harder because of weight, may be a 2 person task to take them on and off) cut to shape of your pool to cover it completely/partially. This will reduce the chances of doggy unknowingly (that is to you guys would know if it is risky for him to go outside or not) fall in the pool. This will also double up as ypour general pool cover to keep your pool water clean, and can also help you insulate your water better, in case you live in a frigid climate and heat the pool, or in some very hot climate and want to keep your water cool.

Is khamir (and then by extension ymir) a derivative word from the same root or is it the other way around, or totally independent words ?
