Fascinating.
I'd rather have it and not need it...
I prefer unsigned 7-bit integer. Not immediately what you think you want, but still surprisingly useful.
How about we show them how due process works.
List all their crimes, then (if they live long enough to get to the end of the list) they can be imprisoned.
It was before Issac Newton had invented gravity, so you couldn't just feel it.
If the truth would ruin their life, then their decision already did. Your silence only harms their next victim.
Using their feedback website as intended is hardly abusing. They want to know why people are leaving. This tells them what to do to fix it.
And if you don't list wages, you'll get exactly the same talent pool (at best), but you waste the time of people who are already earning more.
My favourite thing about Factorio is the extreme care and attention the devs have put into the game — providing more quality of life updates than I could have ever imagined, actually playing the game themselves, addressing community frustrations, optimising every detail, squashing many obscure bugs, and supporting a surprising number of platforms.
I have no interest in playing a buggy mess (as all slop coded games are) that just happens to look similar on the surface.
The main reason I didn't pick grapheneOS is because I wanted to move away from Google, not pay them more money. (None of non-Pixel phones that can run /e/OS work for my specific use case.)
/e/OS on a Fairphone 6 has been perfectly fine for me once I replaced the default launcher with Lawnchair.
My favourite feature of the Fairphone 6 is the hardware switch. I have it configured to control the torch. I cannot understate how nice it is to turn on a torch using muscle memory and not having to turn on the touch screen first. It's so quick, easy, and convenient.
The app lounge is effectively the Google Play Store just with privacy, although I always search F-Droid first. My bank's app requires Google Play Services to run (not just micro-G), so I'm stuck with using a web browser (or getting off my high horse and installing Play Services).
Push notifications are a little less reliable without Google Play Services. It's frustrating, but a price I'm willing to pay to degoogle.
Everything else just feels like regular Android, and doesn't get in the way.
Could you or someone else have bumped the screen without looking and accidentally hit the auto rotate button? It's happened to me before when I dropped my phone and caught it by the screen.

I took my new (to me) electric motorcycle out with friends for the first time.
I calculated from my previous solo trips that the motorcycle had a range of about 120km (75mi). My friends were more experienced than me, and they picked the route. I had told them that I was only comfortable riding 100km, but I guess that didn't mean much. If I had pressed for details about the route instead of trying to fit in, I would have discovered that the round trip was 140km before we left.
The motorcycle performed beautifully until it shut off after about 120km. Still 20km from civilisation.
What I learned that day is that the average person is far kinder than social media will lead you to believe. I was near the top of the hill, so I decided to push to the top and coast most of the way home. I think around 6 people stopped to help push on the steep section of the hill (one at a time), and I lost count of the number of other people who stopped to check on me on the flat sections. I'm guessing over 20. I was actually thinking of writing a sign that said "I'm fine, don't help me" just so I could make faster progress.
It was a pretty warm day and the motorcycle is about 300kg (650lb), so I was happy to take water from 4 different people along the way.
Eventually someone with a trailer stopped and asked if I wanted to put the motorcycle on the trailer and get a ride home. I don't think I've ever accepted anything faster. It cost me a bottle of high quality whiskey, but it was still much cheaper than calling for roadside assistance.
In summary, it was partly my fault for not pushing for details, and partly my fault for not checking the distance travelled as we went. I'd love to blame the motorcycle for cutting out with 2/5 bars remaining, but I really did know the maximum range. It's also a really cheap motorcycle with almost no thought or effort in its design. It even has a chain guard for a hub motor (no chains anywhere).
I still love the motorcycle, will still only ride electric, and will probably ride with those friends again; but next time I'm checking the distance first.
TL;DR
Rode electric motorcycle further than its max range. Humans are much more caring than you'd expect. Got home exhausted, but proud of humanity.
