Fair point, thing is there just exists a better way of doing small ungrounded plugs like phone chargers, I honestly haven’t used a British phone charger but from what I saw they seem pretty bulky compared to what I have

Virtually all systems protect again shortcircuit at the breaker lever. Japan mostly has no ground but a RCD/GFCI for the whole house.

Basically how this works is that it checks if all the current leaving on the live wire is also returning on the neutral wire. If the current returning on the neutral is less than the one leaving then a part of the current must have found another way to get to ground (through your body for example) and it breaks the circuit hopefully before any danger could happen.

Now this doesn’t make ground useless, there are 2 different protection systems that work in different ways, and sometimes protect in different scenarios too, the RCD is also an active protection that can and fail, compared to ground wich is passive.

Having both is ALWAYS safer

Here in Romania we use Type F but sometimes also install a modular Type L socket alongside regular ones because it’s smaller and you can fit 2 of those in place of a full Type F/Schuko one. We don’t use Italian plugs and so only use them for europlugs (max 2.5A and double-insulated so no ground needed) (Kind of something like this)

I do find it kind of sad seeing them getting slowly replaced even in Italy (I know it won’t fully happen of course) because they’re very space efficient

You can still have sockets that accept grounded appliances like washing machines without ALWAYS requiring a bulky third prong that’s not gonna get used anyways. And about the shutters you can have them open when both prongs are inserted at the same time

This may be a little bit offtopic, but is there any way to archive my comments/posts in an offline file with links to the original thread if I want to see them again before I delethe them?

That is one of the most annoying thing that i experienced (and still do) when i switched to linux some months ago. Sometimes I have a problem and I look online to solve it where I see that i have to do some terminal commands explaimed with terms I dont know and maybe edit a file in /etc, only to find out some days later that I could have done it very easily with the GUI in much less time and without that hassle. Most advanced users find the terminal easier, but for new users it is really hard without knowing the commands and can only copy-paste. Over time i started to learn some commands, but doing it so abruptly will just discourage everyone.

Switching to linux was a very good thing I did and I should have done it earlier, but I still keep a copy of windows, the biggest reason is to have a machine that just works if i really need to do some thing and if I have a problem with linux, that and for compatibility, to a smaller extent as I (luckly) do not use need to use THAT programs the just refuse to work in linux

Being on the metro the phone could will easily fall when accelerating and braking

I thought it was detecting bots based on how you are moving your mouse, etc to solve it, but if they can be solved by AI do they want their AI trained by other AI?

Woud that be /home/username/SATA (SATA is my ntfs partition) or /home/username (where user will be deleted and will be replaced with my partition)?

So how could I install programs on the other drive? When they get installed they are scattered between /bin /lib /usr/bin and others, how could I move them in /media/SATA (where my drive is mounted)

The only thing I can do is move appimages until now

Yeah they did, and that’s why I don’t advise anyone to make an account there, from that and nazi there is still a long way though

Would it be possible to put a fuse inside type F (schuko) and C (europlug) plugs like they do with the G (british) plug?

I would want some federated more traditional forums instead of a reddit approach, that would have so many advantages, like threads not dying this often and just being easier to navigate

How many times was this image screenshoted and recompressed?

For me the slight lag is the worst, I can stand charging them and cant notice the lower audio quality but the lag is so annoying, For music they are good, bot not for things you interact with

Well sadly I dont use a privacy respecting one, i use nokia g21

Only a tv decoder unfourtounatly (

I still cant decide between .opus, .ogg and .oga extensions for opus

I always kinda liked the idea of this kind of closed networks
