<p>This<p>Rebase only makes sense if you making huge PRs where you need to break it down into smaller commits to have them make sense.<p>If you keep your PRs small, squashing it works well enough, and is far less work and more consistent in teams.<p>Expecting your team to carefully group their commits and have good commit messages for each is a lot of unnecessary extra work.</p>

<p>I have a Framework 13 running an AMD AI 300 Series with Fedora as my personal laptop and an MBP M2 Pro as my work machine.<p>I would say that the Framework is fine for battery life when you’re using it but loses like 20-30% of battery per day in sleep mode vs like 1% per day for the MBP.<p>The workaround I use now is to set the FW to hibernate after 30 minutes of sleep so it’s not dead when I decide to use it again after a few days.<p>The downside of this is that waking up takes a couple of minutes and so I still tend to use the MBP if I need to do something quick and don’t want to wait for the hibernate tax.</p>

<p>I really wanted to switch to the Proton stack and even tried it for a couple weeks but the search in Proton Mail is so bad I couldn’t use it for even simple things like finding my airline tickets. I had to switch back to Google Workspace.<p>It doesn’t seem like Proton even really cares about the how bad their mail search is and is more focused on releasing new products.</p>

<p>I would love to feel sorry, but seems you’re technically capable of preventing this (unlike most people), just chose “convenience.”<p>Well, this is the downside of “convenience.”<p>If you manage to recover your belongings, I hope you stop preaching around how living in a normal apartment in society is good and everyone should accept the risk of home invasion instead of living in an underground bunker with biometric access controls and armed security.</p>

<p>Crypto doesn't solve any of the actual problems here.<p>These kids can't access any services because they don't legally exist in government systems. No birth certificate means no school enrollment, no healthcare, no social grants.<p>You think a 15-year-old footballer who can't play in tournaments because he has no birth certificate is going to be helped by Bitcoin?<p>What school is letting them enroll because they have a hardware wallet?<p>This is a civil administration problem that needs government solutions: streamlined processes, digital systems, reduced fees, and political will.</p>
