The first one indicates something along the lines of "thinking, please stand by". The second one is a struggle.

I thought Flathub has a review and approval process. Does it fall short in some fundamental way?

Any review process is more than the AUR and NPM are doing.

But when your child is late to school but they won’t allow you in until you scan the QR code and fill in a form? Do you stand and wait hoping to be noticed? Hoping to tailgate somebody with a phone? Just head home?

The school also sends general communications only by app.

I think they do sports teams too.

The towing numbers are always higher in Europe than US too, despite being the same cars (as far as I know).

I have downloaded quite a few Linux ISOs from mirrors at 90MB/s.

Roughly in the layout of the way they came out. Top to bottom, in layers, as it comes apart.

A habit from working on laptops in a warranty center. I might have to try some tape.

Helping something start is not likely to ruin your day (unless you get caught in a rotating part)

I’m a system administrator and I can do my job with no issues at 16GB. Most days 8GB would likely be enough, since I’m just using and abusing other systems anyway.

Java devs at my last job were still running 16GB in 2020. Admittedly that was a while ago. Still not a decade.

Close some Chrome tabs?

A few months later, they'd realize it wasn't working out, come back, scream at us, and buy something bigger and faster.

I really liked the MSI one I had, but I knew what I was getting into.

Anything with push button start. It has been around a while.

It also doesn't require a hard press, just enough,

I think it'd be fairly straight forward to damage the rubber hoses near the calipers so that failure was imminent but not immediate.
