is it safe to power on (not charge) a device with a bulging lithium battery?

i have a non-serviceable tablet i want to factory reset before i send it off to either be disposed or refurb. as soon as i noticed it bulging i shut it off, would it be safe to power on again for that?

discord was shitty capitalist way before looking for a buyer, folks. nitro sucks and causes userbase disparity with animated emoji and stickers locked off to the upper classes. it was never good, don't pretend this is surprising news

discord needs to change. this will either change it for better or for worse. evolution cycle baybee

i'm actually grimly hopeful for this:

- best case scenario, M$ makes discord better. teams is a pretty good platform, they already know how to do VoIP, screen sharing and presenting right.
- worst case scenario, M$ shits the bed with it and everybody migrates to something better

that's beside the point about stallman being a rape and pedophilia apologist though

GPL is a harmful license and i refuse to use it on my projects or contribute to GPL-licensed code where i can help it

yeah. between the FSF itself being an organization complicit in sexual harassment, and the strong copyleft licenses it proposed mostly dying on the vine (with the sole exception of the Linux kernel), it's we have to move on. twitter.com/dave_universetf/st

what a great day to everyone who ever replied to me denouncing the fsf with "but they got rid of stallman" to shut the fuck up

RT @sarahmei@twitter.com

Men, if you’re disgusted by the @fsf@twitter.com reinstating rape- and pedophilia-apologist Richard Stallman to their board, today would be a good day to say so.

Tomorrow too!
