SAP still seems to do it this way.

I would prefer to let Bluesky die silently instead of throwing a life line.

I used to live in Regensburg, one of the northernmost Roman garrisons. So, the oldest remaining building (stone wall) is almost 2000 years old.

Nothing

Nothing at all.

„has been killed“ would be the proper wording

I’m 46. I had some really bad breakups in my life, was alone for a couple of years. Until I met my (now) wife just 4 years ago. This changed everything because it made me realize that what I thought to be love before was just a shadow of what love truly is.

Keep looking forward and do not torture yourself over what could have been or what went wrong. Nothing went wrong. It’s just life that happened. There will be some amazing person out there and you just haven’t stumbled upon this person yet.

It’s ok to grief a bit. That’s healthy. But look forward and do not hurt yourself in the process.

Fair enough!

The problem is: Once the CO2 is in the atmosphere, it’s there. It does damage. No money in the world will undo that, unless we build massive factories that extract CO2 from the atmosphere and make coal- or oil-like stuff that we put back in the earth. At the same moment your consumption blasts CO2 out in the atmosphere.

That does not exist. There is no system in place (except for some small but ludicrously expensive labs) that could do that.

Planting trees (or something similar) might help in a few decades, if the trees are still alive then and not being harvested. Until then the CO2 is in the atmosphere, doing its damage. Every day, every minute, every second.

Why? To ease your conscience by claiming that it is not as bad because you paid something extra? It’s the modern version of the selling of indulgences.

It’s worse than doing nothing because it gives the people the illusion that it’s not so bad - while in fact it is exactly as bad.

Can we fast forward to the moment when this actually happens, please?

As mentioned: It’s not the silver bullet solution but something that raises the bar for abuse. The reputational score is build up over time on the specific server based on the up- and downvotes you received.

So, yes, this can be abused itself as well - but it requires a lot more effort.

People may not like it but a reputation system could solve this. Yes, it’s not the ultimate weapon and can surely be abused itself.

But it could help to prevent something like this.

How could it work? Well, each server could retain a reputation score for each user it knows. Every up- or downvote is then modified by this value.

This will not solve the issue entirely, but will make it less easy to abuse.

They never manage to feel native. Keeping data reliably? - Not really possible. Stability? - Fully reliant on the browser. Native notifications, target for sharing stuff, etc.? - Never seen it. …

It always feels like a compromise.

What a loss! 😜

It can look as nice as it gets. A PWA remains a PWA. Yes, I understand that there are people that like it. I don’t. I still hope for an Apollo port to Lemmy. But the development progress of Mlem and Memmy is remarkable as well.

Lots of words to say:

1. We do what we are legally allowed to do.
2. We don’t care for the spirit of open source (anymore).
3. Pay up or fuck off!

So, if your phones‘ batteries last 10 years - why do you even need a replaceable battery?

Biggest issues with Peertube so far: Lack of content Lack of an iOS client

I do not like this, at all.

I don’t want to replace my battery. I want my battery to last. 5 years, at least.

This legislation will achieve the opposite and paves the way for batteries that are just crap and need replacement after 12 or 18 months. The companies have no motivation to make better batteries, protect them better against premature degradation.

Sounds good, but generates a lot of trash.

So, the decisions of a boss, whose company lost 2/3 of its value in the last couple of months is an inspiring icon for the Reddit CEO?

That explains a lot and should be a warning for any investor.

No, they don’t.

The switch off far too late. The battery is built for weight and size, not for durability. The do not keep a margin to preserve battery life and charge way too high and too low.

Replacing batteries is the wrong approach, because it wastes resources we don’t need to waste.

I’m firmly convinced that 5 years battery life is achievable, if we just force the companies to do it. It’s just cheaper for them not to do it right now. And companies always do what is cheapest.

And worse: This legislation will actually cement the battery degradation, because the companies have even less reason to build batteries that last. “Just replace them!” will be the answer if it’s dead after 6 months.
