A sad and at the same time inspiring story. It gives me hope that even people close to the toxic environment of Trump are able to make informed, reasonable decisions and are not blindly falling for this con man.

Let’s hope that this will be enough to deny Trump a second term.

Yes, typo

The rule is pretty clear: Stay away from anything Altman touches if you want to keep a clear conscience.

SAP still seems to do it this way.

„has been killed“ would be the proper wording

If it would be ha-capable it would be perfect. (At least on paper. )

I really need to try this.

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

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.

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.

This is exactly what happens in cars. Usually, you have an 8 year warranty for your battery.

Yes, a phone is smaller. Less space and weight. But 5 years are less as well. The electronics can track everything, shut the phone down if it’s too hot (and not when it’s so hot that it’s in danger to burst into flames like it is now). Adjust the charging speed by temperature. Do not charge the battery to 100 %. …

All things the manufacturer can influence.

I don’t even want to replace my battery. I want it to last. At least 5 years.

Bring legislation that enforces a 5 year warranty on batteries that are built-in. That would help the environment much more than being able to replace a battery every year that shouldn’t fail in the first place. And yes, it’s possible to build batteries that last longer. It’s more effort, true. But so is building exchangeable batteries or doing an exchange. I rather shell off 50 € more for my phone when I know that the battery will make it 5 years.

It almost looks like Reddit is trying to commit suicide in the fastest possible way.

I still have an account there. But I will delete it the moment the Apollo goes dark.
