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

„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?

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.

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

All browsers have horrible resource management. Chrome is bad. Firefox is worse.

I do not understand why it is standard that a single browser tab can eat up the full resources of the underlying hardware. And worse: The browser programmers do not even realize that this is a problem.

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.

Brave and Safari

I used to be a Firefox fanboy. But they don’t care for resources and just eat ram and cpu for lunch. So, it is not usable for me, unless I close all tabs all the time - which I don’t like.

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.

I wish there would be an iOS app for Peertube. Then I could start to migrate. But without a mobile app, this is not really useful.

(Yes, I know some people love to use a webpage on their phones. I don’t.)

Well, I’m not that cheerful. Essentially, they changed one dictatorship for another. The elections where everything but democratic and Ortega is not any better than his predecessors. Just different.
