That’s metal as hell- I mean, heaven!

For a time in the early 2000s I used IE via AvantBrowser. It had some cool features at the time! 😅

What she’s describing is incredibly awful. That’s not your average toxic workplace… I hope she’s doing better now.

I would love to think that this stuff isn’t true, but considering the red flags given off by Linus in recent weeks and months (his anti-union comments, for example), as well as the allegations made by Naomi Wu, the leaked employee handbook with its questionable contents, as well as the anonymous (ex-)employee describing a hostile work environment on the LTT subreddit some time ago… it kinda just fits, you know?

In any case, let’s wait and see how this plays out, but right now it’s not looking good for LMG. I don’t think they will shut down in any case, but surely something is going to happen.

Oh. I guess that’s why a few subs I submitted to some communities there have been pending for days now?

I was using Jerboa but it seems a little unstable, had it crash on me a number of times.

Currently I’m using wefwef as a Chrome app thing.

While I plan on using this platform for the forseeable future - I don’t have too high hopes.

I think it will probably go the way Mastodon is going. A few weeks of being “hot”, then dropping off until it’s pretty much business as usual, as it was before being the hot new thing. Don’t get me wrong, I want Lemmy to succeed and replace reddit, but I wouldn’t bet money on it.

Probably kinda likely, I think?

Manufacturing, storing, shipping and supporting two different models of basically the same phone is probably more expensive than just deploying the one model with the removable battery everywhere.

To elaborate a bit: This is very different than providing models with different radios/modems for different markets. A different radio/modem probably only requires a single, different component(?). A model with a replacable battery requires a different battery design, a different case design, different seals (to make it waterproof) and most likely a different PCB layout, too. That is a tremendous amount of effort compared to swapping out a component or two on an otherwise identical phone.

That’s why I think it’s not unlikely that replacable batteries might become much more common globally once this law is being implemented and applied.
