I’m in the USA but I think it’s inevitable. The USA is the single largest primarily English speaking democracy in the world. Since Lemmy.world is a primarily English speaking instance, it should be expected that an American would create a politics community first and since it’s the first they just call it politics.

For example, the UK is the only country in the world where they don’t put the country name on their stamps. Because they invented paper stamps first in 1840.

This is not a fight worth worrying about IMO.

Bud Lite?

I really miss hot swappable batteries. Just carry a small spare battery and swap it when needed. So much now convenient than needing to plug it in to top up.

IMO the law is intended to reduce consumer electronic waste, making batteries that anyone from kids to grandparents can easily replace themselves. Currently the steam deck battery isn’t all that difficult to replace for the tech savvy “brave” folks who happily open up their devices and see the internals, but for most people that’s not good enough. I would never expect my 68 year old mother to replace it herself. IMO the aim is to make batteries replaceable like the PS5 SSD expansion capacity is. Just need a screwdriver and a few minutes, without every feeling like you might break something. Needing anything more than that and most people won’t do it out of fear they’ll break their device.

But only time will tell what actually happens.

ifixit: “Battery replacements definitely seem to be the steam deck’s achilles heel”

Easy to open yes, but still very challenging to replace the battery. Doesn’t seem to comply to the new rules to me.

So it’s hopeless. Lol

Good thing you had a removable battery so you could charge the battery outside the phone lol

Give me a phone with a removable battery in the style of the HTC Sensation 4G. Sexy, metal, easy to open and swap the battery. It was an incredible device that I remember using fondly.

Clearly it’s actually 99 which is a reference to Brooklyn nine nine the TV show!

I used to worry about this a lot, I still do but I used to too.

Joking aside, it’s a shit show that us plebians can’t really do anything about but I still try. I’ve driven a hybrid for the last 6 years, I have a smart thermostat to try to save energy, I try to eat less meat more often. I recycle a lot more than most. I even make my own bread and nut milks and many other things which is not only cheaper and healthier (and WAY more delicious) but requires less transport related greenhouse gas emissions than buying premade breads and nut milks. Nut milk is especially better than dairy milk in that matter.

Oh yeah! And yesterday I picked up 10 large trash bags of litter:

Praise /u/spez! /s

I literally couldn’t find Lemmy.world on Google by searching Lemmy.world, it was wild to see that.

Just patch it with revanced to work for the foreseeable future. That’s what I’m planning to do.
