Back in 2014 you just bought a spare and replaced it, nowadays they all want to play the same bullshit games Apple innovated on. It was was about time an authority that ruled over a market with significant purchasing power made a decision against it.

You paid $100 for a battery replacement!?!? My Galaxy S7’s second battery cost us $12!

30 years old or older
I’m 23

Sadly not too many options where I live.

Newer phones are harder to get custom ROMs on and most of them don’t have them.

Enshittification is fueled by normies NEVER LEARNING.

Boo hoo, I am so stressed! I can only fly in a gold plated private jet instead of a rhodium plated one. The west has fallen, trillions must fly

Only solution is an older phone with custom ROM

Nutjobs should just be ignored, as much as I dislike leftists Meta is an actual massive threat to Fedi.

I’ve been buying Sony headphones because they sound great for the price but they ALWAYS fail at the same plastic left ear hinge within 1 year or usually less. No more.

One of my biggest dreams is to fuel Earth with SBSP, it’s basically solar panels on hyper mega steroids and if we united to actually create an array of energy beam satellites we would accelerate industry by a lot. It’s much cleaner and greener than coal, hydro or nuclear, without the disadvantages of either. The ultimate solarpunk effort.

Sadly people will still jump there. It will eventually overtake Mastodon in numbers because people are dependent on the convenience of walled gardens.

Back when I was a teenager I had the blind optimism the future would be bright and we would keep all the positive trends we had in the early 2010s.

The next closest one is the only one open in Atlanta and it’s exploding heads.

yeah pass 💀💀💀

I second this, powermods are cancer.

My respects to you. I really think websites and software in general need to have efficiency in mind again. Webapps should use as few resources as possible, save people’s time, their money and the planet.

It already did since 2 years ago, random “unverified content” bullshit login walls on popular/valuable advice, tens of megabytes of Javascript that took long to load on intermittent/unstable connections and terrible UI in general.

It’s been fascinating to watch the corporate web ecosystem that rose in the late 2000s slowly start to collapse.

Good, I hope they die.

So pretty much useless sadly
