  • Well yes, and I think 1000 charge cycles aren’t very many at all to get down to 80% battery health. A heavy user could easily get to that within 3 years, charging every day. So within 3 years you have a battery that holds much less of a charge than a new one does and you can’t replace it, because that’s supposed to be good enough to be allowed to place irreplaceable ones. It’s all for the planned obsolescence that these companies create.






  • You won’t get everyone to stop, obviously, just like there are a lot of people who still smoke. But there are much fewer people who smoke now than in the sixties and even than in 2000.

    And you have to keep trying to help people to stop, because – using the smoking analogy again – now we have vaping as a gateway drug to smoking, and quitting rates are much lower in third-world countries.

    Anyways, I did quit FB, instagram and never had a twitter/X account. Phasing out reddit as well. Not trying to be harsh, but the fact that you didn’t make it doesn’t mean no one else can.
