Battery lifetimes are specced as 80% capacity remaining. So a 300 mile range becomes 240 miles. Still highly usable.

I’m only an amateur but I’m happy to give it a go

I pine for the old days when you had to have technical skill to interact on the internet, and that virtually all content available was valuable.

The problem is, I am now too old and time-poor to learn new technical skills fast enough to stay ahead of the horde.

I am therefore surrounded by people who vomit their asinine thoughts into the void, and have become one of them. If I am here, then so are they.

The whole premise of asking basic questions is flawed. A wiki is perfect for answering 95% of peoples questions, so do that instead.

Discussion forums are great for complex, esoteric issues. But few people have those. Most have basic questions, so if you want bland content for the sake of it then go right ahead. Bye bye signal to noise.

Nice tin-foil hat you have there

They need to show profit to their investors. They sunk millions into NFT bullshit and now the only way is to force everyone into the official app to serve ads and whatever other nefarious ideas they have.

It’s a short term plan, guaranteed.

IMAP supports TLS, what’s Proton’s excuse for enforcing their own delivery protocol?

Kbin was trivial to figure out. Mastodon I still struggle with a bit.

There are those of us who used to be tech-savvy “back in the day” that don’t handle change either quickly or well.

I feel personally attacked, lol.

The problem I find with the technologically illiterate is that they immediately blurt out what’s on their mind. They ask the same fucking questions over and over, without searching first. The signal to noise ratio drops way down and every day is the same shit.

I am more than happy to interact with people of all walks of life but the internet is very “Groundhog Day” compared with when techies were the only ones on here. I’m not sure what the solution is that gives us perpetual cake.

They won’t in the short term.

In the long run they’ll hopefully go the way of myspace/digg.

It takes a long time for a juggernaut to die. They can circle the drain for years

Don’t know don’t care, I haven’t been back since the bullshit started.

One does not simply unjump the shark

The OOTB experience of everything is declining

This is just a standard “clearing house” measure. Remove the dissidents, ignore the howls of complaint… surround yourselves with “yes men” and then you are set
