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.

Nice tin-foil hat you have there

Impaired is impaired. Shouldn’t drive if your ability is compromised, especially when most people only start off with half a clue.

Coffee is also dangerous in the sense that it masks the sensation of fatigue, but you are still impaired. Driving tired is extremely dangerous as well.

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

I don’t mind it. It’s outing all the companies who are run by people who lack critical thinking skills. Thanks for letting me know which corners of the internet to avoid

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

That makes two of us!

Top quality meme but I’m wondering which thing we’re referring to this time?

Kbin is to reddit as mastodon is to twitter, IMO.

I tried to look at a reddit link via mobile web browser and it said something really stupid like… we can’t show you this on the web you need to use the app.

Dafuq? Hell no. I guess I’m not looking at it then. Jumped the shark, well and truly.

Ads are an anti-pattern for me. If I have to sit through your bullshit I am NOT buying your product. It’s in your best interests for me to run an ad blocker. I also run Sponsorblock to skip the product-shilling parts, similar reasons. I buy things on merit after researching, not because I saw it on a video.

Still, by watching the video, it will be recommended to other people because it’s popular. Being a little tounge-in-cheek here but I like to think that by watching it, I am crowdsourcing the ad revenue aspect to other viewers who will sit through the ads.
