Anything breaks, we'll just replace it.

Including the brain. Especially the brain.

Tragedy is comedy + time

That... doesn't really answer the question. So it's relatively easy to leave, but how would you know that you needed to in the first place?

If the voting of posts on an instance were being manipulated, or the visibility of certain sources or users, or if commercial influences were affecting administrative decisions or moderator behavior, how would you know?

How do you discover that you are in a bubble? That the information being presented to you is intentionally skewed in order to project a narrative?

How do you exit Plato's cave if you don't know that you are in it?

thank you!

What is the source for this list, please?

I need to share it with conservatives and listen to them try to justify it.

But can you know that what you see through your instance is being manipulated?

I am of two minds on this. I love repairing electronic equipment, it's what I do for a living, and I buy old tech to fix up all the time.

Replaceable batteries seem like a good thing, in terms of reducing waste for devices that are otherwise still useful... theoretically.

Realistically, the charge management circuitry and the battery chemistry in phones has gotten so good today that most batteries have a useful lifespan that is longer than the useful life of the device. Three years is easily doable for any mid-range phone on the market.

At five years you're probably going to be disappointed with the battery performance, but how many people are continuing to use a 5-year-old phone? At that point the internal technology has changed substantially and there might even be a new network standard that you want to use, so you're probably replacing the whole device even if replacing only the battery is an option.

On top of that, giving the user access to the battery means the phone body can't be fully sealed against moisture and dust, plus the access panel is a big mechanical weakpoint which means the body will be less rigid than a fully enclosed device and thus more prone to breaking when dropped or sat on. Adding those weaknesses back into mobile devices will make them more fragile and (I predict) will lead to more frequent failure and replacement of the entire device, which will offset any waste-saving benefit from the replaceable battery.

Plus, the addional space required to fit in the replaceable battery casing, the removable access panel and the contact points for the battery means either the whole device will have to be bulkier or the battery will have to be smaller (than it would otherwise be with a permanent internal battery).

Replaceable batteries made a lot more sense in 2010 when the batteries were shit (and sometimes still NiCad) and the charge management was basically nonexistent (so the battery cycling wore it out faster). Today it's weight and bulk, plus fragility that will probably lead to equivalent or increased e-waste.
