Man, environmental news is just one feel good story after the other. Like, is something happening or something? /s

Okay... it was, though.
I think it's extremely hard to tell what people would prioritize. If you aks them hypothetically, everyone probably is some green warrior for mother earth. But then when push comes to shove, the industry will give them the choice between a flagship phone, glued all around, and a phone with a removable battery with all the greatest specs from five years ago. Of course many will chose the glued one, and then some people will be like "welp, the free market has decided". 🤷

So you think your average MBA holder would not go the "extract short term value at all cost" route? Because it feels like they would. Maybe it's more of a "the wrong people making it to the top" problem.
So what would be the end goal for Meta? Weaken reddit and twitter as platforms, but they don't believe that the fediverse is able to take off in the mass market, so people will finally post on Facebook again?
Edit: A word
They don't mention it as one of their inspirations but this also looks like a cool open source alternative to Obsidian. Although I don't think Logseq has a mobile app which i really love for Obsidian.
Very cool! I used to think that no one would care when researchers would protest these things by striking. But I guess anything that hurts the well oiled money making machine that is modern academia (not for researchers though, of course) gets noticed. Seeing it done for real is great, and even more so that it was successful!
There are some kids toys where they hold the toy in place in the cardboard packaging by having a screw go through a little plastic plate, through the cardboard and then into the toy. I always found these really wastefull and anoying to open.
I also imagine these scissors getting progressively smaller until you have to buy tweesers to handle the scissors you use to open the scissors you bought to open...
The machine needs to be fed.
They be wanting them moneys. 🤷
With how capable modern mobile CPUs are phones could really last a long time without feeling "so last generation" very fast. So the battery really often is the bottleneck and not having it be replaceable would really just be planned obsolescence with extra steps. It's good to hear some good news once in a while.
