Regulation to take care of externalities is OK. "Regulation" in the form of telling businesses how to build their products is not. Politicians are not experts in making smartphones consume less resources, so they are unlikely to m

No I don't know folks that have done that - not for many years. Sure replacing a battery is less waste than replacing an entire device. But what percentage of devices needs replacing? That has to related to the extra cost for every dev

Most people don't have to replace their phones because of the battery. Your assumption that people would buy only one fourth the amount of phones if they could exchange the battery is wrong.

Competition between companies is what drives prices down, not regulation. Companies don't make more money if governments force them to use technology that is more expensive to build.

Batteries are not the issue, software support is. And even with new batteries, the technology will be outdated eventually. My new Pixel 6 has G5, for example, my old Pixel 3 doesn't. A better solution would be to make the phones suitab

Socialists think they know how to make better phones than the industry, so they mandate industry has to do it their way. They are wrong, of course. It is also not "standards and fair consumer regulation", as it will only make phon

My last phone was a Pixel 3 which I had to now replace after 3 years because of the ending software support. However, the battery is still fine. I actually intend to sell it in the hopes somebody can be bothered to run it with LineageOS. Al

You need more materials to construct the phone with a replaceable battery. You need connectors, latches for opening, screws...

Socialist planning economy, that is all that is. It sounds good on paper, but will just make things more wasteful and expensive. I personally haven't had top change batteries in phones for over a decade.

More expensive phones, more materials wasted, bulkier phones.

"The Western media is not putting out disinformation so much as focusing on the things that benefit them." What do you mean - Western media doesn't lie, only shifts focus? Sorry that is just flat out wrong. The last couple of

Why would they show Russian information about the war when you search for Midterm elections? The issue is that they are introducing a manual intervention in the algorithm out of political motives. They are not automatically a great authorit

In the war situation, I assume everything is potentially misinformation, and want to see statements from all sides. I mean if you read Western media, they will literally write "Russia is putting out a lot of disinformation", so th

I'd say a good search engine should try to deliver the results the user is looking for. Simple as that. It probably can never be perfect, as the search engine can only guess what the user is looking for. But it can try to do its best.

Are they committed to not snooping, or just to trying to not do something too outrageous or obvious with the data they gather?

MS Edge "Web Capture" gives you the option to screenshot the full page or select an area.

Did you mean to say "I can be reasonably certain they are looking into what I'm doing"?

"and they don't try to pick fights at school board meetings." wtf - way to pick a political side in an article. So "normal, nice" people are people who never question the government, especially not if Democrats are

What do you consider funny about it? I suppose it is the difference between officially being at war and not. If some country sends fighters to support your enemy, you may start asking if you are at war with that other country, after all? So

I don't think the comparison is appropriate at all, I meant it is shocking how many people make it.

I've seen people draw parallels to Israel all the time in recent days, in the sense of "bombing civilians like Israel". Rather shocking, really.

Of course this question is related to the ongoing conflict. Silly to claim otherwise.

What I don't understand, though: surely they can not be so incompetent as to having forgotten that they need fuel? If all success hinged on the airport, then there should have been some plan B in case of losing the airport?

I also can't think of any examples where it worked - are there? I mean sanctions pushing a population into revolt?

What are you referring to? It sounds to me more like a socialist version of capitalism.

What community are you talking about - Patreon? In general, social networks should not be in the business of filtering fake news.

If their policy is to not allow funding for military stuff, I don't really see the issue?

Sure, but the income stream (or gas output stream) doesn't exist yet.

Ukraine is not in the Nato, so I don't think Nato would consider launching nukes to defend it.
