I second this. A more powerful 12V socket adapter is far better than a battery pack.
Like this.

My old person trait is that I think I should be able to have anything I purchased repaired/serviced by whomever I wish, with whatever parts they deem acceptable.

The ability to copy the URL of a video so I can paste it to NewPipe - or a setting where I can choose to use YouTube or NewPipe all red the time.

When I was using Reddit, I used RIF.

A snowball has a better chance of surviving in hell than me joining anything Meta.

This is my first toe-in-the-water experience of the Fediverse. To be honest, I'm still trying to understand exactly how it all works, but I'm enjoying myself so far.

What would really make my day would be a RIF -type app, as someone on the road a lot, and only able to view on mobile.

Many of the younger generations seem to accept that things don't last/break easily. I come from a time where there was a wiring diagram for the TV pasted on the inside back cover. Washing machines and other devices often had the schematics included. Repairing your stuff and keeping it running was the norm back then. Even if you couldn't, you probably had a neighbour who could. Planned obsolescence is a relatively new thing.

That's why I'm here 😁
