I mean there are also other countries in the world with various varieties of conservatives but I see your point

I mean, while that could be correct I also consider that if far right spaces get banned regularly then those people are refugees that will invade the next closest thing?

Obviously the next closest thing to far right, is center right. Does that make the center right inherently bad? I don't think so necessarily on principle.

I disagree with conservative views almost entirely but its not something that I believe shouldn't have discussion spaces, unlike far right politics which can just get fucked with their disdain for basic human rights, they don't deserve a seat at the table at all.

I suppose ultimately it's down to moderation isn't it. If conservatives want a seat at the table they have to keep their lunatics in check and if they don't then yeah don't see why I should cry over it really, and thats true of all online communities.

Yeah I feel you there, it is very annoying. I'm similar to you that I don't mind used phones with some bumps and scrapes to them but a giant glowing line and two dead patches on the screen really make the phone unusable without screen replacement and it doesn't sound like the business made that clear to you at all. Hopefully they will give a refund without issue!

Did the seller not include a picture of the issue? Because that's pretty shitty if so.

I mean honestly it's probably near impossible to discuss conservative politics online these days without the far right loonies invading, taking over and getting the place banned lol.

Also I wonder if conservatives would be put off lemmy given the political stance of its creators - even though that shouldn't matter being free and open and not controlled by any one person, you know how people are.

Yeah honestly I can see why manufacturers are so reluctant to put replaceable batteries in phones. It's one of the main reasons people upgrade these days.

They have the handy excuse that it's to make the phone waterproof and they will die on that hill it seems!

Yeah I mean the processing power and general hardware just got to a point where nobody really needs more. In fact my 4 year old phone has the same amount of RAM and similar processor to my new one lol. Unless you're cutting edge 3D gaming it's not needed to have anything more.

I upgraded only because of battery life, higher Hz screen, newer android version, and to get a wide angle lens. Now I have those even its like...what next? Camera quality is all I ever need, screen Hz is perfect. I'm not sure what will make me upgrade next time but if I replace battery down the line and use a third party OS then maybe it'll go even longer!

Yep, in the UK it's part of the theory test, you have to know how and when to check air and fluid levels in order to get a licence.

Where are you from where those things are not part of a driving test?

[–] o_oli@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Fucking gross behaviour that. I hope the app crashes and burns for that predatory shite.

[–] o_oli@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah good point. They are just stress testing, for free. Legends.

Imo admins have a responsibility to disable signups to their server if they feel they are unable to fund/crowdsource or lack the ability to expand capacity (lack of time or know-how).

As long as server admins stick to the above it doesn't matter if it costs €10 or €100000 a month really.

Its impossible to say at which point is the burden too much, because every person has their own threshold and every server can have multiple admins responsible for it, or might have business backing it or whatever really.
