  • I just liked the vibe and name of Kbin. It reminded me of Kerbin, the home planet in Kerbal Space Program.

    I later learned it might be the Polish word for magazine. The “subreddits” here are called magazines, but it could also mean like gun magazine. The latter of which I don’t really care for (especially as a US user), but in the end, I don’t really gaf. It’s just a chill place to hang out.














  • To be fair though, I’ve never heard of a modern phone battery swelling. That’s something that will happen years after it’s EOL, and at that point the company is no longer obligated to supply a replacement (as ideal as that would be).

    An integrated battery allows the company to minimize the size and design of the phone. It’s not 100% greed and planned obsolescence, though its virtually guaranteed those are components of the design decision.

    I want replaceable batteries too. But I want them to be standard so I don’t need 3 chargers for each company’s phone. And I want them to be sleek like modern phones so they fit in my hand and pocket like I’m familiar with.
