I see nothing wrong with using a Logitech controller for this purpose. They kept spares so even if they died somehow, you could just swap in another. And even if the batteries died, and you were a complete asshat and didn't bring any extras, you could likely just plug it in.
It's just hilarious that people are constantly talking about this controller and not the myriad of other legitimate safety red flags.
That's incredibly naive.
It abso-fucking-lutely is.
Does this really need an explanation?
Non-replaceable batteries provide zero benefits.
Swappable batteries allow you to just carry extras instead of being tethered to a charger. I used to literally never plug my phone in. Just swap batteries one or twice a day.
It's the first component to die in most phones, and people can't be bothered or don't realize you can have them replaced, so they just throw them in the garbage. That's why they started doing it in the first place.
No, for the same reason I haven't been interested in a long time; no promises for software updates. My Zenphone 6 got 1 update.
What's to stop Revolt from becoming the next Discord?
Edit: I just logged into my account to see that Revolt had removed a "server" for breaking foreign (unjust) laws. That seems to go against everything the fediverse stands for.
That's not true. What they said was that the users who voted make up a tiny portion of the overall userbase.
However, you can't force them all to vote. You can only ask and accept the answer of the active ones that choose to participate.
Reddit must be exhausted playing these ethics games. Just admit that they want to kill 3rd party apps and they're not going to tolerate malicious compliance with the rules.
If you don't already have an OpenAI account, don't make one. You don't need it. There are several other ways to access it without an accounts. Shamelessly stolen from Reddit:

Unfortunately these companies have caught on to the fake phone number workaround and don't allow VoIP numbers anymore. Fucking shame on them. There are dozens of other ways to verify legitimate users that don't require giving out personal information for no reason.
Feels like I'm back on Reddit circa 2015 LOL
No one needs to pay them. Not being treated like garbage is sufficient.
