Liftoff is basically a fork of the “old” Lemmur. It’s kinda sad they don’t even mention it anywhere on the repo :/ (they mention in the app’s about page)

I didn't know anything about Raddle besides the name until now. But gosh, is that a needlessly toxic pit. There's a poor guy there getting completely beaten up by an admin and some others which seem to be enjoying their time-wasting public bullying. Oh well...

Yeah. And battery issues are one of the biggest sources of new phone purchases. This is going to help reduce e-waste for sure.

They sure will fight it. The main counter-argument I see is water proofing, but I believe I've seen a phone with good proofing but still accessible. Don't remember the brand and model though.

tmpod OP ,

Good question. I'm sure there's still ways to make them water proof, even if it requires some little screws. Still, I'd rather have replaceable battery rather than total water tight casing.

They could certainly do better, but they do quite a bit yeah.

tmpod OP ,

Yes, for sure. My last phone lasted two months shy of 6 years, and was replaced because of a touch issue (a little strip across the screen no longer acted on touch, which made typing and other stuff completely impossible), and was only "fine" in regards to battery because it was a huge one to begin with (+4Ah for a 5" screen). The battery was definitely way worse than original, but still on par with some new phones today lol

Naturally. Just a shame it isn't a bit earlier :P

tmpod OP ,
@tmpod@lemmy.pt avatar

Yeah, I support that decision :P
I personally don't see that much value in water proofing, I've never came across a situation where I thought it would have been rather helpful to have water proofing. Maybe I've just been very lucky hehe

mm maybe. connectors should definitely have a tiny magnet, but its still rare...

tmpod OP ,
@tmpod@lemmy.pt avatar

Yeah, agreed

tmpod OP ,

I don't see an issue, but perhaps nobody ever thought to really try shipping a device with something like that. Specially since the water proofing advent.

Dang, looking at those phones from back then, they were such good designs. Simple yet effective.
