Require a single person to finance everything and hope for enough donations to keep running, no incentivization for content creation.

Peertube is missing a couple of things to even be reasonably viable.

grade school Bible class:

Teacher: I want you all to read this passage and this passage tonight and then be ready to talk about what you think it means tomorrow.

Tomorrow: I read those two passages. And I think they mean this. But question, I read a bunch more and I saw this kind of stuff and that kind of stuff.

Teacher: Oh, yeah, you should just read on ahead into things. There’s a lot of stuff in there that you’re not ready for.

Me: There was stuff in there about hearding people for doing things that don’t seem that bad. That’s not what we teach here.

Teacher: Um, yeah, they don’t actually mean what they’re saying.

Me: So how do you tell when they mean what they’re saying versus when they don’t mean what they’re saying?

Teacher: That’s why you’re not ready yet.

Me: I don’t think a book should have those kind of things in it, if it doesn’t mean them. I really don’t think the people should decide what it means or what it doesn’t mean.

Teacher: That’s why it’s really important to go to church to learn it.

Me: That doesn’t make it any better.

I didn’t stay in religious school for very much longer.

about the time I started learning that it was a bunch of religious big wigs deciding what books were going to be included.

Constant plugin isn’t actually the problem. When the battery’s in good condition, they can stay plugged in and it only charges when it hits 99%, it stops again at 100. But as the battery gets older, the cells degrade and the resistance gets higher. They can start trying to push to 100% when it can no longer get here. At that point, they’re supposed to be some smart software to determine that you can no longer charge to that level and reduce the capacity that tries to charge to. But if you never discharge fully and recharge that software often doesn’t work.

The best solution for the condition is to use software that makes the phone stop charging it 80%. It takes the battery a very, very long time to lose 20% of its capacity if you don’t hit the overcharging over temperature issues.

Having the battery stop at 50% or 80% the battery will probably outlast the hardware.

Postmarket OS is getting there. It only runs at all on a couple dozen older phones. And they don’t currently have receive voice. But 2 months ago they didn’t have 4G data or send voice so…

Oh, and battery life is not good.

My next mobile device will likely be a small tablet running Linux and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
