Right? Fucking tankies crying tears into an ocean here.

The fuck kind of question is that? Not going to entertain an uneducated troll.

What does that have to do with anything? You gave dangerous advice to someone with unknown skill levels for handling batteries.

But yes, I do, and if you don’t know what you’re doing and puncture a cell trying to take the wrap off, you’ll have a bad time. Li-Ion fires are terrifying, and it makes no sense to replace a few cells when you can just get the whole damn battery for a few dollars more and mitigate the risk of burning down your house.

What kind of terrible advice is this?

Absolutely do not start ripping apart your old laptop battery to replace cells if you don’t know what you’re doing. Depending on the battery size and type, you might also not have many cells at all to replace.

You would be better off buying a cheap replacement battery, especially if it’s already 10 years old. Any cells that aren’t bad today will likely be very soon.

Telling people to pop open a Li-Ion battery is asking for a fire.

If you cave everytime someone gets offended, you won’t be able to write anything. Ignore people like that that are purposefully misconstruing your intentions just to make themselves feel better about their boring lives.

Jesus fucking Christ chill out. Shit like this will just turn people away. Get off your high horse and understand that nobody is making light of anyone’s situation by using that term. So annoying.

Typical European attitude I see

8C is about 46F.

Right from the USDA government agency.

Bacteria grows more rapidly in food starting at about 40F.

I think I’ll trust the food safety agency over some random pretentious guy on Lemmy thanks very much.

I’M NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT. I’M NOT WORRIED ABOUT ANY OF IT. THERE’S WORSE SHIT ON THE LOCAL NEWS.

Having to write a cover letter explaining why I’m a good fit for the instance.

It’s not a difficult ask, but it’s going to turn a vast majority of potential users away from the service.

I understand the need for it, but a typical user is going to be confused by:

• Having to “sell” yourselves to some unknown individual, or group of individuals
• Choosing an “instance”, when most users have never heard of such a thing, and don’t understand how a federated system operates
• For the above: Understanding different instances and which one allows cross-instance posting
• Simplicity. None of this is “simple” in terms of making a new account for a social media platform. This is unlike any mainstream platform out there.

Again, I understand the need for all this. But your average user, which Lemmy desperately needs more of if it wants to become the safe haven for Reddit refugees, is going to be incredibly frustrated and dissuaded by the whole process.
