You and @Rookwood@lemmy.world are both right.
On one side, helping small business get started is good.
The other side, breaking up monopolies and market manipulators is also needed.
That's thinking of the charger as a separate business from the location its installed at.
The charger could be owned and operated by the local business instead.
I honestly loath the current app based "charging network" model. It's nothing more than another way to collect data and track people.
There's also the idea of a Loss Leader.
People need to stop and charge. While they're there, you can also sell food, beverages, and all sorts of anything really.
Not everything needs to make a profit on it's own. Many stations couldn't survive only on fuel sales.
Basically, RSS as you said, is a one way street. There is no feedback. It's not so much communication, but broadcasting.
Hypocritical for sure.
Not really unexpected, so not ironic.
I would liken the Democrats to Megamind, and the Republicans to Hal Stewart.
they say giving their biometric data to an unaccountable company crosses a line.
The company is unaccountable‽
That's some projection.
It probably lost 20+% of it's max charge in that time. That's what I'm talking about.
Don't use these super fast charging rates. They aren't good for your battery.
I got an ASUS ROG phone because you can set it to charge slower, and stop at 80%. The battery longevity will be better.
I'm surprised there aren't any publishers who intentionally break that.
"Titanic Strikes Iceburg! Did the Unsinkable Sink? Did Anyone Survive?"
I know I would.
Treating high speed wired internet as a required utility, like phone and electricity.
Wireless is convenient, and cheep to implement. But nothing is as reliable, or as fast, as direct connection.
Right now that would be a fiber-optic line to every home in the country. Just like was mandated for phone and electric lines in the past.
