Going by your comments, I think you need to know a few basics before you get into people’s suggestions for actual services. Start with this: more or less, “the cloud” is just someone else’s computer. It’s bigger, the connection is faster, etc., but the services you use most likely run on a Linux computer much like the one you already have.

For experimenting with the topic, it would be good to have another computer that you can mess around with and not worry about having a usable machine. If you can cobble together a desktop from old parts it will be enough to start the learning process.

It doesn’t have to be a civil war. Unless the brain dead MAGA crowd sides with the obscenely rich, a couple of hangings would do.

Either way, if you think a few lemmy comments will turn the tide then it’s already too late.

If engineers were the ones in control that would mean something.

As I see it, phone manufacturers have zero reasons to keep the battery degradation low, but many reasons to push advertised capacity and charging speed. If you were cynical, you could also assume that they’re trying to make sure the battery doesn’t last too long because they want to keep selling new phones.

They would act very differently if they expected armed resistance at every corner. This isn’t a war.

This whole thing of preserving battery life is something for people that want to use a phone for 5+ years without needing a new battery.

That’s a narrow point of view. It’s also reducing the ecological impact if a device’s battery isn’t trashed after two years, someone else would likely use it.
