I would guess a swappable battery would be separated from the vehicle, similar to a gas bottle for a grill.

The battery would be rented for a small deposit and on swapping you only pay the energy + service fee.

I guess you could also buy one to own, but then could not swap that.

That's how it would make sense, at least.

Back in the day Signal was a Qt app, did that change?

How can the ISP force their dns? They can't know where you got the destination ip from.

Right, forgot we're talking about mushrooms, but the same applies.

I've looked at some plant based leather alternatives, and most of them mostly contain polyurethane or a similar plastic. Additionally, they tend to be not very durable.

You don't use GNOME to get rid of bloat. You use it to get a fully functional opinionated desktop without tweaking too much.

If you want no "bloat", whatever that is, use some minimal compositor like Sway or something.

Personally, I say: Give me all the bloat, I love it! I love every cool and quality of life feature there is. I have enough space on any desktop computer.
