The reason is for safety (so people don't get out of their car while it's halted in L without the parking brake), this did cause me to (slowly) crash once, I am sure people have been nearly injured by the safety feature.
I later replaced my Bolt with a Tesla Model 3 (yeah, I have a lot of complaints here too, but overall it's less annoying) purely for fast-charging reasons, but driving a Bolt again afterwards drove me absolutely insane with their L mode:
- have to enable it each drive
- doesn't work in reverse
- creeps when seatbelt comes unbuckled and sometimes RANDOMLY
- randomly decides it's not going to regen as much even when low on charge
I know it's not the top of anybody else's demands from a car, but what the fuck Chevrolet. There should always be a button for "I didn't buy an EV by accident, now let me fucking drive it normally".The truth is Chevrolet never intended to allow you to use L mode to drive at all. They only added it in, so you can put on the parking brake, and tap down the gear selector repeatedly to switch between L and D, making your car bounce up and down. I don't know of any other car with an electric twerking lever, and for that reason, it still holds a special place in my heart.

Tox in specific lets libsodium/nacl do all the cryptography and provides little above the core methods, the more complex parts were the networking

it wasn't much of a team split, just the dev team's resident pakistani computer salesman (stqism) embezzled a bunch of money and ran off, as much as I think Tox is untrustworthy and stupid I can say I'm pretty sure nobody else in Tox was involved with this

it has core bootstrap nodeshttps://wiki.tox.chat/users/nodes , and a pretty bad DHT formation, so by distributing a few nasty clients with bad bootstrap URLs you could easily cause multiple splits in the network

right now it's absolutely awful in terms of everything it has set out to do, the internal dev team even knows of a few more security issues that they haven't publicly disclosed yet and have made little effort to resolve
t. made the linked website, used to be in dev team

side note, I was involved with development of tox for quite some time, and made the website that is being linked to here
avoid tox its full of bugs

Sorry that was my fault, while I was making the website and asked some people with working phones to take screenshots I got bullied out of the devs channel and wasn't around to tell them not to screw it up

It's still being put together, we have an order form now if you want to give it a shot

Well while trying to get our vape-shop startup off the ground we considered the idea of having a page where you can mine a vape, and this evolved into the more achievable "mine a pizza"
