That is fucking crazy. That is basically two orders of magnitudes less than many other social media apps while still having most of the same functions.

Absolutely crazy to me lol

Cool to see.

I am curious though, does Slackware do anything that other Distros can’t?

Is there a reason to choose it over say Debian or Fedora aside from it being around for so long and the nostalgia factor

The camera on the Fairphone 3 is only okay. But there is an upgraded camera module you can buy from Fairphone.

I’m not much of a photographer so it doesn’t bother me. But if you take a lot of pictures, it’s something to keep in mind.

The picture has Centra brand products. Centra is a chain of Irish convenience stores with a bunch of own brand products.

Also OP mentions being Irish on their profile

Hello fellow Irish Lemmy user

‘I gotta plan Arthur’

Vanity, marketing and buying shit unnecessarily.

I have a Fairphone 3 that I got in January 2020. Its a great device. I want to using it daily for between 5 to 10 years. And I have no doubt it will do that.

Meanwhile my brother has bought 3 Samsung devices in that time. And each one still works fine. He doesn’t need a new phone each time but he will still insist on it.

Boy do I have a phone for you!

Ive been using my Fairphone 3 every single day since January 2020. I did have a vibration motor wear out, but its replaceable so its fine. My battery is a bit iffy now. According to a battery scan app I use, its at 63% health. I’ll be replacing that soon too since sometimes it will only charge up to a certain point etc. Still though, on any other phone, that would be a deal breaker, but since I can order a replacemt battery for like 25€, its not an issue.

Only other issue I have is sometimes the screen experiences ghost touches, where it will register a touch on the screen even when I’m not using it. Again, this will be fixed with a replacement later on.

I love my Fairphone and I strongly reccomend it for its repairablity alone. The sustainability and FairTrade aspects are just a bonus IMO.

I bought my Fairphone 3 at the start of 2020. I love it. I love the fact I can dissamble it with the provided screwdriver in two minutes.

I love that I can buy replacement parts for it if anything breaks without having to get some kind of expensive repair from Apple or Samsung. Ive replaced the charging port on this phone and I’ll be replacing the battery soon too. Giving people the ability to fix and maintain their own devices is fantastic.

I am hoping to get a decade out of this device and I’m nearing 4 years with no complaints so far. I’m a little bit dissapointed they got rid of the headphone jack on the Fairphone 4. While you can get adapters etc, it shouldn’t be necessary imo. That alone is my biggest gripe with that device. Aside from that though, they make great devices and I highly reccomend them

You can use adb to uninstall those kinds of baked in apps. Its completely fucked up that you need to though.

It should spark backlash everywhere. Not just France ffs

This seems to fix it. I have no idea how or what caused that setting to be enabled since I did not change it.

I can see my posts etc now. Thank you for the tip.

With Louis Rossman, sometimes I dont find his videos very interesting. But every now and again he will drop a bombshell that sends waves throughout the industry, and for that, I respect him immensely.

Outside of his YouTube stuff, the way hes so vocal about Right to Repair too. I think its awesome. More power to him.

Unfettered Capitalism breeds emshitification.

Why build and keep a great product when shareholders will always push for more growth and higher revenue. Even if that means laying off your best devs and pissing off users.

I think its probably the server being weird. Hopefully it gets resolved soon

Yes they do

Oh for fuck sake.

Fuck Google. I used Waze since it didnt need a Google account and was still reasonably popular in my area.

If I have to use a Google account for this shit, I dont know what I’d do.
