The world must know of my skills.
Great news. Although it’s bizarre that it took an entire continent passing a new law to get to this point.
You’re making a lot of good points here, but I feel like this last bit goes against how most people would evaluate purchasing such a phone after the fact.
For a customer who wants the best phone for their money, the Fairphone is objectively worse. It’s marketed at the niche segment of people who are willing to spend extra for a mid-tier phone to get more environmentally and socially conscious hardware. (…) Most people will be incredibly unhappy with a Fairphone 5 if the alternative would’ve been a Pixel 8.
People don’t walk around comparing what they have to what they don’t have based on specifications alone (that’s just successful marketing). Their actual experiences are what matters. The FP is a good enough phone that most people will experience no issues having one. Most people simply don’t need the best of the best, and whether it’s a FP or a Pixel doing what they need their phones to do is of very little consequence to them.
Don’t get me wrong. If you’re price oriented, and you want to get the most bang for the buck, there’s better options. But I would argue that this doesn’t matter all that much for most people’s satisfaction, which is probably much more by affected long support and repairability (even if it’s just that you can swap the battery).
Not at all, but I see that lots of Lemmy users are into self-hosting and like to set up their own media boxes, where I can see how large SSDs could come in handy.
Should’ve added that I don’t use this laptop for gaming. I also don’t store multiple AAA games in parallel. But I get your point.
No U
My laptop has a 256GB SSD, and even this still feels plenty to me. Not sure what I’d even do with 500 times that much space.
15 years ago. But I still gotta use Windows at work.
For a few years, I had hope that Microsoft would become a respectable, user-oriented, even FOSS-friendly company, but they finally seem to have settled on AI enshitification as their main business model.
From a legal standpoint, the description (share DRM-free games with your friends) is also questionable as it’s currently worded. Copyright still applies to games that don’t use DRM. For OP, it might be a good idea to ask a lawyer to look this over and write a proper legal disclaimer, so they don’t end up being liable for copyright infringement.
I guess we’re moving away from individual social networks towards a network of networks, a sort of… uh… meta network one might say.
You’re right, lemme edit this real quick.
Used to have an Eee PC running CrunchBang (Debian + Openbox). Really lightweight and simple (some potential for customization), and it was enough to carry me all the way through university.
An elite 1.5 million.
For me, it’s the opposite. Only ever lurked on Reddit, but started posting and commenting more here. Feels more inviting.
I came to Lemmy after Reddit’s crackdown on third-party clients. Looking back, I’m pretty happy with how Lemmy is going and how it feels right now. The number of users decreased after the initial spike, sure, but it also stabilized at a respectable level. There are things I’m still missing, but the way it is definitely works for me.
That’s not the maintainer, just the user who opened the issue. Here’s a (somewhat ironic) interaction between the same user and the maintainer: https://github.com/7c/fakefilter/issues/69
Based on this other issue by the same user, I think there’s no cause for concern that the dev will actually blacklist PM/SL: https://github.com/7c/fakefilter/issues/69
Anyone working with GitHub probably knows that it’d be lunacy to just act upon every issue/PR that people come up with.
That was my first smartphone, and I absolutely loved it! Shame nothing like it ever came out again.
