He is a very good diplomat… And a disappointing politic.

Prescription lenses are available at checkout, yes.

I’d be interested once it is compatible with Linux.

Depending of the country, could be a billion actually (some countries uses a dot as thousands separators). But I’d call bullshit is that was what OP pretended.

At five years you’re probably going to be disappointed with the battery performance, but how many people are continuing to use a 5-year-old phone?

My brother has a 6+ years old Iphone, my parents both have a 5 years old Samsung Galaxy Phone (S21 and A51). None of them complains.

On top of that, giving the user access to the battery means the phone body can’t be fully sealed against moisture and dust

Do you think computer waterblocks are sealed using glue? They aren’t. Screws and a good old o-ring are all you need to make a repairable AND waterproof phone. But they don’t want a repairable phone, they want you to buy a new one whenever possible.

plus the access panel is a big mechanical weakpoint which means the body will be less rigid than a fully enclosed device and thus more prone to breaking when dropped or sat on.

I dropped my FP5 multiple time. He never broke. My brother IPhone got a shatered back, and he had to replace the screen once for falling from a distance the FP5 just shrug off.

Plus, the addional space required to fit in the replaceable battery casing, the removable access panel and the contact points for the battery means either the whole device will have to be bulkier or the battery will have to be smaller (than it would otherwise be with a permanent internal battery).

True, but ot also don’t have to be the old pogo pin way. Any currently available battery is a removable battery given it is user accessible and isn’t glued to the board.

Today it’s weight and bulk, plus fragility that will probably lead to equivalent or increased e-waste.

I wonder… What would be the biggest e-waste? A dead battery or a dead battery with a whole perfectly functional phone attached to it?

Even with a backup, there are chance they put a “security feature” to prevent downgrade.

Makes sense. But you can offset part of the shipping from the fact that you can easily do the repair yourself.

Another possibility would be the HMD Skyline. Less repairable than Fairphones, but still far easier than most other smartphones. Only 2 years of updates though.

But starting from 2027, a removable battery will be mandatory for all smartphone in the EU, which mean most, if not all smartphone will switch to removable battery. This may also make repair a lot easier.

For being too forward, maybe?

Forward shipping exists.

Hum… So Fairphone ?

As a Frenchman, Bernie Sanders is one of the few American politician I still respect. He fought for the same cause for decade without compromission, respecting his losses. If someone would be able to win against Trump, that would be him, but he is getting a bit too old to be president. 😅

Happy cake day.

Problem is that they have a very staunch stance of not allowing closed source software in their repo. And that apply to flatpak repos too. By default only Fedora own Flatpak repo is enabled, with only open-source software. But why repackage OBS, which is already open-source? My guess would be:

• To use Fedora runtime to minimise install size
• To change how the software is compiled, like removing any “not free enough” bits from the build

If a company making bricks goes under, I’d be pretty worried about the quality of their product.

I agree that there is a genocide going on, I’m just pointing out that it is a bit hypocritical to consider “Death to Israel” as being ok while any other “Death to X” being a call for violence.

Israel has as much right to exist than Palestine. And those who uses violence to further their agenda should be stopped at all cost, no matter the side they are on.

Very informative, thank you.

The intention matters, yes.

What would “Death to Palestine” mean to you? Is it a call for violence against Palestinians or is it a weird way to tell “Merry Christmas” ?

But “Death to Germany” would be if the idea was to kill or displace the majority of German.

Alovoa is the name.

Got a match, conversation was going well, got ghosted. Still no idea why 😅.
