‘I gotta plan Arthur’
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
Me unironically lmao
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
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 thought this was some kind of joke because John Goodenough doesnt sound real
But it is! Thank you for your service sir. RIP
Ive only recently started to follow him, and yeah, hes awesome.
He really seems to know his stuff
My heart weeps for them
/s
Yeah despite the decent reviews, the always online requirement, plus the fact it is not on Steam, so playing it on Steam Deck will be a pain, mean its a no from me.
Guess I’m not missing much by the looks of things lol
Real ‘leopards ate my face’ kind of attitude.
Yeah fuck this move. Seems incredibly short sighted and a huge fuck you to the community.
God I remember reading about Reddit’s warrant canary being taken down.
I remember thinking that it was no big deal and it will always be the same.
How wrong and naive I was lol
Does this count
I use Linux Mint XFCE on my laptop and desktop. And the standard Steam OS on my Steam Deck.
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
