While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys' opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

I’m not going to criticize the project, because it’s good. But, to me, using anything that gives Google an edge in controlling the direction of technology is bad. So, no Chromium products and no Android.

I despise Google, and I agree with chromium, but when the only other alternative is using the proprietary walled garden that is iOS, I'll take degoogled Android everyday.

What can android do that you actually do that iOS cannot?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Personally, I like using the terminal on my phone, and the only terminal I found for iOS is extremely slow because its emulating linux.

You mean locally or for ssh?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I use it locally.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

What sort of things do you want to do locally on your phone that you need the command line for?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Simple terminal applications like ping or curl or yt-dlp. I also like using python -m http.server to access my files over the local internet. w3m sometimes works when my mobile data is very slow and can't load web pages. I also do use ssh a lot. I don't need it if I have an ssh app but it is nice to have, and I switched to android for it.
