Sound more like you learned the hard way what "abusing the system" mean.

But, think about the capital...

The choice of only supporting Pixels comes from GrapheneOS's side, not Fairphone. Fairphone got some great ROMs support, and even have an official partnership with one of them (e/OS).

And suddenly 90% of both X, Facebook and Reddit fell silent.

On the other hand, they already sell it so high I ended up buying mine without RAM. I found 2x16Go for 125€ vs 180€ sold by Framework 😅. Same speed, but I can't compare CAS as Framework do not list them on their page.

Edit : some source claims DDR5 5600 C46 for those sold by Framework, which is the same as the ones I bought. So I consider myself lucky, despite the price hike (the same kit was 65-70€ last summer)

Hi there.

You probably expect some sort of brigading of some sort, or some ironic post to spite you or your values, but this is not. I don't share the provocations and general negativity that this new instance seems to have attracted.

I, for change, welcome you to the fediverse, in hope, maybe naive, that sharing a common ground would allow both of our community nembers to get out of our respective echo chambers and try to find our common values and get a better understanding of each other, rather than locking ourselves into our dogmas and differences.

Unfortunately, not everyone will share this goodwill, especially on a world as fractured as our is now, so I'll add a "good luck" handling all the stuff that are unfortunately coming your way, and hope you will not take it too badly.

We, on the left, have our share of tankies and idiots, and that's not going to change any time soon, but at least there are others that want to mend that broken world, even if it takes time.

Be well, stay kind, and good luck

A (French) leftist.

Removable batteries are coming back, as they become mandatory in the EU in 2027.
Or you can already get one with a Fairphone (which also has SD card slot).
As for the headphone jack, I'm afraid it won't come back. Bluetooth alternatives are far better these days (I got both, so I know from experience), and good adapters (like Apple one) are barely more than $10.

Hi friends,

There was many threads lately on that topic, and despite attempts at making all those threads follow the community rules, looks like it will be better to make a megathread in order to avoid drowning other topics under the constant updates about this.

You find bellow multiple sections, containing as much info as possible on every aspect of this topic, including the latest news (as well as older ones), and how to participate in fighting it (if you wish to).

The moderation, even if we do have our own personal opinion on the topic, will try to stay as neutral as possible, which mean all opinion (for or against) are welcome, as long as it respect the rules, especially rule 2.

As a special exception to rule 4, memes are welcome in the comment section, as I saw some good ones in various other topics, as soon as they respect rule 2.

I mostly used /e/os, so no slow charging, nor battery limit (until recently). I'm still leaning toward upgrading to the FP6 (still hesitating), this phone will either become my rom testbed, or my mother phone once hers die.

This an an interview with Ross Scott and Steve from the GNCA - GamersNexus Consumer Advocacy side channel.

⚠️⚠️ Sign here: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home ⚠️⚠️

"We got together with Ross Scott of Accursed Farms to discuss the Stop Killing Games initiative that he is presently spearheading. The Stop Killing Games initiative aims to preserve games in a reasonably playable state even after the game's publishers and/or developers abandon it, helping ensure consumers keep some level of what they have paid for rather than having all access revoked and the game destroyed."

If you are a citizen in the EU or UK, don't forget to sign the Stop Killing Games petition!

"Stop Killing Games" is a consumer movement started to challenge the legality of publishers destroying video games they have sold to customers. An increasing number of video games are sold effectively as goods - with no stated expiration date - but designed to be completely unplayable as soon as support from the publisher ends. This practice is a form of planned obsolescence and is not only detrimental to customers, but makes preservation effectively impossible. Furthermore, the legality of this practice is largely untested in many countries.

Over the past year, we have succesfully escalated complaints on this problem to consumer agencies in France, Germany, and Australia, and have brought forth petitions for new law on this problem to various countries. A list of the actions taken to date can be viewed here. As of 2025, most consumer action on this matter has concluded and we are awaiting decisions on it from several governments. However, there are a few remaining avenues left where people can participate if they are eligible!

Congratulations, you've earned it.

As always, @Road_Warrior_10@lemmy.world got the mods express authorization to promote his game as soon as his post are not meme and he does not excessively promote his game (aka spam it). One or two post a month are fine, as long as they are not direct link to his game with the text being copy-pasted from the Steam page.

Anyone wanting to do the same can DM the mods.

Congratulation, you are being upgraded. Please do not resist. And pay while we are at it.

It was at first, then they became a for profit organization, Xamarin, who was bought by Microsoft.

Problem is distance and autonomy.

You can't really command drones that far, they are programed with the coordinates, then launched. And to go far, you need to have more fuel, thus a heavier drone, which in turn will be easier to detect and target for AA systems.

It's a RISC they are not willing to take.

Tbh, maybe someone should try making an open-source dating app.

You know what, being a dev myself that's something I'll try as a hobby project. We'll see how it work out.
