Yeah thats fair enough. Exceptions can be made for work lol.

A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON

Imagine using Windows 😤😤

$ Flatpak install Firefox

That is fucking crazy. That is basically two orders of magnitudes less than many other social media apps while still having most of the same functions.

Absolutely crazy to me lol

Low to medium graphics settings, 60fps @ 720p or 30fps @ 800p.

Anything in that range or higher and I'm happy

Does it have 3.5mm Headphone jack?

Does it have FM Radio support

Will it be supported for 5+ years

Those are the only features I want beyond the usual repairable, replaceable, FairTrade parts etc.

Also a shutter on the selfie camera or having the option to put a cover on it. The Fairphone 3 has a top bezel that allows enough space to get those cheap sliding camera covers on Amazon. The Fairphone 4 not having that is slightly annoying IMO. I do hope the 5 addresses this. Either bring back the upper bezel (which they won't) or have a physical shutter built in like how some webcams have.

Minor grievances tbf but still

As far as I know, the Fairphone 4 also has analog audio via USB C.

Cracking since before I was 10 lol

Both for me I cancontinuously make a cracking sound with ankle if I twist my foot around in a circular motion. My knees only crack every few minutes though if I bend down and stand up again

Halo's Forerunners

TES' Dwarven ruins

Assassins Creed's First Civilization

All spring to mind

Also Star Wars' Zeffo / Zeffonians

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

Access to open source, end to end encrypted technology. Particularly for messaging/ communication.

The camera on the Fairphone 3 is only okay. But there is an upgraded camera module you can buy from Fairphone.

I'm not much of a photographer so it doesn't bother me. But if you take a lot of pictures, it's something to keep in mind.

The picture has Centra brand products. Centra is a chain of Irish convenience stores with a bunch of own brand products.

Also OP mentions being Irish on their profile

Hello fellow Irish Lemmy user

'I gotta plan Arthur'

Vanity, marketing and buying shit unnecessarily.

I have a Fairphone 3 that I got in January 2020. Its a great device. I want to using it daily for between 5 to 10 years. And I have no doubt it will do that.

Meanwhile my brother has bought 3 Samsung devices in that time. And each one still works fine. He doesn't need a new phone each time but he will still insist on it.

Teslas build quality has been hit or miss since they came on the market.

I will always respect them for showing people that electric cars can be viable and fun. But nowadays, I would never bring myself to buy one knowing that some of the profit is going towards that fucking imbicile who owns twitter.

While I'm not looking to get a new car rn. Down the road I'd like to consider something like a Toyota BZ4X. The first gen has a few issues that need to be ironed out. But a few years from now, I reckon itl be a great option

That or something like it from Honda. Those two brands are who I trust most in terms of reliablity and build quality if I'm going to make an investment in a new kind of car, I want it to be them.

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

Anyone else think the logo for Fennec is better than Firefox

Me unironically lmao

Sorry, yes I couldnt think of the word.

Happy to help 👍

Its a great word imo lol

Worked support for an electricity supplier. I was able to see a frightening amount of info about the customers. Even past ones who had moved elsewhere.

We also kept notes about each call, email, web or app chat. So if you were an asshole in the past, everyone will know going forward.

Also fuck landlords and landladies etc. More often than not, they were shitty to deal with.

Also we would often use Google Maps and Streetview to see what your house looked like. We also had pictures of the inside because the installation techs took pictures to confirm that works were completed as specified.

Alll of this was available to us for any reason, at any time with no oversight. And none of it was encrypted. There was also government websites in use up to 2020 that required internet explorer to use and had passwords as trivial as 'Password1'.

I left that job because the pay was lousy and the stress was pretty full on. I respected a lot of people that worked there. Both higher ups and people who came after me. But fuck was there a lot of potential for bad actors or like stalkers etc to mess with your info.

I would reccomend to everyone. Please use password managers. Especially decent open source ones like Bitwarden. Take note of every piece of info that you give a company. From your phone number, address, email etc to even when you contacted them. Also try to not have your home look like an abandoned hovel on Streetview lol. Easier said than done I know. But it may affect your dealings with support people that you need help from. And lastly, please dont use Password1 as a login. Ever. Like please.

I'm going to assume you are not a troll lol.

Its a frame from Indiana Jones. A movie about an American archeology professor exploring places for ancient artifacts.

In the first movie, he is searching for the Holy Grail but is also fighting a bunch of actual Nazis.

The joke here is that Indiana Jones is an actual professor in these movies. In real life, college professors tend to lean politically left.

Meanwhile, hes beating the shit out of a Nazi. Modern day Nazis adore Donald Trump and so obviously lean far right.

So Indiana Jones beating up a Nazi is like a leftie professor beating up and an Alt Right Trump supporter.

Its not funny since I have to explain it now. But on the 0.01% chance you are not a troll, at least now you know

I mean fuck violence, but also fuck trump supporters lol

Also .ml , .ee and .one

And not pooping

"Can we have something like multireddits please"

"Can someone explain how the Fediverse works"

"I'm making a new Lemmy app"

"I miss Apollo"

PS, I dont mean this in a bad way. I love Lemmy and it is hugely encouraging to see so many people use it. I'm just poking fun at trends I'm seeing emerge.

You can use adb to uninstall those kinds of baked in apps. Its completely fucked up that you need to though.

"I gUeSs IlL use ThReAdS. WhAts ThE hArM" /s

I wonder will future generations in the north ever have regrets about this kind of behavior.

Well how's things

I know. You'd have to wonder like. Its not a good look for the GAA either

I'm sure Meta's lawyers are shaking in their boots lol

How you finding Lemmy?
