Isn't it just a Mastodon instance?

I have had my fairphone 5 since October, and I am contempt content with it, ive noticed a few software bugs and made the customer support team aware about them and while I'll admit their responses are rather slow at times, ive never had a problem with attitude or unhelpfulness so far from them.

I will do what I can to genuinely keep this phone going until the security updates stop, being able to buy and replace the battery for a respectable 20 quid is incredible.

I'm also very excitied to see what 2027 brings as that is the year manufacturers are required, if they want to sell in the EU, to make their phones extremely repairable

Maybe with helldivers you can argue the cross play angle, but why require a PSN account for a single player game? Sony's also doing this with the new Until Dawn version which also is coming to steam.

YouTube Vanced got replaced by Revanced BTW, different team and not just an app you just download, you have to patch YouTube yourself, (similar to xmanager) but that isn't not too hard. The YouTube Revanced's Official discord can be found here

Casio Is GOD TIER

I still see the dislikes on Revanced and Libretube. Might just be a UI change on desktop.

Said this in a similar post, but the legislation doesnt prevent companies serializing their components, tying them to the software. Preventing completely independent repairs.

I'm writing this on a Fairphone 5 right now, the hardware is great, the only slight issue is the USB C Port is a little looser than I would like, not enough for a problem, alas.

The main issue currently is the software, there's a few well known bugs that cause annoyances that the Fairphone forum widely know about, one of which requires you to hold the power button down and force restart the phone. I am confident that the developers and customer support are aware of these bugs and are working to fix them.

Overall I'm happy with it, £700 isn't too bad for a phone that I'm going to try to keep for the whole 8 to 10 years that have promised security patches. Sure its doesn't have flagship specs, but no day to day tasks for me require that power.

Yep, mine still lasts 2 days if I push it, though Ive been plonking it on its puck every morning while I get up since I got it at launch, its only ever dropped below 20% a handful of times. Sure ive been charging it more than most, but it doesnt do full battery cycles per charge so its lasted longer

The concern with Session is that theyre based in Australia, a country that is in the 5 eyes, and their government passed a bill forces companies to provide a backdoor when ordered to, the company cannot deny to create this, and they can't declose that they got ordered to ether. [A great video talking about said bill] While the Session devs say their services are resilient to these threats, [see their FAQ] it's best to remain cautious.

Out of curiosity, will that atrocious "this device may not be supported" box FINALLY be dead? I haven't used an Apple device for a long time, but that was one of my biggest pet peeve.

Control + shift + down arrow key I think, it was the peak of comedy in our secondary school IT classes.

Damn words sounding the same

Still allows for Software blocks/serialization, but small, itty bitty victory I guess.

Nope, purely about the watch os

Speaking as someone who has no experience and is a professional with the law, this looks to me like a very very rare case where a defamation lawsuit might actually land.

Most defamation lawsuits fail because the acusser has to prove without a doubt the defendant lied to defame. Which with the phone call Christian has, should count as proof.

Interesting times ahead, if Christian goes through with it.

Is there any modern day android phones that work without the battery. I feel like they'd probably run POST checks to make sure there's a battery inside. Maybe fairphoness?

Honestly, its personal preference, there's different forks of each, base Firefox is good, if you want a more private fork try Fennec or Mull. With chromium the only two ive heard good privacy things about is Brave and Cromite (a fork of Bromite, a project that looks like it got discontinued as there hasn't been an update since last December). Honestly try both and see which you prefer.

Sorry, I just assumed you were asking about android specific apps. For Apple, Safari is decently private, Apples strong suit is that everyone knows Apple hate sharing things, so while you can't be sure about how much apple collects, you know they're not giving data to 3rd parties. For computer I'd say base Firefox, (or Librewolf if your okay with the lack of auto updating) or Brave.

As far as I know, not the same team, at least officially. Unlike vanced, they don't provide the app themselves, you have to build it yourself, but that isn't too hard. Your given the patches and the app that writes them patches to a stock version of YouTube downloaded on APKMirror, all that plus vanced MicroG and you got Revanced

:(

Saw an Elephant that was double the bricks standing at around 8 9 foot tall and a waist high zebra, impressive stuff

Ive got a Lego Mighty Bowser set, ITS SO DENCE, I can't imagine how they move some of their bigger sets

Yeah that got fixed a while back, and I also dont see home screen ads

All I remember was the elephant was around 140k bricks and took 600+ hours

:D

I've migrated from just using a gmail account to using Anonaddy which point towards a Tutanota email. The migration was PAINFUL, but glad I persisted and went through with it.

I've got a 2019 Kidle Oasis, I dont know if it has epub support but I use a piece of software called Calibre which can convert epubs to mobi which I think is Amazon's proprietary format. Haven't done it for a while now but I think there's a problem with book covers now? Not too sure.

Yes, instead of an app you install, you patch the app yourself using a separate app. Kinda like xmanager if you've used that before. I'd point you to their official reddit, but... yknow... Here's their official Discord https://discord.gg/revanced

😏

Certain WiiU and 3DS games have a link with Miiverse, Nintendo's Twitter before it closed 2017, you could post... posts from the game your playing when you beat a specific level or complete an achivement. You could also see and interact with other peoples posts ingame, in Super Mario 3D World for example you would see other players avatars on the world map, see their Miiverse posts and interact with them. It merged ingame worlds with Miiverse extremely well, making it feel like you were part of a tight not community Good Vibes Gaming did a very good video about Pretendo as a whole good watch if your interested
