  • Ah, another post on a great new addition to the Fairphone lineup, another post where the top comments are complaining about because there is no headphone jack, they won't consider it.

    Y'all seriously have your priorities messed up if that's what keeps you from supporting Fairphone. If having a device with a headphone jack is that important to you, invest in a dedicated audio player. You can get some with high quality DAC's and more. But seriously, y'all need to cope about the Fairphone not having a single feature you want being a total deal breaker. That's honestly petty...

  • I'm honestly surprised GOS hasn't supported the FP yet. CalyxOS has for about a year or so now, and I imagine they'll support the FP 5 too.

  • Yeah, I hope the FP5 will come to the US officially too. I know the FP4 could work here, but it apparently did have issues with a carrier or two, or something.

    Hopefully the 5 will bring true support for US markets.

  • Fairphone brings a much better device to market with better cameras, a better screen, likely a better chip, open hardware specifications and modularity, a completely unlockable bootloader (with likely support for CalyxOS and other ROM's shortly), and up to 8 years of software support(!), but people say they won't get it because no headphone jack...

    MFW people have their priorities extremely mixed up... That's been the world now for 6 years, it's time to get over it. Letting perfect be the enemy of good is how you decide to throwaway something as good as what Fairphone seems to be offering. Sony still offers Android devices with headphone jacks, just don't be upset if you don't get another Android version pushed to your device.

  • It's honestly remarkable how few people in the comments here seem to get the joke.

    Never stop dissecting things, y'all.

  • Because it's just a proxy for Bing, with all the pitfalls of that.

  • Lots of that going around for stuff like this.

  • Imagine if someone had said something like this about the 1st generation iPhone... Oh wait, that did happen and his name was Steve Ballmer.

  • May want to lock this community here so people move over to the correctly named one.

  • Huh, this might be one of the few examples of "don't break userspace" not being held to by Linus and co? I'm sure stuff like this has happened before, but "don't break userspace" has been a fairly strong guiding principle for the kernel for sometime. So seeing something like this happen is actually a bit surprising.

    Though I guess it could be argued that if the removal of fTPM causes fewer bugs/issues than leaving it in place then userspace wasn't broken. But still, it's interesting to see regardless.

  • Good bot!

    Also, I'd argue this is a good step forward for Suse, as it will take a lot of shareholder pressure off of them.

  • Lol, well that might be a challenge to some, but yes you are generally correct! xD

  • Probably because it is... Cannabis smoke isn't that healthy overall, but it's found to be safer than Tobacco smoke is at least. It doesn't carry nearly the carcinogenic risks of tobacco, and afaik, it doesn't carry the same risks for COPD, chronic bronchitis, etc. Though longer term studies would be needed for those to get real data to know for sure.

  • Well, by that logic, if they shut down, the the next largest will be targeted, and then the next largest, etc. That's not a winning game for anyone involved...

  • I mean, that could happen to any other Lemmy instance too, unfortunately. And even if you do decentralize, a server going down still deprives the rest of us of that content, so it's never not going to cause some issues. So I wouldn't hold this against Lemmy.world.

  • Yeah, Nick Merrill is an awesome guy, and I really like what he's done with CalyxOS as well. Community is great too, if you need any help, just ask and someone will definitely be able to help out.

  • They said themselves the issue isn't signups or server capacity, it's that they've been under multiple rounds of DDoS attacks.

  • Option 1 and option 2 are closed source. Option 3 is open source under the AGPL license.

    See why you're wrong? Deal with it, the dev for Infinity for Lemmy has already said he's looking for a new name anyways. Go to the thread for suggestions and add your own thoughts for a new name there.
