  • Fairphone advertised itself as a long term upgradeable option, but the reality of it is that no one really keeps them longer than many other phones. They dropped pretty much any modular upgrade features they originally were shooting for.

    I don’t hate it or anything, but having 8 years of security updates in a phone that’s 2 years behind on an apu and only has 8GB of ram is a mixed bag of usefulness. It’s good, but you’re left paying $900 for a $400 phone, hardware wise.



  • About 5 million people is good. I was on Digg as it grew and became shit. I was on reddit as it grew and then became shit. Once the active user base goes over ten or fifteen million people, things start going down hill. Advertisers and bots and mods that can’t keep up and too much outside press and governments mentioning the platform with unwanted attention.

    Right now things are OK for general news and info, but not big enough for more unique communities. Like I can’t go to a community within lemmy to find another thousand+ people all about yo-yo’s, but reddit has r\throwers with over 40k subscribers so I can go this “stout guy” show me how to do a new trick.

    I’ve kinda been putting off switching to Linux until the steam OS goes to desktops more officially, since it’s pretty close to just being used as a gaming rig, but I’m running out of patience. I had Ubuntu for a while like 15 years ago.

    How are the drivers for a 1060 GPU?



  • I’m still on my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. People getting new phones every year or two do it because they want to, they don’t keep their phone in a case, or it got ran over or lost at sea or stolen.

    My phone is five years old. Five years from now there will be very few Faiphone six’s left in use. Why do you think they’re already on their sixth iteration of phone? Can you upgrade the Fairphone two and make it just as good as the six?

    It was after Jesus asked them to move it because he wanted to have his birthday party near the end of the year so people could have an extended holiday. It gave time for people to travel to his party without having to worry about getting right back to work.



  • You sound like you’re right handed and just happen to write with your left. Lol

    But really, your “definition” wouldn’t be ambidextrous. That’s for people who can do most tasks pretty much equally with either hand.

    You would be known as “cross dominant”. That’s where you’re better with one hand or the other, depending on what task it is.

    I’m a fairly standard lefty myself, Im able to do most things pretty well with my right hand, but mostly always best with my left.
