I’m not sure as installed it on a brand new phone, sorry

Fuck man, as a father this hits hard. At first I thought how is he so chill, maybe this happens all the time. Then when the kid appears and is so distraught… shit

Pretty snappy. There’s no bloat at all and you’re in full control on what’s on there so it’s been quite nice. I haven’t noticed anything being slow. The default launcher is very like an iPhone but I would’ve always switched to lawnchair and put as many foss apps as I can for all the usual stuff so the experience day to day is very similar to my old phone at less than half the cost new.

Purely anecdotal but I accidentally fell into this during university when studying for final exams. 3 hours sleep at night, 3 hours in early afternoon. Was great and never felt better so tried to keep it after exams but it was just impossible. Once I got back to real life, it was impossible to keep such a rigid and inflexible system. I didn’t do it long enough to see any long term effects but just found it impossible to keep anyway so naturally reverted back to 7-8 hours overnight

Just bought a Fairphone 5 and installed /e/os myself through their adb script (they only had normal android ones in stock). So far, it works flawlessly and even managed to install my bank app. I haven’t tried wallet as don’t tend to use it. Everything else works and not missing the Samsung s22 ultra I moved from.

And in England (unless there’s an international football tournament)

Given that you can also export the vault in json, CSV and json (encrypted), it should not be too difficult to transfer to the new one. I have migrated from keepass to vaultwarden, then moved the vaultwarden between home servers without difficulty.

I backup vaultwarden locally and to borgbase, and managed to get my vault backup after simulating a crash. However in reality, the few times I have had actual problems with a connection while away from home, I made do with the local copies available on my phone, tablet and/or laptop. You can’t create new passwords if your Server is down but you have access to the client copy of existing passwords since it last synced. I don’t keep my email password on there so in one rare case I just created a new password to logon to something urgently.

My manager and a team mate had to go to the US for work earlier this week. They’re both British citizens but Indian heritage so was genuinely worried for them. Work made sure their papers were in order and they had local contacts just in case. It was “no more difficult than usual” (it’s always been hard for brown people coming in with “random” security checks). There is no way I would be going though, would flat out refuse.

One made it home but funnily enough the other is stuck in Vancouver on the connection as theres some fire in Heathrow. At least he’s out of the USA!

This, the limit on how much it could be, and the ban on charging any additional fees, absolute game changers! The changing them not being able to tax deduct mortgage payments has also changed behaviour. I mean, landlords are still a huge drain on society and rents are mental but these steps help

Checked the comments to mainly make sure nobody was recommending dyson so glad to see this comment! Plus, didn’t they move their HQ to Singapore so probably doesn’t count as UK based anyway? Either way they suck.

My Henry (built in the UK) is still going strong after lots of abuse and use

Afraid not, was just flicking through and saw Raleigh in the UK section, which I know a lot about as lived in the area of Nottingham it was once in. They offshored all their factories to cheaper Asian countries many years ago leaving just a small presence in the UK to sell and unpack the bikes. I can see only 130 UK staff (68 sales, 62 admin) so can’t imagine they build anything here.

When I get some time I’ll go through the list, at least the UK ones which I can find information about much more easily (our company data is open to all - not many countries have this)

Careful of their lists. Raleigh started in the UK but has no manufacturing plants there (as far as I can tell) and is owned by Accell Group BV, which is based in Netherlands. Still Europe but not sure you can trust these countries of origin

I love my Haibike, would definitely recommend.

Cant really talk about product quality but from a social perspective, which I can see pretty clearly given I have worked for a major Japanese conglomerate and spent a lot of time with Japanese “expats” across Europe, it’s very far behind Europe on social aspects.

There is a lot of misogyny, racism, hierarchy, classism and conservatism. Theres no recognition, acceptance or real change done in relation to the horrors carried out in WW2.

Part of the reason for their very low birth rate is their poor treatment of working women and extreme tough stance on immigration or refugees. Their working culture is horrendous generally.

Young people are pushing back and trying to change things so if it’s a small, modern company they may be OK. However, if you care for social issues then avoid the major conglomerates that run most of the economy.

On the plus side, they are very good at technical engineering and really care about their (Japanese) workers, which still have jobs for life.

Exactly, especially jobs where you don’t have to directly interact with customers or management while doing it. I loved stock room work for the same reason

Love the idea!

I was thinking about this last night. In wars we often issue war bonds and people go around asking everyone to contribute what they can. Why not reinvent this but concepts including co-operatives, employee councils, kickstarter, social awareness, community awareness, inclusion of minorities and socially disadvantaged people, etc.

How about a technology investment bond, or a direct investment fund into new enterprises to build these up.

Shame the rich to invest into them instead but we know that won’t work so let’s all invest so we don’t have to rely on them.

I know it’s politically challenging but I would happily invest my pension pot into companies to improve our European tech in a socially aware and fair system, than the current US stock market it’s half made up of (I will change this!). Hell, just give grants to the open source community to develop things and let everyone in the world benefit

I noticed the same and am all for combining. I struggle with the multiple same posts across similar communities.

We can have multiple European sources and people can choose their likes themselves. Want to avoid UK because of 5 eyes, go for it. Not sure about this Sweden law around E2EE, take it into account.

I voted remain in Brexit and despite not being in the EU I see myself as European. Some of us in the UK are acting just the same way to consider our relationship with the US, and in recent years, I have moved to European suppliers (e.g. mailbox.org).

Reminds me of the group limit attribute in nextcloud. You could try looking at the ‘Custom profile scope’ section of https://docs.goauthentik.io/integrations/services/nextcloud/ to see if it helps to work out what to do

Exactly. I’m already thinking about pulling my pension pot out of any US investments. It’s a tiny amount but maybe we can start a movement to keep pension investments in countries and systems you believe in, not whatever mix are typically used
