Phone calls are broken on both the Fairphone 4 and 5. The Fairphone 4 has some issue where the microphone has really low gain so I had to almost scream and after the last update in April I just couldn’t make or receive calls any longer. It worked once I rebooted but after a few hours it stopped again. The Fairphone 5 developed a similar issue after the upgrade to Android 15, phone calls just stop working after a while.

Another ridiculous issue is that the background image of the Fairphone 5 keeps resetting to the default blue image.

I switched to a Pixel with GrapheneOS instead. This has its own little issues but at least phone calls work reliably on my phone.

Good maybe someone can now fix the half broken mess that is the Fairphone 5. After two Fairphones with buggy software, I am so done with them.

The safety data sheet says nothing about not drinking it…

People who are surprised by VC funded software going to shit…

Funniest thing I I’ve seen in ages.

Seriously, this always happens. At some point the investors want a huge payout and they will get it by exploiting existing users or they just shutdown the whole company and strip it for parts.

This is an interesting idea and from the looks of it well executed, but I am having trouble imagining a scenario were I would prefer to use Amber over a scripting language like Python. If your bash scripts are getting long enough to warrant the use of Amber you are probably already in a situation where you can justify installing Python.

Hey Google, did I give you permission to delete my entire D drive?

It’s almost as if letting an automated plagiarism machine execute arbitrary commands on your computer is a bad idea.

“Retarded take”

Your choice of words shows your true colors. You don’t like it when I call out your associates for what they are?

This isn’t purity testing, this is not giving money to fascist fucks who actually want to see me and my family dead.

They openly support fashtech like Hyperland and the “distro” Omarchy. In response to the well-justified backlash against this, founder Nirav Patel tried to hand wave the issue away by talking about how they want “a big tent" for open source”, completely ignoring the nazi cunts behind the projects they support.

If you want to know more details here a two articles:

• https://crimier.github.io/posts/Framework-Omarchy/
• https://gardinerbryant.com/the-omarchy-framework-thing/

Cool, but I don’t care how big Framework makes their tent. They will not see a cent from me.

If this ever happens I am going to put my soldering iron to good use and figure out a way to lobotomize my microwave.

The patent for the Cherry MX design finally expired in 2014. Since then, more and more Chinese companies have been producing switches that are also of comparable quality to Cherry’s.

Cherry is lagging behind its Far Eastern competitors in so-called Hall effect switches with magnetic fields.

Cherry benefited from high demand during the coronavirus pandemic, which has since subsided.

So it goes.

Why?

To show some backbone. Microsoft was involved in enough abominable things in the last years alone; any one of them is reason enough to boycott them for it.

Why are they doing business in Russia?

This isn’t even the worst of it. Now you have to dig through copious amounts of AI slop to find a real recipe. I just use classic recipe books instead. Some of them might be over a hundred years old but the recipes work.

I like and use GrapheneOS but this is sounds like the founders persecution complex acting up again. This isn’t the first time this has happened. The second you ask them for proof of any attack they will claim you are part of the attack. Apparently, they were triggered by some shitty french tabloid articles this time. I would wait for some more substantial info before rushing for the pitchforks.

I never heard of Techrights before, they seem rather unhinged, but I had a good laugh when I saw this article about Lunduke. Not even the floss fundamentalists like Lundukes flavor of racist Linux “journalism”.

The Pro edition is basically a donate button that gets you a few themes and applications that you can just as easily install from Flathub.
