Lemmy devs are awesome. 1 more reason to use the platform.

I also noticed that. Not sure what it means but I found it funny :D

So Israel is a hell hole?

Ty for the tip! I only did a brief test but it seems to be working well.

I’d love normalization. Hope it works for movies where explosions are 10x louder than the dialogue.

This happened to me once, shortly after joining lemmy. I even took a screenshot as proof :) Glad somebody else can confirm it’s actually a thing.

Thanks for the suggestion. I already have an account there and use it from time to time, but I’m considering joining 1 or 2 more trackers if possible, just to have as backup.

Can’t believe it. And so “sudden” - though not really, they did give months of warning in advance, but I still wasn’t expecting it. My account is from October 2008 :)

It’s not a perfect tracker. Even this week I was mildly frustrated with a torrent that wasn’t seeded much, but it was good enough for me not to bother with many accounts anywhere else.

Don’t know where to go on next. Please leave suggestions if you know anybody taking in refugees :)

Not sure if joking or…? If you’re joking it went over my head :)

We all know companies are pushing for a return to offices but I expected more pushback from employees.
Luckily I have it in my contract that I am a remote worker and the company doesn’t even have an office in my city, so I’m safe, but still I’d like to see wfh become the new normal.

Yes how convenient. They opt out of a port worth cents but luckily they sell hundred dollars headphones with batteries in them. I already have wired pairs and don’t need any more.

Yes, because it doesn’t just “lack” it. They deliberately chose not to include such a simple thing so they can sell more shitty wireless headphones. I already have good wired ones, so no thank you. And I find this extremely anti-consumer and anti-sustainability.

The fact that they don’t include a headphone jack that’s been an audio standard for decades makes their claims of sustainability seem like marketing bs. And the argument that it’s to make the phones thinner is bs too, since most phones now are bricks compared to previous generations. It was all a ruse to sell crappy bluetooth headphones with recharcghable batteries that are going to wind up in a landfill.

Yeah bat infested cave is offensive to bats. They did nothing wrong, that’s their home. More like dog infested cave

Was not expecting Peep Show when clicking that link. Great show!

Would be great if it would actually be usable.

From what I’ve read from people owning it it’s unfit for any purpose at the moment and very few people actually use it as their main phone.

Pine64’s model of “we build the hardware, the community builds the software” doesn’t seem to be working very well unfortunately.

I wanted to get a Fairphone 4 until I saw I saw it didn’t have a headphone jack. Made me think all their “sustainable” mottos are just marketing.

Purism with their Librem phones took people’s money and didn’t send them the product so I didn’t want to chance it or support a company that does that.

So in the end I got a Pixel 7 instead and put Graphene OS on it. Not particularly happy but didn’t seem like there was a better choice.

Recently found out from a Louis Rossman video that the lead dev of Graphene has some mental health issues that don’t make him a very trustworthy individual. Supposedly he stepped down but he’s probably still contributing code.

Tl;dr: phones = bad

Good read. I also liked his recent interview with Adam Conover, came at just the right time with this wave of everything getting shitty.

I’m also in the “let them burn” camp, hoping that’s gonna bring more people to open source platforms like lemmy/mastodon/etc.

This is the kind of post we need around here :)

I suggest you do poop, your plan atm sounds cartoonishly stupid and likely to blow up in your face.

Do keep us posted though!
