I did, I use Lawnchair.

Which is alright. It's their project after all. I find myself very happy from my Murena Fairphone (except the launcher, which I hate), so I'll probably be a good Fairphone/Murena client for the years to come.

That's fair. We all have our needs, and I find mine in Fairphone + e/OS, which is nice. And when I upgrade, I get to give my parents an almost new, still supported phone, which is nice.

Low-range, yes. Mid-range, no. As soon as you get de decent quality camera, given you know how to use it, you'll always get better result than smartphones.

I'm not that much into photos, so I can't really judge. In my book, it is OK.

If you want to get good pictures, nothing will ever beat a dedicated camera, even a mid-range one is way better than a smartphone, even an high-end one, due to the size limitations.

Some of those requirements are really hard to get for non-Google devices. EOM don't get updates as early as Google engineers gets. It takes time to validate everything, especially since their don't control their own hardware.

Those requirements are more a way to not appear like dicks by telling that they'll only supports Pixels.

With unofficial parts you can get anything, from very good parts to outright dangerous ones (especially batteries).

The problem with IPhone is their association system (which is illegal in the EU BTW). Understandable with those dangerous part on the market, but far too overcharging. They could just warn you during boot or something like that.

As for the software wall, it is where Fairphones shines. Even when the official support ends, the custom ROMs keeps updating for a while. IPhones are great on that aspect too, Samsungs are OK, but can't say for other brands.

The choice of only supporting Pixels comes from GrapheneOS's side, not Fairphone. Fairphone got some great ROMs support, and even have an official partnership with one of them (e/OS).

First party spare parts or third party sketchy spare parts?

Spare part availability comes partly from the popularity of a phone, and iPhones were pretty popular.
Fairphone is just starting to get some steam, so third party spare part may start appearing in the future. same for used parts.

Fairphones got a lot better lately. I got both the 4, 5, and now gen 6, and the latest one feels like a good phone, unless the FP4 which is a brick in comparison. Still lacks several Flagship feature (wireless charging, amongs other), but as a mid-range phone it is quite good.

And the repeatability is great. I repaired my FP4 once (usb-c port), and it was easy as heck.

[–] Dremor@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Probably both. I wouldn't even be surprised if he was a double-agent.

Surprise: another narcissistic sociopath. Themself in power because if other narcissistic asshole. You can go quite far like that, but will always end up with masses that vote for parties as if they were the local baseball team.

But once you'll br affected by a bug you may not like it as much. I reported a bug many months ago about being unable to download or visualize image from Nextcloud, and I'm yet to see any reply on my report.

 

Hi friends,

I’m calling to urge [company name] to immediately end the policy that unfairly targets the adult content industry. I’m also asking that [company name] sit down with stakeholders- specifically sex workers and adult content creators- to develop solutions that ensure equitable access to financial services, create stability, and reduce harm for sex workers.

I mostly used /e/os, so no slow charging, nor battery limit (until recently). I'm still leaning toward upgrading to the FP6 (still hesitating), this phone will either become my rom testbed, or my mother phone once hers die.

This an an interview with Ross Scott and Steve from the GNCA - GamersNexus Consumer Advocacy side channel.

"We got together with Ross Scott of Accursed Farms to discuss the Stop Killing Games initiative that he is presently spearheading. The Stop Killing Games initiative aims to preserve games in a reasonably playable state even after the game's publishers and/or developers abandon it, helping ensure consumers keep some level of what they have paid for rather than having all access revoked and the game destroyed."
