Wait what's blue can water?

Oh that's so frustrating

Out of curiosity what printer do you have? I didn't know there were compatibility issues with some printers

[–] KryptonNerd@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 days ago

Apparently it can be remapped

It's honestly such a solid phone, I love it. But it doesn't get security updates anymore which is a shame.

[–] KryptonNerd@slrpnk.net 3 points 4 days ago

Okay that's actually really cool

Or two USB C ports, I don't really mind using a USB to audio jack converter but it would be nice to be able to easily charge and listen to wired headphones at the same time

Unfortunately Graphene have said they will only use pixels (or potentially their own phone in the future) because no other phones have the Titan M2 security chip.

It's a shame though, because I'd love to have Graphene on it.

Yeah that is a shame honestly...

I think it's important to remember that the price is higher because they pay their factory workers a living wage and use a combination of recycled and fair materials.

It looks expensive because other phones are cheap, and other phones are cheap because they are exploiting people to make them.

I'm on an S10e with only 6GB of RAM and it's still running smoothly. If it was still getting security updates I would keep it for way longer, but alas it's not so I'm going to upgrade to the new fairphone (not thrilled about losing the headphone jack and getting a larger phone, but I support their overall goals so it seems like the best choice for me)

Not so sure about that... Looking at that page he seems pretty racist, homophobic, and sexist.

 

FarmBot is an open source project aimed at making CNC farming accessible to as many people as possible.

 

RepRap is a project about democratising and decentralising manufacturing through low-cost open source 3D printers.

3D printers give communities the ability to repair items even when official replacement parts don't exist. They also allow people to produce small runs of custom parts, where more traditional manufacturing methods may be wasteful.

There are obviously issues with sustainability in the 3D printing community, primarily with material source, material recycling/composting, and waste. But even with these current issues, 3D printers provide a lot of utility and may have a place in our solarpunk future.

Appropedia is a wiki dedicated to sustainability, including projects and research aimed at reducing poverty.

Amybo is a non-profit open source community project working on protein fermentation in an effort to reduce the carbon intensity of food production, as well as improve climate resilience as things like crop failures become more common.

The project is currently focussed on the low-cost distributed science aspect, but their website says they want biotechnologists, chefs, coders, creatives, engineers, enthusiasts, environmentalists, makers, medics, microbiologists, and nutritionists. So basically... Just lots of people.

They're still in the early stages but looks like a fun project to get involved in.
