This is a nearly ideal pocket computer design. Wonder if it will actually pan out.

Welp, I posted about the refusal of service nonsense on the Fairphone forums and all I got was sycophants and bootlickers telling me that ackhsually I'm ridiculous for... not having asked the guy I bought the phone from for proof of purchase?

Because apparently it's "irresponsible" to not make sure you're not buying a stolen phone by asking for a piece of paper with another person's personally identifiable information it?

tbh now I'm *really* soured on Fairphone and I'm going to recommend against dealing with them. Which legitimately sucks, they make the closest-to-ethical phones you can buy, but if you even dare to buy one used they'll refuse to fix your phone unless you have someone else's documents on your hands and you'll be berated by sycophants online.

Bleh. Now I *really* have no idea what phone I should get, I was still gonna get a FP4 before I saw the response but yeah fuck that

#Fairphone just to make this more visible 🥲️

Hint:

Telling people who face oppression, discrimination, and marginalization that things aren't as bad as they think they are is *NOT* helpful.

You are also probably wrong. The people targeted by hate have a better understanding of risk and what their situation is. We fucking live it.

The thing that drives me nutso about climate change is that many of the necessary changes could be awesome. A society with more leisure time, cleaner air, closer connections to friends and family who live nearer to you, more exercise, more technological innovation, more jobs, more fairness, more nature… most people would benefit from these changes.

If you don't run windows, it's probably a good idea to remove "Microsoft Windows Production PCA 2011" from db, to decrease bootloader attack surface.

If you do run windows, tell MS that they need to revoke (checks notes) um, all of their bootloaders. Wait a second...

im consistently surprised by how terrible people are at taking photos of their camera lenses for second hand listings... like... you're a photographer... this is like, your thing

I never transport cursed stuff by international public transport. Never.

This hand truck (and the backpack) transport a total 70 CPU cores.

Hey, it's me again sharing some GR news from time to time! (sorry)
Everyday it gets more and more surreal living in this country.

Our grief becomes rage as more details are getting known about the train collision near Larissa, on the country's most commonly used route.

ETR 740s, a degraded railway system+more. We learned that there is no telematics/electronic system checking routes etc. Everything is still manual in 2023. The railway workers were demonstrating for years for this to be fixed. The public didn't know.

The company, in a tragic try of damage control, is still not releasing the official number of passengers, after 3 days, while relatives are searching the hospitals to see if their missing child is there or not. Not to talk about the ones who have no one to claim them.

The government is trying to cover their members responsible for the degradation who lead to this, of course, corruption. Elections are soon.

Demos everyday in many cities. We hate it here.

Something I don't understand is the impulse to go "oh no they got me, i anthropomorphized the computer" because they caught themselves going "thank you" when it helped them

Like i guess but it's not in a harmful way imo. If the extent of it is "when something presents itself to me like it's sentient i'm polite out of habit", that just means you have a good habit
