FrankTheHealer@lemmy.mlto Fairphone@lemmy.ml•Fairphone 5's key specs revealed by Geekbench51·2 years agoDoes it have 3.5mm Headphone jack?
Does it have FM Radio support
Will it be supported for 5+ years
Those are the only features I want beyond the usual repairable, replaceable, FairTrade parts etc.
Also a shutter on the selfie camera or having the option to put a cover on it. The Fairphone 3 has a top bezel that allows enough space to get those cheap sliding camera covers on Amazon. The Fairphone 4 not having that is slightly annoying IMO. I do hope the 5 addresses this. Either bring back the upper bezel (which they won’t) or have a physical shutter built in like how some webcams have.
Minor grievances tbf but still

Cracking since before I was 10 lol
Both for me I cancontinuously make a cracking sound with ankle if I twist my foot around in a circular motion. My knees only crack every few minutes though if I bend down and stand up again

TES’ Dwarven ruins
Assassins Creed’s First Civilization
All spring to mind
Also Star Wars’ Zeffo / Zeffonians
Cool to see.
I am curious though, does Slackware do anything that other Distros can’t?
Is there a reason to choose it over say Debian or Fedora aside from it being around for so long and the nostalgia factor
FrankTheHealer@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the point of buying new phones every years?1·2 years agoThe camera on the Fairphone 3 is only okay. But there is an upgraded camera module you can buy from Fairphone.
I’m not much of a photographer so it doesn’t bother me. But if you take a lot of pictures, it’s something to keep in mind.

I have a Fairphone 3 that I got in January 2020. Its a great device. I want to using it daily for between 5 to 10 years. And I have no doubt it will do that.
Meanwhile my brother has bought 3 Samsung devices in that time. And each one still works fine. He doesn’t need a new phone each time but he will still insist on it.

FrankTheHealer@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•Fairphone 3 gets 7 years of updates, besting every other Android OEM2·2 years agoIve been using my Fairphone 3 every single day since January 2020. I did have a vibration motor wear out, but its replaceable so its fine. My battery is a bit iffy now. According to a battery scan app I use, its at 63% health. I’ll be replacing that soon too since sometimes it will only charge up to a certain point etc. Still though, on any other phone, that would be a deal breaker, but since I can order a replacemt battery for like 25€, its not an issue.
Only other issue I have is sometimes the screen experiences ghost touches, where it will register a touch on the screen even when I’m not using it. Again, this will be fixed with a replacement later on.
I love my Fairphone and I strongly reccomend it for its repairablity alone. The sustainability and FairTrade aspects are just a bonus IMO.
FrankTheHealer@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•Fairphone 3 gets 7 years of updates, besting every other Android OEM60·2 years agoI bought my Fairphone 3 at the start of 2020. I love it. I love the fact I can dissamble it with the provided screwdriver in two minutes.
I love that I can buy replacement parts for it if anything breaks without having to get some kind of expensive repair from Apple or Samsung. Ive replaced the charging port on this phone and I’ll be replacing the battery soon too. Giving people the ability to fix and maintain their own devices is fantastic.
I am hoping to get a decade out of this device and I’m nearing 4 years with no complaints so far. I’m a little bit dissapointed they got rid of the headphone jack on the Fairphone 4. While you can get adapters etc, it shouldn’t be necessary imo. That alone is my biggest gripe with that device. Aside from that though, they make great devices and I highly reccomend them
Anyone else think the logo for Fennec is better than Firefox

FrankTheHealer@lemmy.mlto Memes@lemmy.ml•It feels like the early days of the internet!!!!61·2 years agoSorry, yes I couldnt think of the word.
I’m going to assume you are not a troll lol.
Its a frame from Indiana Jones. A movie about an American archeology professor exploring places for ancient artifacts.
In the first movie, he is searching for the Holy Grail but is also fighting a bunch of actual Nazis.
The joke here is that Indiana Jones is an actual professor in these movies. In real life, college professors tend to lean politically left.
Meanwhile, hes beating the shit out of a Nazi. Modern day Nazis adore Donald Trump and so obviously lean far right.
So Indiana Jones beating up a Nazi is like a leftie professor beating up and an Alt Right Trump supporter.
Its not funny since I have to explain it now. But on the 0.01% chance you are not a troll, at least now you know
Yeah thats fair enough. Exceptions can be made for work lol.
