Hmm... I might have to look into the WhatsApp issue as I still need it for work, friends and family (not my choice). Do you think it makes any difference if the bootloader is still locked? I think /e/OS devices from FP come locked.

Thanks for the info. I use Linux as my daily driver on my PC so I'm used to accepting a nonzero level of discomfort! :)

Yes. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth buying a model that comes with /e/OS pre-installed or if it's better to stick with Android.

 

I recently got an e-mail from Fairphone that they will be ending support for Fairphone 3(+) in a couple of months and I'm thinking about getting a replacement with /e/OS installed on it instead of Android.

All the independent information I can find seems to be from two or three years ago, so I was wondering if anyone with recent experience or knowledge has any thoughts about it?

I'm not interested in recommendations for other operating systems as I'm only considering switching from Android because there is an option for it to come pre-installed on the latest Fairphone with the bootloader locked, which may solve a few headaches. I'd just like to know if /e/OS has any gotchas to be aware of and if Ecorp/Esolutions/Murena are considered to be reputable (i.e. they're not going to steal my data).

She is still at school and the article states that she has missed two weeks of classes already ahead of her final exams. There is a quote from the headteacher of her school stating “She is currently missing taught lessons across all subjects and is at risk of missing important assessments, including GCSE exams.” In this case it's not just 'framing' but an important detail.

Someone once said "don't let perfection be the enemy of good" ... or something like that.

Anyway, my point is it's good that this kind of stuff is starting to get into mainstream media, even if they don't go into as much detail as they could.

They might not have wanted to scare people off by giving them too much information all at once, especially things like the Fediverse which even lots of tech savvy people don't really understand.

It works fine for me. When you changed servers, did you also change countries? Sometimes all the servers in a country will claim I am connected when I can't access anything and changing to a different country fixes the problem.

Good spot! The image is exactly the same apart from the nut (which is also exactly the same shape).

I saw a post recommending Limo not too long ago. I've not used it but it has FOMOD and LOOT support.

This can also be achieved just by changing DuckDuckGo's settings using the menu in the top-right corner of the page and can turn off other things including adverts if you want to.

Describing volume dials as "retro" is setting a very low bar for what can be considered retro. Also, it should have been super obvious to car makers from the start that using a touchscreen for almost everything was a really bad idea! As others have pointed out, you need to be able to control the car without having to take your eyes off the road for more than a couple of seconds.

best-looking warship anywhere on the world’s oceans.

The enemy are going to be so stunned by it's beauty they won't shoot at it!

It took me way to long to figure out where I'd seen that "German" flag before!
