spiderbot posted:On phonechat, has anyone got experience with the fairphone? I like the idea of something that's designed to be user upgradable/ fixable, but I'm not sure how well that actually works in practice and it's a bit pricey to take a gamble on. My wife had a FP2. It had a lot of issues which were hard to resolve. They are now on the FP3, which makes the claim of modularity to allow for upgrading somewhat hollow: if the idea is for the phone to be upgradable then why launch a new model (without as far as I know selling upgraded components for the prior models)? It’s a good idea but badly executed. I also think that for the price they are under-specced.

Tesseraction posted:Yeah REF is the new name of the BREXIT Party. Not to be confused with the #REF party, who are just very bad at Excel also I got a fairphone 3+ a couple of weeks back in a desperate attempt to make the world slightly less bad through purchasing decisions. it works as a phone. it is a bit big. if you have recently started wearing women's trousers like myself then you will maybe have some issues fitting it into a pocket. i haven't used it for a whole lot yet though. this is not a helpful review. e: being under-specced for the price is kinda the point though, you're going to pay more for it on account of (supposedly) more ethical working conditions/materials etc.

Having the privilege of choosing to avoid exploitative products isn't universal and you shouldn't feel morally culpable for an unjust system stopping you from doing so.

with longer software updates it should in theory last longer than other phones of its specs, leading to a kind of Vimes' Boots Theory for ethical purchasing which is a good chunk of the problem with relying on every individual making good purchasing decisions to solve the world in the first place

Yeah they used dogs on protesters on one road and horses on the other. Seen at least one arrest with batons used (on stream). Completely peaceful apart from half dozen eggs until the cops started having a go at the protesters.

It's one of those things that on one hand I ought to personally support from a tinkering basis and for supporting smaller repair outfits, will probably be good in the long run if it means an actually enforced end to planned obsolescence, but also may end up increasing initial prices without any way of helping people who would most benefit from them to afford them, and with the current government might end up as a play to the "I remember when you could repair all your stuff" rural Tory crowd without any control for "in your day there weren't microwave ovens that needed a 2100V capacitor changing on them."

Nothing even comparing to Tuesday yet Subject Access and TyrantFinder on Youtube, don't know the timestamp but SubjectAccess was up on an embankment and right by the arrest when they stuck him. About half an hour ago now. Hopefully there's less injuries than Tuesday, there was a lot of edge of the shield action at the start. namesake fucked around with this message at 00:09 on Mar 27, 2021 |

The smartphone in expanse is so utterly critical to even existing in that world its on the same line as water and shelter. Struct me as amazingly prescient, and slightly horrifying?

So the crew are handing out, in order, bottles of water, blankets, smartphones. Smart phones have been important in Africa for at least a decade. Building the infrastructure for mobile phones is much cheaper and quicker than that for landlines and wire-based internet (can't think of the technical term just now!). Also, they have been a lot more advanced in sending money via mobile phones than over here. A decade ago you could transfer credit or part of your data allowance to other phones and at least 8 years since you could transfer funds by mobile phone. In Egypt they also have this great service where if you are going to be away from home for a week or so, you can suspend your internet service (and paying for it!) for the duration!

Completely unrelated to that, two separate comments at work about staff vaccines and public-facing services, and now I'm getting wound up over hypothetical arguments.

Yeah, there's a not-insignificant portion of the English electorate that really wishes Scotland would just piss off, stop whining and cease being a Caledonian ball and chain weighing down glorious Albion. And these are exactly the sort of people who were really for Brexit, really against lockdowns, really against BLM and so on. Basically the entire constituency for Farage's grift vehicles. And it's a a sentiment which might well increase when Brexit fails to deliver us to the sunlit uplands they were promised...it's got to be someone else's fault, why not the idle, scrounging Scots who Never Even Believed In Brexit?

From past experience, there's definitely a gammon contingent who hate Scotland and its people and everything to do with it except whiskey, but they would boil their own piss with rage if it became independent because all the oil and fish up there really belongs to us Eng-er-lish and those Jock bastards do wot we tell 'em!
