I often played with the thought of buying a fair phone, but in the end it’s just too expensive for me. I usually buy used devices for about 150€ from eBay and flash a custom ROM to get rid of google. If I can use that phone for 3 years I am happy. This way I am doing something for the environment and do not support mining of critical minerals in Congo etc.
But yeah, apart from Fair phone almost all devices are very, very hard to repair on purpose, and you need a lot of tools and a but of luck ;)

Happy cake day!

I just changed the USB port of my Motorola because it was broken AF. I always had to tweak around for 5 minutes to get the cable stable enough for loading, it sucked. I bought the spare part for 17,90€ on eBay. It was a struggle removing the back cover, but now I have a mobile for another 2 years!

When I left university, which is like 6 years ago, we used distilled water. As tap water does not usually have a pH of 7 but can vary between 6.5 and 9 (depending on location), it makes absolutely no sense for me to use it for rinsing. However this may depend on your device and application, as for household level like measuring plant water or something tap water could be sufficient.

jesus install Firefox then smh

I am pretty sure you can install BPC from file using both these alternatives.

Edit: Here is how.

That’s not true. I am using BPC on Fennec, Android.

I used eternity for a long while, but it is buggy and development is slow (if not dead?). So I switched to the Voyager android app and never looked back.

I read about this tbh

Your own instance. But don’t complain if you get defederated

I don’t think you can get enough volunteer moderators for this…

As a German beer drinker I can say: fuck the Reinheitsgebot. It’s just an old law to patronize the citizen. It’s not about protection against chemicals, just take look at Radler (Beer mixed with lemon soda) for example, plenty of artificial sweeteners and E additives are allowed.

Belgium has a wonderful selection of beers of different flavors. If somebody doesn’t want to taste a nice cherry beer, don’t do it. I don’t need an authority to watch over the beer I drink.

The stock market is crazy and it doesn’t always act rational. Now that I said this, I think the reason is more a question of Chinese vs US technical superiority. In theory, China has no access to the high technology AI chips from NVIDIA, due to sanctions. This must mean that Deepseek was developed with cheaper chips, and NVIDIA chips are not necessary for training LLMs.

The same as I live - I just hope people say about me that I am a good guy who is nice to people. I would like to be remembered as a person who gives more than he takes.

Hmmm
