I can’t keep up with all the various instance wars/feuds but they are amusing nonetheless.

and accusations of everyone being a communist / not communist / slightly communist / whatever else seems to get thrown around on Lemmy.

So true lol

The earlier flips were even better in this respect because the outer screen was so small it basically only functioned as a clock and notification panel. It’s kind of a shame that style hasn’t been retained by at least one manufacturer.

It’s no different to any other screen in that respect. Just stop dropping your phone, or if you really can’t do that use a case and a screen protector.

I doubt that, to be honest. People will look for any excuse to avoid spending more on the basis of ethics. The usual one with Fairphone is “well they removed the headphone jack so therefore the entire operation is clearly an advanced greenwashing scheme”.

Not to mention the very legitimate excuse that Fairphone is still yet to support many countries outside of Europe. It is too big a risk for many when every generation to date has experienced isolated technical issues that require direct support from Fairphone to resolve.

They’re also a “menace” because many people actively feed them. It’s the same as ducks following people around expecting bread.

There are none on the level of Fairphone. Sony has seen fairly consistent support for its devices over the years and has retained features like the headphone jack and SD card slot, so may be a decent alternative to look into.

Yeah that was the joke. I guess it hit too close to home for some lol

DeX was first released in 2017.
