I wouldn't call criticism of their strategic focus "shitting on" Nextcloud. It obviously still does a lot of things right or at least right enough to be useful and relevant to many people, or else we wouldn't be discussing it. But it has its issues and many of them have been unadressed for a long time, so why shouldn't people voice their displeasure with that?

Other economic systems aren't exactly protective of the environment either though, so I don't really get your point.

It shows that these people are populist leeches that will agitate against whatever the perceived establishment is doing. They're just anti-everything, whatever gets them the most attention at any point in time: Anti-immigration, anti-LGBTQ, anti-vaccination, anti-Israel, you name it.

Also, we should equally not forget that Hamas and their Palestinian, Arab and Islamic supporters are perpetrating a genocide against Israel and the Jewish people.

I don't know of any high end Android phone manufacturer that promises security updates for >5 years. If you want to keep your phone that long or even longer, there are few choices unless you want to be vulnerable.

Also, I have no idea what exactly "more durable" is supposed to mean, but I'm very much certain that Apple's and Samsung's batteries degrade the same and their screens also crack when dropped. A replacement part and the repair will be significantly cheaper with FairPhone, especially for people who don't want or dare to do it themselves because of anti-repair measures by the manufacturers.

For reference, a replacement screen for FP5 costs 100€ and comes with straightforward instructions from the manufacturer. An Apple screen replacement will cost you 340€ and there are no official ways to get replacement parts or do the repair yourself. You have to pay half a FP5's worth just for an iPhone screen repair.

Edit: Spelling correction

No problem. One more tip though: If you ever censor your public IP, don't just censor the last two digits. Otherwise it will be easily brute-forced.

Yeah, microplastics seem to be overlooked too often when people talk about plastic recycling "solutions". The worst one I've ever seen was a video where they cut a plastic bottle into strands and then made a broom out of them...

I'm guessing they mean microSD and would like to use it for additional storage

Publishing everything on a blockchain means that everybody who’s running a node has access to a copy

I'm not sure that's the case, although the article is rather vague. It says:

[...] the user must register with a node of their choice using their public key. Once registered, users can create channels and invite others to join. Each channel has a separate ledger hosted by the nodes. [...] The data in the ledgers are encrypted, and the secret key is managed by the users of the channel.

IIUC, nodes will not have access to private keys, neither those from users nor those from channels. Users could use their keys to exchange the channel's private key without the node getting to know it. I don't quite understand how user's would exchange their public keys without the node being able to play MITM, though...

Edit: Removed an irrelevant sentence from the quote

I’d rather developers don’t support Linux than make Electron application

Hard disagree. I'd rather run an Electron application than having to side-load Windows for some application I actually need. Also, you don't have to install Electron applications, so if you want you can just pretend they don't support Linux.

The EU has a larger population than the US, that's not a market you just leave. Also, Europe is not the same as the European Union.
