Gibts irgendwo ne Aufstellung wie sich die Kosten zusammensetzen? Ich hab den Eindruck alle jammern die Preise gehen hoch, aber wo genau das Geld hinfließt wird kaum angesprochen. Big Drehspieß? Tausend kleine Posten? Was ganz anderes?

Xiran Jay Zhao is posting about this on their Instagram a lot, which gives an insight into this from the POV of a Chinese person.

Welcome to the real world Neo. Don't take the pill with 777 permissions btw.

I don't get it. People are working for free to add a feature to your product which might move more people to buy said product. Make users who use external features acknowledge some waiver that your company is not responsible for damage. If it turns out to be really good, you can fork it, hire the original inventor and turn it into a paid product. Isn't that a risk-free win? Am I missing something?

I bought the FP3, then upgraded it to an FP3+ when the camera broke. Never had as much fun with a phone before or since. It has been my daily driver for years and it did everything well enough, if a bit slow. My friends either get new phones or use them despite visible damage because they can't fix them. Now I ordered the FP5 to have the 3+ as a backup and test setup and I am confident I will use the FP5 for 3-6 years again :)

Fairphones are like an odd car: There are sleeker, faster, cheaper and maybe just better alternatives around. However you still like it and just learn where to hit it with a hammer when it starts making funny noises. If you can afford it and like odd devices, it's for you.

Star Trek: Picard, when the Borg wake up and the Romulans just vacuum them out. In that moment the Cube should have automatically teleported them back inside. If the teleporters were down for some reason, the remaining Drones would just happily continue working in hard vacuum and proceed to assimilate the shit out of the Romulans. What happened was an uncalled for nerf of the Borg.

Remember people: Most alternative browsers are chormium under the hood! Not Firefox though :)

Along with search and many other things. Probably most of theur devs are optimizing user distraction and ad click rate, instead of... basic functionality 😐

Removal of all benefits of civilization to... own the libs?

I'm doing my part!

Is there a fediverse alternative yet?

Also, if you are a technical person I urge you to start a blog where you document problems you solve. It's a great ressource for others and a resumé for you.
