FairPhone can run Postmarket OS, eOS, iodeos, calyxos and lineageos.

Some have longer support than others. Also you can buy separate parts for their phones and they are modular.

It might kill off the Democrats so then you will have two extreme right wing parties! What could go wrong?

Oh you were talking about social media. I was talking about music services.

Fair enough then. I agree there is no excuse to still use X

Doesnt calyxos also work on fairphone

So what is there for normies? YouTube which is also owned by a fascist company. Deezer which is shit. Apple which is another fascist company that supports trump. Tidal which has also had its fair share of controversy ( not paying artists), shit ui etc.

And if you mention the fediverse people will look at you like you speak an alien language.

What about people who already have a BT headset, or people who are looking to buy their first headset and don’t own one yet? You just straight up assume everyone still had a headset with wires lying around and that they somehow never break.

Having to buy something makes it bad isn’t really an argument. The very post you are making right now is made from a devide that has been manufactured at some point in time. If you start reasoning like that its better to start living in the woods with no possessions at all.

They are easily repairable and you don’t have to throw them away if the battery goes bad (just replace it).

How is that a bad thing? About 90% of other brands you can throw them away if the battery goes bad or they break.

Seeing how this post has 600 replies and I see a lot of activity in the past 6 months I feel Lemmy is doing pretty well as a reddit alternative.

I certainly don’t miss the amount of shitposting that reddit had. Literally every first post was some dumb joke that didn’t even made me chuckle…

Yes and? Do people who use X really care about privacy. Everyone who even remotely cared already jumped ship and moved on to matrix, signal, Simplex etc.

And im not even mentioning the fact X is owned by a psychopath. But hey let’s pretend they care about your privacy.

What about searxng?

I’ve been hearing more about it and you can apparently even self host it.

Fuji is great. I love my X-S20

Yeah lol… who the hell wants a nuclear power plant near their house?

Is it that hard to understand that people don’t want shit like nuclear power plants, coal plants, methane plants and garbage disposals being newly built near their home?

I live in one of the most crowded countries on earth and even here we have plenty of space where a powerplant wouldn’t be anywhere near a suburb. Or at least in a place where there is already a similar power plant/industry.

Obviously it’s a different situation if you build houses near a power plant that has been there for years.

Sadly I think most will just switch to bluesky so they can see the next disaster of enshittification unfold.

Also it doesn’t help most celebrities moved to bluesky as well. Then there is the fact you have to choose an instance on lemmy which scares most people away.

I hope lemmy gets traction…

I dont get why people visit it anymore. The censorship, gatekeeping and botposting is just absolutely bonkers.

Like okay, maybe if you only watch memes and cat pictures I can kinda understand. But every single sub I’ve been in had an idiotic amount of gatekeeping. Just mentioning grapheneos in some subs could get you banned. Just mentioning luigi mangione could get you banned. Oh your post is falsely flagged as inappropriate? Banned, and good luck trying to appeal.

It’s become an absolute dystopian shithole. Lemmy isn’t perfect but at least if the host of your instance goes insane you can leave for another. And if you don’t like what you see you can choose to block it.

Yeah. The countries that can choose to not do trade with America and not suffer too much because of it.

That’s basically Trumps politics, making people suffer. Imagine voting for someone just because you want others to have it worse than you do. Like there is nothing to gain and everyone loses.

It’s not even stupidity, it just pure hatred and disdain for other people that fuels MAGA.

“Some of you might die, but that’s the price I’m willing to pay for it”. Literally Shrek-like cartoon villainy.

No one (meaning less than 1% of people) will leave windows (sadly).

People are lazy as shit and rather swipe their credit cards and buy something new with windows than to even give Linux a chance.

99% of people really don’t give a shit about privacy or freedom when it comes to computers. Microsoft could slap handcuffs on them and point a camera at their screen (yes MS is already spying with telemetry, but try expaining that to a regular person) and they’d still use windows.

The rest of the world is not USA my man, my country has at least 10 political parties that go anywhere from progressive to conservative and being “right wing” can still mean they have ideas that support the environment or human rights.

We’re not all like the USA where you can choose between “the right” and the “ultra right” wing party.

There are right wing parties here that support Gretas ideas. And left wing parties that disagree with her.

I can completely understand her “both sides are bad” point since politics are wildly different in the EU from the US. We have actually choice here where as the US is just voting for the lesser evil (or the greater evil in case of Trump lol).

Yeah… I dont see this happening. Android has 99% shovelware crap. I dont see how any professional would be able to use Android instead of Windows, MacOS or Linux.

Android is garbage, and I’m saying this as an android user… The moment a serious Linux alternative is here for phones I’m gone (yes I’m aware Android is technically also “Linux”).

Just a few examples: the file system is a mess, good luck trying to easily save on network drives. There is no decent office suite and again using the files system to save documents in Android is a shitshow. There are Adobe products but they’re all watered down shitty versions of the desktop ones, the alternatives are even worse. Around every corner google tries to push it’s shitty cloud subscriptions, the telemetry is insane even compared to windows.

No Android is definitely not the future chromebooks were a mess too. And knowing Google they’ll just give up on anything they don’t seem profitable enough so even if they tried on desktop they’ll just pull the plug after 2 years.

If people complain about Linux being hard… give android a try as desktop OS it’s probably 10x worse. At least Linux comes with a decent office suite and decent networking capabilities.
