I agree with you here but I wouldn’t want to pay for a host for some FOSS project and I wouldn’t host that on my own IP either.

Decades is far from infinite

Idk about infinite, if they stop getting updates they will eventually get phased out and if you can’t download the application it’s also dead. All that aside the sun is going to go super nova eventually.

Also a lot of people don’t want to self host. I doubt you self host your own Lemmy instance for instance.

But to avoid this you could run a VM and restore to a snapshot but that’s not really switching to Linux. Windows/Mac users should generally not just jump into Linux but transition to it.

Lemmy as usual disregarding pragmatism to be as dogmatic as possible

Plus headphone jack

Because it’s like old forums where the first person to comment gets engagement

I worked in supporting those and I had an easier time helping people with windows phones. 🤢

But they’re talking mainstream support and windows is much more popular.

Well um actually a Linux workstation would be GNU/Linux and chromeos is only the Linux kernel. /s

I just can’t get over the walled garden and shit notifications. Like, fuck Google but why can’t I own my device.

Looks like mostly nachos

Sues corning for making all that glass that transmitted the piracy.

Some of the most unruly people I’ve ever known are women. I think women just emphasize better and with media from a connection to those who are in or made the media.

Do they pay you to “yeah but” for them or are you just a simp?

But iPhones get long support, pixels now get 7, and S24 get 7.

Fairphone themselves even admits they can’t fix everything in production so a phone that was about to be waste is more fair.

If they built their phones in Germany or something I could accept the price but they’re made in China where labor standards aren’t exactly great.

I mostly can’t get over paying more for worse specs. It doesn’t have to feel bad now but with 8 years of support it could very easily not feel good in the future. It’s a $760 phone that benchmarks close to the Samsung A54 a $400 phone.

The selling point is the ethical value of the phone but it’ll never top how much waste buying a used phone saves.

With the Linux community I think it’s canon to say the socks stay on. From the socks that are adorned with sandals to the socks that go above the knee.

Even renters have rights. If you’re buying something like this you likely have no rights in the matter and the license you agreed to made sure of it.

Sounds like Scooby Doo’s lost cousin Sue Doo
