Apparently Nokia has released a repair friendly phone (G22) in tie-up with iFixit for original replacement parts!
Hugh Jeffreys does a tear down and verifies the claims - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZGM-SgfyU4
This means we can finally get a repairable smartphone in India, Since #fairphone & #pine64 devices are never coming here.
With un-lockable bootloader, It seems viable for #LineageOS & #postmarketOS hacking; Unisoc T606 chipset is bit concerning though. Any thoughts @joelselvaraj ?
A word of advice for e/OS/ users:
After a few months with @murena #eOS on my #Fairphone3 I have had only one problem: The default camera has good quality, but is slow to take pictures to the point of sometimes failing completely.
I was close to giving up and going back to default Android when I found the solution by @Ingo_FP_Angel in this thread:
https://community.e.foundation/t/how-is-the-camera-camera-app-in-fairphone-3/18232
A step backwards in terms of #degoogling, but my #Fairphone is now better than ever. :)
APK I use:

@eris it amazes me how free people can insist on being in countries where they don't even have the freedom to sleep in a fucking tent in the forest.
@thibaultamartin And not only for desktop, but also iOS and Android. It's a fantastic mobile browser.
@stephenfry I'm always fascinated by the post war narratives of heroes that aren't celebrated - at this point I've gotten so used to them being Communists that I hadn't even considered that other factors such as queerness might play a role.
Would love to watch.
@leadore @omglinux I mean, it's an app grid. If you open flathub what you see is an app grid. So it kind of reflects the content.
I agree that it's not groundbreaking, but I buy the argument that it's not supposed to take attention away from the actual apps it promotes. So while I generally dislike overly modern logo design that's minimalist to the point of being boring, I think this is neat enough. :)
@alexm It seems Gnome is finally beginning to approximate KDE's red ball technology. I'm very pleased.
@rvawonk I have no idea what is going on, but considering who you've been up against I can only imagine it's ugly.
Thank you for kicking against the pricks. There's still a sane world out there somewhere.
On my side I don't even know what this is about, it's not even nine in the morning yet my time, and I still feel like that's enough internet for one day. Take care.
@omgubuntu I prefer old fashioned installs to save space mostly, but not to the point where I prefer adding third party PPAs for every app. It becomes too messy.
I have no preference between Flatpak and Snap, and use both on both Fedora and Ubuntu. If people want to make a principled stand how to install their software they should be capable of tracking it down on github and compiling it themselves. For the rest of us, a flatpak link is useful.
Not sure if this means Sapot Browser from Ubuntu Touch can also be installed, but if it does, I highly recommend checking it out! It's basically a Morph browser testing ground, and comes with huge improvements in stuff like the handling of tabs and gesture support. :)
Super exciting to see the projects grow closer!
@CassandraZeroCovid @haeckerfelix And behold - now it is front page news!
Do yourself a favours and listen to today's episode of the Daily, or at least the first half - the Bing chatbot declared its love to a journalist for the New York Times and it only got weirder from there on out. Hilarious and more than a little bit creepy.
@TheDreadTitania The children of the *codfather. It all checks out.
@adamdavidson I love that you seemingly intended to write this post about TV ads, but it works equally well if not better for TVs themselves. Except that it's weird your kid would have that much experience with televisions.
@omgubuntu I think you're right not to moderate more strictly than you do. It's a shame comment sections are a broken format, but its not your fault. There is no correct answer how to moderate them; that's why the internet largely gave up on them.
I don't think deleting more posts is much of a solution. These people have a lot of time on their hands - I think they're like that mobster where you chop of one head and several new ones appear.
@OpenTangent @fedora @omgubuntu Exactly the same here - I have been using Ubuntu since Gutsy Gibbon (late 2007), changed to Fedora on my main laptop after running into some issues with 22.04.
Couldn't be happier with Fedora!
@fla @mariogrip I think this list is exhaustive and kept updated:

In which case it's not available for PinePhone yet. But I could be wrong. :)
@kimlango Sounds like the perfect story to wrap up the year haha. What a mess. Happy new year! 🥂
@kimlango I don't think I had ever heard of this person before George Takei posted about him just an hour ago, next thing I see he's apparently arrested for human trafficking? And it's somehow to Thunberg's credit?
Things happen too fast, I have no idea how people keep up with any of this.
