  • Nah, I feel cheated by Fairphone. With the whole FP3 and FP3+, they were leading with the idea that they have settled on the form factor, and then just evolve the separate mainboard/camera/display modules independently. With the FP4, they scraped all that and just chased whatever was trendy at the time and cranked the “but the environment” marketing.

    I paid the Fairphone premium knowing that the specs were crap, but that at least in the future I wouldn’t need to upgrade by buying a whole phone. Promising to have software upgrades for 8 years is nice, but it’s worthless if you can not upgrade any of the hardware in the meantime.

    For now I will just go buy a “budget premium” Android and pray that the people from frame.work decide to extend into phones as well in the next 2-3 years.




  • Sturgeon’s Law applies: 90% of everything is crap.

    Reddit’s value has never been in the “average redditor” or the “popular subs”. The real value is in the niche tail of communities and the fact that they have such a massive amount of people that even if “only” 10% of their users were decent people, it still meant that they had enough decent people to talk with something to contribute.

    All in all, this is just to say that our problem should not be about “Reddit users”. Our problem should be with Reddit management. The threadiverse is still incredibly boring. Things here are mostly meta-conversations and there is little to no original content here. The way to solve this will be by bringing more people here. A lot more.
