  my favorite this about this image is how the mandatory hamburger acknowledgement is interrupting a scene where a man is getting shot in the face, emphasizing that the target audience is Americans

  their search function also returns primarily random, unrelated videos… I think they just don’t like people deciding what they look at

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fairphone 5 - release date and US support??⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had it since 2016, so it’s close to 7 years now. I replaced the screen and battery on it, but it has been pretty solid. Actually, uptime is something that’s an advantage for self-repairable stuff: when the screen needed to be replaced, it still worked enough to use, which I did until the replacement arrived. Takes a minute to swap the screen and then it’s running again.

  I’m based in Germany so I only used it in the US when traveling. Maybe the 5 will be the one where they decide to cover the US officially? It seems like there’s more attention to repairability than there was 7 years ago…

  I hope it comes out soon - I’m still using my Fairphone 2 but it’s really time for it to retire
