  You mean an international sim? I don’t think so. The FP website tells users to check the phone is supported in the clintry they travel to.

  And no. Aus gov did nothing BEOFRE this happend. We FP5 users found somewhere that supported us and hit it out. But seems were found.

  Basically. But Optus is joining the party too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People have. Some samsungs were blocked in the first perge. There was minimal outcry. The normies just got new phones.

  … Also someone did die coz they went able to call emergency services. Something to do with the phone not updated and had not been blocked properly (otherwise they would have known they couldn’t call emergency). So it seems that’s kicked off a new wave of checks.

  Search Telstra 3G shutdown. They were the first to block all in 2024 (and can confirm still blocked) Optus is now blocking on the 10th March. There’s one telco left in AU. Everyone else sells one of these three.

  Much discussion in this FP5 thread. …fairphone.com/…/3g-network-closure-australia

  Despite what people say the phone works and has all requirements for the network, VoLTE calling and emergency calling. The telcos tho don’t want to take a risk with “unknown” modems. So they disable network.

  Wow. Two FP posts in a night. Paste of my comment.

  Faiphone is being frog marched out of Australia. Each telco is shutting it down and blocking IMEIs. Sucks for the people that imported them.

  Cant even use it as data only. So unless you use it as puerly on WiFi it’s going to landfill. 😔.

  The issue is downloading it with YT constantly making it harder to do, and pretty much against ToS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is sharpedo blocked in image searches on DuckDuckGo and Bing, but not Google?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting that sharkpedo (how I thought it was spelt) works in DDG (as other users say DDG is bing).

  I think the same as others. Just a shitty word filter in bing - word filtetes never work consistantly.

  Knownword-pedo works (mostly) but not always. Treepedo works. Catpedo dosnt.

  Self checkout fucks up every second time. Then I have to wait for the server fixing the other 6 fucked machines to do mine. The terminals always seem to be slow with whatever the unfuck commands are.

  On average it dosnt seem faster.

  Generally it shows us content that makes us mad. Sadly, and opposite to what we thibk, humans are more likely to engage with content thst pisses us off. Maybe it took things too far with yours. Possibly you commented on how fucked up one post was so it showed you more. Dunno.
