Oh okay. I assume those will continue for a while. They are quite obviously targeting iPhone users, so their design language is mimicking iPhones as well.

Because it shattered something I’d long believed: that only certain people get to be sexual. That desire is reserved for the abled, the attractive, the young. That illness cancels it out.
Seems like a very strange belief to have held in the first place (with respect to prostitution), even with her medical condition. It's quite obvious that if you open up sex and intimacy to anyone who can pay for it, there will be zero restrictions on the type of clientele. That's the entire point of the service.
You can also buy through Vireo, they ship globally.
They don't use adhesive anywhere in the phone, as I understand. It is made up of 12 separate modules that can be swapped in and out without the need for a heat gun/mat.
It makes a lot of sense if you actually take the time to read his explanation of the context behind his position.
During the Biden administration, the Democrats lead by Schumer (whose family members are lobbyists for big tech) refused to bring antitrust bills Proton campaigned in support of to a vote. Additionally, the only invited senator to show up to a 2024 antitrust meeting was a Republican - Vance. Those are just two examples he cites of Democrats failing in this area and Republicans stepping up in their place.
The crazy thing is that Yen's argument, that the Democrats have been captured by the corporate donor class, would be supported in any other context by people on reddit and particularly Lemmy. It's the same thing you guys constantly complain about everywhere else (i.e. Sanders), yet in this one specific instance you ignore all of that and pretend that the Democrats are the good guys who can do no wrong because the idea that they could be as bad as, or worse than, the Republicans in this very specific area triggers you so hard.
Actually it seems like they've already included the option to do this!
It seems to change quite a lot all at once on the stock software, so it might require a bit of work to reprogram that (I'm not sure). Definitely seems like something that could be supported by a custom ROM. This one is an actual on/off switch with two positions, which you don't see that often these days. Could lead to some interesting uses if alternative functions are developed.
How does it compare to other handhelds, though? Slower than the original Switch is bad, but if these smaller panels are less responsive in general then I'm not sure I care if they compare poorly to larger PC monitor panels. I am not buying a handheld to compete directly with my PC.
Is the screen curved? It looks flat to me, as with all.previous models. Fairphone usually uses components that are easier to source and that will be in production for longer, so something like the curved screen (which seems to go in and out of fashion every few years) would be a strange choice.
Officially the Fairphone (Gen. 6). They are doing away with the numbered names to combat FOMO/unnecessary upgrades, but since they will have to include the generation every time to.distinguish each subsequent Fairphone this seems kind of pointless.
The major changes this time seem to be the slightly snaller size, the return to a more conventional Snapdragon chipset, the modular back/accessories and the new switch which enables a distraction-free mode.
The size reduction is a nice improvement, albeit a small one (this is still a big phone). The chipset change is interesting, considering they made a very bold choice to go with an unusual IIoT chipset last time that did end up causing issues for some users as I understand. Seems like a good change, considering they are sticking to the same minimum 8 years support guarantee.
As for the modularity and 'Moments' switch - both seem like gimmicks, although I think as far as gimmicks on smartphones go these are relatively harmless and could prove useful to some. Fairphone has said on social media that it will look into opening up the modular accessories to community printable designs, which could make this feature genuinely great. I know a lot of people here probably won't see the point of the 'Moments' switch, but there are people out there who do want this kind of feature and if it helps them switch off then I think it's a positive. I'd much rather have this on my phone then a dedicated AI button/switch, like other manufacturers have announced recently.
This is such a bizarre take when your own position is based on one or two screenshots of social media posts and the reddit hivemind's reaction to them. You are asking for someone to disprove/debunk your social media pile-on, which had almost zero substance to it, with some kind of in-depth, long-term New York Times investigation which deep down you know will never happen because this shit isn't relevant in the real world. That way you can just instantly dismiss the evidence that actually does exist to the contrary, done by regular people and published on their blogs, without ever having to read it or engage with the counter-argument.
