So instead of actively removing cancer, we should just watch it? Yeah … no.

Change my mind.

If you say so.

I can’t go back to other browsers now, they’re all too cluttered

Cluttered? What do you mean?

Made the window smaller to not create a huge screenshot, but this is what my browser looks like.

Anything more than that, and I would be really annoyed.

Remember, open-source has a specific meaning; merely publishing your code in public view does not make it open-source.

This strengthens my point even more.

But why would you publicly host code of closed-source software?

I’d either selfhost a Forgejo instance (which I already do) or use Codeberg (which I also do). The Cloudflare thing for selfhosting is something you need to set up on your own, though.

And another reason to not use GitHub for new projects anymore and working on migrating older projects away from it.

Not sure if satire or real.

I am so glad that I’m using an adblocker that filters out 90% of the crap. The other 10% of the crap are killed by cookie whitelist and Javascript whitelist.

“bookworm” is now oldstable and “bullseye” is oldoldstable.

So “bullseye” got promoted from outdated to antique?

Honestly, I never really cared how I treat my batteries. Neither in my phones, or in my other mobile devices. Just plug in or put it on the wireless charging pod and forget about it. It was always other parts that failed before I noticed something related to the battery.

It’s not 2006 anymore. Batteries and battery management systems have matured – regardless of what “popular tech” magazines and video creators habitually proclaim.

Worry less – and enjoy your device more :)

So it likely is by design(?) I have my phone since release and just noticed it a few months ago.

In my 2 decades of using smartphones I had to replace the screen once (out ow my own stupidity of thinking I could balance everything from one room to another, which I could not, and my phone kissed the tiled floor).

The replacement, including a new screen, cost me €80 and took two days. It was carried out at an official partner store of my phone manufacturer. That’s perfectly fine, considering how convenient it is to have someone else do the work for me.

You don’t need to baby your batteries anymore. The is what the battery management system is for. Just plug it in whenever you feel like – for how long you want to.

Yes, that’s awesome. Easily replaceable parts should be the default – but within reason. If I lose compactness, functionality, or performance just because I have the option to change a part, then it’s a no-go for me.

Especially with batteries. Maybe it’s just my bubble and the outside world regularly changes their phone’s batteries, but in my world I never needed to change the battery. Nor any other part.

If one wants to support the Fairphone philosophy or regularly changes parts of their mobile: go for it! But in my world the Fairphone just is a lower mid-tier device with a high-end price tag.

I’m using NetGuard in whitelist mode: all traffic is blocked, including all traffic from system applications, only apps I allow can access the Internet (I can even control if the apps are allowed to use WiFi only, Mobile only, or both).

NetGuard install itself as VPN to provide the functionality. The VPN is local-only, so apps that want to connect to the Internet, use the VPN, and then NetGuard does it’s actions, and then the regular internet connection is used for outgoing trafic via the local VPN. With this, no root access is needed.

May I ask you for the alternative launcher you are using?

Contrary to normally using free open source software only, I’m using Smart Launcher – which is pretty much non-free closed source software. But I can tolerate it because how good it is.

Also how do you come to the price of 100€ for the battery? It’s just 40€ on the official shop.

Yes, you’re right, wrong product :) Its 40 Euros.
