I managed to squeeze 5 years out of a $200 budget phone. 7 years on mid-range or flagship is trivial.

Especially as new Pixels have lots of features to improve battery longevity:

• charging only up to 80%,

• OLED display that turns off pitch black pixels. Many apps nowadays have pitch black themes, and you can set wallpapers to pitch black,

• limit display smoothness to 60 Hz,

• battery saving mode,

• dark mode,

• turn off background usage for individual or all apps

Taxing sugar is protecting the poor people’s wallets long-term from having to buy Ozempic, surgeries, sneakers for jogging, and fitness trackers.

That’s the real way wealth gets transfered from the bottom to the top - by selling poison AND the treatment for it.

Environmentally inclined people feel like they do something and don’t rally against the real problem.

Actually we have already been lobbying and protesting and trying to change the system for decades.

The work might not be visible, but it’s due to resource constraints, not because we are delusional and think that decreasing global CO2 emissions by 0.000000027% will fix the biodiversity loss.

Thanks, this makes sense

Yes.

GOS has compatibility issues, but they are unrelated to the sandbox and can be fixed with some tweaking.

And I still believe in having a curated primary digital fingerprint.

Could you please elaborate? I know what digital footprint is, minimizing and compartmentalization techniques, but not primary and curated digital footprint.

Your argument is extrapolating way too much. You constructed this overcomplicated chain of thought that supposedly proves GOS sold out because… They got a manufacturer to build hardware that meets GOS requirements?

This is no different from ZOG, deep state or Blackrock conspiracy theories.

I could have sworn they had plans to ship Graphene phones

They do. They say it in their roadmap:

Hardware and firmware security are core parts of the project, but it’s currently limited to research and submitting suggestions and bug reports upstream. In the long term, the project will need to move into the hardware space.

Most people will still use Instagram TikTok and such.

The beauty of Graphene is it’s sandboxing and exploit protections are built precisely on assumption that the user will install every single piece of malware out there. The OS doesn’t trust anything by default.

Perhaps there is a public library in your area that accepts donations? The one I live by is STARVING for support, they accept books, old computers, anything.

They do good work for the community too, like free tech literacy classes, chess for kids, etc.

But if you are dead set on an online NGO, then maybe archive.org? You have probably heard about their Wayback Machine, but they preserve books and other media too.

Geesh, only checks note $5,000? You people are so greedy these days

I live in a car and sell my body on the streets so I can cover my friend’s college tuition.

If you don’t help your best friend with everything you can, are you really his best friend? or is he just some dude thats chill to hang out with?

This has nothing to do with flirting. They harass girls to feel in control and take out their dating frustration on someone else

This won’t help PeerTube become mainstream either.

Hosting videos is extremely expensive, thus there is a financial incentive against hosting a PeerTube instance.

Unless PeerTube fixes the incentives, it won’t be sustainable long-term.

What?

Fairphone costs cheapest in carbon footprint and disruption caused to copper mining communities.

It’s more expensive for you, sure, but it’s the least costly option in grand scheme of things.

This app must have been designed by devil to torture digital minimalists and UNIX philosophy people in the afterlife

I have seen multiple of those Windows debloater scripts online, but I struggle to understand which one is legit and which could be malware

At least one security researcher says Edge is the most secure option for Windows users.

Why not spend 5 minutes and find a place that has exact same meals, but doesn’t use AI?
