“Is it too late to ask the UK to take us back” reads like “Fog in channel, continent cut off”.

Technology@lemmy.world•New EU law requires devices to be repairable - Every phone, television or washing machine you buy in Europe must be easier to repair starting tomorrow. That’s when the European Right to Repair Act takEnglish
4·1 day agoThis law still has a lot of good things in it. Calling it useless is what those companies would want you to do.

20·1 day agoHaving those rules is much better than not having them. Also, IP rating is not enough, batteries also need to have sufficient load cycles. So if it forces them to use only long life batteries that reduces the need for battery repkacements and is already something.

That is why I use openSUSE Tumbleweed. Haven’t updated in half a year? No problem, just do zypper dup and let it do its job.

1·1 day agoThis has nothimg to do with left or right. Bringing Jesus’ actual teaching is if anything leftist itself What this is about is that one passengers violated the terms of service of the airline, was obnoxious towards others caused a delay in flight operations and made the work for the flight crew just that much harder for egoistic self centred reasons. If someone had done the same while preaching the socialist revolution my ooinion on it would be very much the same.

28·2 days agoA plane is a plane, with etiquette rules, not a debate podium. If you can’t behave in a way that doesn’t lead to delays in flight and makes the day of the attends hard, that is a you problem.

Linux@sh.itjust.works•Linux desktop market share has hit over 10% in North America
20·2 days agoYou don’t need an LLM to setup Linux, it is as easy, possibly even easier than setting up Windows 11. While LLMs can provide some help in troubleshooting, they can be just as wrong. If you think they can’t be, quite frequently actually, you are living a dangerous life.
That was almost 20 years ago. It is nothing like that anymore I would say. Some things are still more complicated to configure but then, other things just work that don’t work for example on my other system that runs pop-os, in general openSUSE is just as easy to install as any user friendly distro. And among the rolling release distros, openSUSE Tumbleweed is probably the most stable of them all.
opi is a great tool, even when just looking for applications in the regular repository. But then you can also very easily access the open build service with it as well.

Sailfish OS@piefed.zip•Jolla Phone community designed backplate for magnetic mounting
5·3 days agoYes, it should stick to it. Of course there is no charging because there is no charging coil. It is not entirely trivial to print as tolerances are fairly tight but it is not too complicated to print either.
I only tested it with the Cloudvalley Ring Holder but it should work just as well with other magsafe mounts.
Of course, the easier option is to take the metal ring and just apply them on your stock back plate, but then you have a metal ring attached to the outside that may or may not hold.

Linux Phones@lemmy.ca•Jolla Phone 2 & Sailfish OS: A Real Third OptionEnglish
11·3 days agoName me a concrete phone model that has no significant compromises in hardware functionality. Maybe I missed those when I had a look into it.
The Postmarket wiki only shows a handful of devices where Call functionality is classified with “Yes”, rather than “Partial” or even “No”. Other than Pine Phone and Purism Librem that is only the Shift6mq from 2020 and four Xiaomi devices with the newest one being also from 2020, all of those have core functionality that does not fully work. Maybe that wiki is horrendously out of date but then this doesn’t do good service to give newcomers a good idea where the project stands.
BTW: I am not saying btw that postmarket isn’t interesting nonetheless to many people and a great project.

11·4 days agoYes, you can choose components and then you get something like the Pinephone. Do I really need to go on why there are substantial downsides connected to that?dann können Of course, if you sell 10 mio phones things get easier but that is ou of reach for any such project by a long shot.
Or which mainline Linux phone with acceptable hardware am I unaware of?

11·4 days agoThe kernel depends on the hardware. Trying to get hardware with mainline kernel support is hard and expensive. Mainlining isn’t the trivial task you make it out to be, otherwise postmarket would not struggle that much. Or tell me which device just works with postmarket OS?
Sailfish OS can work with mainline Linux kernels, it has been ported to the Pine Phone for example.

31·4 days agoSailfish OS can run on mainline kernel. The Jolla Phone does not run a mainline kernel because it consists of off the shelf phone components and those are for Android phones outside of the world of iOS.
Mainlining is anything but easy if you aim is a functioning daily driver and not a tinker project, especially in a team as small as Jolla’s with so many more urgent tasks.
PS: Angelfish runs just fine on my Jolla Phone.

9·4 days agoI find it impressive how negative people tend to be because something is not pure enough, they talk it down even much more than the duopoly systems. Yes, Sailfish OS has some closed source UI parts, and you can’t just install desktop programs outside of the cli without running into problems. But running desktop programs, not optimised for mobile use are a terrible experience to begin with. This is a mobile device, not a desktop. If you disagree with that and want a desktop on your phone, there are options for you too, Sailfish OS isn’t it though.
That said, what surprised me most is how much I am in the terminal on the phone and enjoying it. You’d certainly not going to have that kind of experience on an Android, also not on a degoogled one.

2·4 days agoWhat is so bad about the repairability of the Jolla Phone? You can have a look at the teardown on ifixit. Seems pretty straight forward and modular. Sure, Fairphone is yet better, not so much because it is so much easier to take apart but because of how extensive their replacement part store is.

3·4 days agoThen get a Fairphone, that said, most of the people who have purchased the Jolla Phone have gotten 256 GB for 500-580 EUR. I personally got it for 580 EUR.
Which one of those Linux distros on Fairphone is as daily driveable as a phone as Sailfish OS?


I beg to differ, Homer’s car has been beaten by the Cybertruck.
