  • I’d love them to support the project more! Degoogling is still hard. GrapheneOS support would be awesome too.

    I was especially miffed when they decided to prioritize fair trade materials over a free and de-googled OS. That was around 2017ish, and now we have the proof how quickly even the big corporate players can turn fascist, as the de-googled phone users haven’t been telling everyone for at least a decade why it’s a really really bad idea to have your phone talk with some corporate server outside of your phone provider (bad enough but necessary to use a phone) on everything you do.



  • As much as I like the Fairphone people, the phones suck for me personally:

    • too big (FP1 was perfect size)
    • life cycle is fucking short: support gets dropped before my phone breaks (my FP1 is still in perfect shape but alas no security updates for years, had to trash my FP2 because when the charging port started to become unreliable, no spare parts were being sold anymore) - which flies in the face of their "mission to sustainability
    • not enough focus on LineageOS support
    • way too many cameras - but seemingly most people are vain enough to like that





  • short of a website provider having access to my provider ip over time vs. customer data, how is my browser fingerprint uniquely identifying me when I clear cookies every now and then and often resize the browser window? Genuinely curious - obviously between clearing cookies there’s an issue, and also if I use logins to any websites that share data with some asshat like google analytics, they will recognize me across websites. And of course with the latest mozilla data grab, things will get worse :/
