And they’re running into issues due to increasingly ingesting AI-generated data.

There we go. Who coulda seen that coming! While that’s going to be a fun ride, at the same time companies all but mandate AS* to their employees.

Both are good 👍

ASSD

I bet a place like that already exists somewhere!

Thank You! Yes!

So … A-not-I? AD? What do we call it? LLM seems too specialised?

Ugh, this really couldn’t be more obvious. I guess that’s where the USA’s heading now, with their leader as role model.

And I mean the messaging, not the fact that this is an electrical car. Which came out in 2016. Although, “most awarded” suggests a few years later.

True; I just hate headlines that ask stupid questions.

But then again, there’s always the premise that it could work, in such attempts, which annoys me no less.

Updating databases to support anything other than that which would run on a 1970s mainframe costs the sort of money that eats into C-level’s yacht funds, so it won’t happen.

Even so, multiple strategies to include unicode characters in ASCII exist. *sigh*

Anybody who thought the answer could have been even remotely close to Yes is delusional.

Yeah, that one always gets me: and then they run 5 miles on a treadmill.

On the streets of New Delhi this will probably take just as long as walking. Need the AC though.

What’s this about? Government-mandated to reduce emissions? Switching to electric, or just “better” ICE cars?

AFAIK pollution is a serious problem in India’s cities - but people like this guy are going to defend their “personal freedoms” (cleverly masked as economical concern) tooth and nail.

edit: I stand corrected. This is someone being upset about bad policy. Still, the “wife” and “1km”, both suggesting this is a secondary vehicle, triggers me. Standard upper middleclass griping.

if you buy a regular phone and donate €5, you will have done more

I question if donations work that way. And you still bought one more device that’s made on the backs of disenfranchised people. (Again, not saying that a Fairphone eliminates that 100%, but a little)

In the end you are annoyed at the brand name plus the higher price evoking larger expectations in some of your friends. Join the club. But that’s a far cry from your original statement. Glad we could clear that up.

Just to be clear: this is about the USA.

Austin, Texas–based influencer and entrepreneur shares of students at her dozen or so K-12 schools, a ten-year-old boasts that he is a successful Airbnb manager, while another constructs a miniature Cybertruck.

I know a lot of people who buy a fairphone

A lot? Lucky you. I know one.

they want to save the planet, and that’s really not what this phone is doing

It’s not an on/off either/or thing; every little bit helps.

This is exactly it. Running a tiny company with nothing in-house making a custom phone with custom hardware is expensive.

Are you expecting a Fairphone to be only as much more expensive as the extra (“fair”) wages paid would cost? But your own quote above proves why that cannot be.

The rest of your comment is much the same; you seem to get too hung up on comparing prices to mainstream devices/parts. If it’s too expensive for you, don’t buy it. You can also do your part in saving the planet by using an older phone for longer with, say, Lineage OS or Sailfish OS.

Nice. There’s a demo for the Docs.

Here are some YT videos:

Honestly only the first one is mildly interesting.
Some of the fanboi justification talk is super cringey.

France created their own open source version of google docs as well.

“France” as in the government? Or do you mean the Framasoft association?

This is absolutely correct.

I remember when they changed their messaging and openly admitted that their phone is not and can never be 100% “fair”, but that they’re trying their best. They were quite open about it. Even so, the factual fairness I read then read better than what you present now.

To be fair (haha, pun intended) their phones are also about modularity.

So where does the money go?

Almost* every alternative hardware company asks much more for a (hardware wise comparable) product for a whole slew of reasons; “Fairness” rarely plays into it.

In other words, even if the Fairphone wouldn’t claim to be fair, it would cost just as much.

And, to be fair again, the Fairphone is still cheaper than some of its competitors.

* except Pine64 it seems. (also somewhat modular btw)

Check the forums.

FWIW, Signal works perfectly, WA too.
