You can take a look at the modlog if you are curious about your own comment. It is public.

The only limitation being, unfortunately, comment thread removal, in such case only the first comment is shown, which is why I tend to avoid it.

There is a lot to say about JK Rowling and trans right, but this topic is kinda devolving into an unnecessary flame war.
I’ll keep as much comments as I can, but some of them clearly violate both LW TOS and community rules, and thus will be removed.

If you respected the rules it wouldn’t have to be moderated.

Calling Rowling a terf is OK (you are stating the obvious in such case), telling another user to fuck off, or for specific group of people to die isn’t.

ah yes, the singular other mod that hasn’t made a comment in 2 years???

I was wondering if he was still here and sent him a message not long ago. Turn out he is, and just mostly lurks those days. Which means that I’m alone doing the moderation most of the time, but that also that you can still try. What do you have to loose? Time? Looking how much you posted on this thread you seem to have plenty of it, so why not try?

and how can any of them disagree with you? do any of you even have the ability to review the comments?

They do, and there were time we disagreed on some mod action. In such case we talk about it together, and try to reach a concensus. That’s how some of our rules exception came to be.

If you can’t handle calling out bigotry then you’re on the side of the bigots. you stance enables the bigots. civilty can only exist when the bigots are dead.

Ah. The good old false dilemma fallacy. Either I’m with you or against you. Did you ever consider that others have their own way to fight those idiots without having to resort to screams, rage and oversimplification?
This community was founded to provide a place were people can talk about games in a constructive way. If you wish to have a community of your own where you can do as you wish, be my guest, and go create it.

Reminds me of The Mean Greens - Plastic Warfare.

Fantastic game, too bad no one plays anymore.

This arguments won’t go anywhere, except a flame war.

So please, both of you, kindly accept the disagreement, and move on.

Prescription lenses are available at checkout, yes.

I’d be interested once it is compatible with Linux.

Depending of the country, could be a billion actually (some countries uses a dot as thousands separators). But I’d call bullshit is that was what OP pretended.

At five years you’re probably going to be disappointed with the battery performance, but how many people are continuing to use a 5-year-old phone?

My brother has a 6+ years old Iphone, my parents both have a 5 years old Samsung Galaxy Phone (S21 and A51). None of them complains.

On top of that, giving the user access to the battery means the phone body can’t be fully sealed against moisture and dust

Do you think computer waterblocks are sealed using glue? They aren’t. Screws and a good old o-ring are all you need to make a repairable AND waterproof phone. But they don’t want a repairable phone, they want you to buy a new one whenever possible.

plus the access panel is a big mechanical weakpoint which means the body will be less rigid than a fully enclosed device and thus more prone to breaking when dropped or sat on.

I dropped my FP5 multiple time. He never broke. My brother IPhone got a shatered back, and he had to replace the screen once for falling from a distance the FP5 just shrug off.

Plus, the addional space required to fit in the replaceable battery casing, the removable access panel and the contact points for the battery means either the whole device will have to be bulkier or the battery will have to be smaller (than it would otherwise be with a permanent internal battery).

True, but ot also don’t have to be the old pogo pin way. Any currently available battery is a removable battery given it is user accessible and isn’t glued to the board.

Today it’s weight and bulk, plus fragility that will probably lead to equivalent or increased e-waste.

I wonder… What would be the biggest e-waste? A dead battery or a dead battery with a whole perfectly functional phone attached to it?

Even with a backup, there are chance they put a “security feature” to prevent downgrade.

Makes sense. But you can offset part of the shipping from the fact that you can easily do the repair yourself.

Another possibility would be the HMD Skyline. Less repairable than Fairphones, but still far easier than most other smartphones. Only 2 years of updates though.

But starting from 2027, a removable battery will be mandatory for all smartphone in the EU, which mean most, if not all smartphone will switch to removable battery. This may also make repair a lot easier.

For being too forward, maybe?

Forward shipping exists.

Hum… So Fairphone ?

I agree that the employer part should be more automatic, but don’t forget it may not the the only income. You can have properties, you can have share and dividends. All that do not happen all at the same time, so it is far easier to calculate on an earlier snapshot than continuously recalculate every time something changes.

That’s how it is here in France. It is calculated according to the previous year income, so if you get a raise you’ll have to pay a little bit more at the end the following fiscal year, but that’s often very little. Last time I got a 2500€ yearly raise, I had to align something like… 100€ 😆.

If a company making bricks goes under, I’d be pretty worried about the quality of their product.

Some American live paycheck to paycheck. The comic implies that it is one of them.

She’s not sure to have enough cash to pay for the tooth right now, so 26 of them is a small firtune.
