T470 here (the anniversary model). I’ll part with it when someone takes it from my cold, dead body.

Booo

Greenwashing is a bit harsh, no? From what I’ve seen, Fairphone is fairly involved in the improvement of production processes and usage patterns of phones (fairer wages, safer/cleaner ressource extraction, long-term software support, easier repairability for a wide audience) to the extent that this is possible for a relatively small company. They haven’t always delivered on every one of these points, but have had a pretty strong record in recent years, stronger than any other company I know of. Or maybe there are other companies that do this better or similarly well?

I swear my upstairs neighbors have bowling balls where other people have feet.

You know what, you’re absolutely correct. Enjoy!

Except for those flat-earth guys who started doing actual research with lasers and gyroscopes, proving that the earth really is round and rotating, too.

Alright, that explains.

According to Wikipedia, the Neandertal (the valley) was named after 17th century priest and composer Joachim Neander. Where does the “new man” come in?

I can appreciate a Jane Austen reference. Well done.

This is a good and nuanced take, thank you for taking the time to write it down. Piggybacking on this, if anyone wants to dive more deeply into the subject of psychological measurement, there’s an excellent book by Derek Briggs about this: Historical and Conceptual Foundations of Measurement in the Human Sciences: Credos & Controversies.

Reading this from a Fairphone 3 that received a new battery and a new headphone jack three weeks ago (and which were both extremely easy to install).

Can you take it out again? I still want to use this. Thanks.

From many years of experience on the interwebs, I can recommend this password:

NUL,\t.;TAB\n\x07^C

It’s very secure and works most of the time. I use it for everything.

I think the similarity comes from the literal meaning of the two but doesn’t extend beyond that. “Memento Mori” carries a distinctly humble meaning related to the concept of “vanitas”, the idea that death is inevitable, even for the rich and powerful, and that earthly pleasures are vain and meaningless. That’s really in the opposite direction of YOLO.

From a legal standpoint, the description (share DRM-free games with your friends) is also questionable as it’s currently worded. Copyright still applies to games that don’t use DRM. For OP, it might be a good idea to ask a lawyer to look this over and write a proper legal disclaimer, so they don’t end up being liable for copyright infringement.
