Update 1
I see a framerate/refresh rate bug that occasionally locks the framerate at a low value upon unlock. Fixing it requires a lock/unlock cycle.

No, don’t recall, maybe.
When will you wear wigs?
HAAH-!

what is the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
African or European?
how do you know so much about swallows?
deleted by creator
Coconuts of course.
Naturally.
Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?
Fairphones.
He doesn’t even swallow. He spits.
Swallow, come!
How did you take a picture of your phone?
We’re not doing this again
I’m invoking the mirror clause immediately.
I was there as that unfolded. It was a beautiful thing, and made me love that place in the early days before The Donald and all the corpo-bullshit.
Same. The good old days.
You hold your right index finger to your right temple and blink both eyes.
Noobs. Bet he doesn’t even use Linux.
Do you think three wheeled cars should make a comeback?
I’d go for three wheeled bikes.
Those are called trikes… obviously. How have you not figured that out? Bikes are called what they are because they have two wheels, “Bi” meaning two, same as we humans are bipedal because we walk on two legs. If a person had a third leg they wouldn’t be “bipedal with three legs”, they’d be tripedal.
I seriously don’t understand how anyone older than a literal child fails to understand that.
Haha love how angry this made you 😁 You go get 'em tiger 🐯
Is a bin with three wheels instead of two a trin?
That’s his thing. He takes pleasure in being cruel. And because he’s “technically” right, he’ll never own that.
A bike is an object with two kes. What’s a ke?
It’s actually every other ke.
a Latinized form of Greek kyklos “circle, wheel”
It could also be an object with ke bis, which sounds much cooler if you ask me.
I don’t understand how anyone older than a literal child would talk like you, tbh. And assume so much based on a joke to boot.
Only if the front wheel is like a rolling pin
Rear wheels: 235/55R19XL
Front wheel: Fred Flintstone style“Yabba Dabba Doo!”
Aptera LFG!!!
I cancelled my reservation after the 16th prototype and 3rd fundamental design change.
I still have my reservation but I’m tempted to switch to Telo
I switched to Slate
I like Slate but it’s not enough range for me
I forgot about this as soon as it didn’t have a headphone jack.

I’ve legitimately seen a few (with a single back wheel) here in LA. I wouldn’t take it on a highway, but they seem alright. Like a juiced up golf cart you can drive on the street, or maybe a hobbled dune buggy.
Yes they’re fine in LA street traffic. But probably not great in bad weather either.
Yeah, the ones I saw didn’t have a fully enclosed interior like a normal vehicle. Definitely not what I’d want to be in during a downpour.
Should I eat an entire black forest cake by myself?
Don’t do it.
Have you done it before?
No.
Go for it! You won’t get another chance when you’re dead.
True.
Narrator: idunnololz died later that day after attempting to eat an entire Black Forest cake solo
Well I certainly wouldn’t recommend sharing
If anyone wants a slice, they can get their own cake.
Back when I was young, swimming competitively, my go-to high snack was an Entemann’s All Butter French Crumb Cake and a half gallon of 2% milk. 2700 calories in a clip. Literally couldn’t put on weight.
But this story’s going to take a turn, because let me tell you, that shit catches up, and a poor diet is hard to forget, but when you’re old you do put on the weight.
So I’m going to say no, don’t eat the whole thing. Eat half of it.
Lmao. Well you see I’m an all-or-nothing kind of guy.
Just redefine your timescale. If you eat the whole thing by yourself over a week, you’ll probably be fine. Probably.
it depends, is it REALLY good and do you have to be anywhere for the next 4 hours or can you just lay around comatose?
I can confirm the cake is good and I can make time.
Probably not but it’s up to you dawg.
Thanks man.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Didn’t need to so far but I did it for you. It’s still alive. 😄
Where are you? What OS?
Ontario, Canada. Ordered from Clove UK. Stock Fairphone OS.
What did it cost you including any shipping costs?
CAD $889 shipped. Then CAD $127 in duties to DHL. CAD $1015 total.
Thanks for the reply. I’m also in Canada, and yeah that’s a lot. I hope you love it!
What apps are pre-installed? Anything other than the stock Google stuff?
Minimum set of Google apps, Fairphone’s cam and “My Fairphone.” That’s about it.
Which provider? I’ve avoided FP because I wasn’t sure the big three would support
Freedom. The only band it lacks for their Torontario network is band 13. I decided to risk it because Freedom used to run the network without band 13 until a few years ago. So I reason the coverage without it should be similar to the before time. That means a bit of a downgrade in signal and probably battery, given that band 13 is lower power, longer range fequency. But then again the FP’s modem is Qualcomm so it may end up being more power efficient than the turd in my Pixel. So I decided to try it out.
Awesome, thx! I might have to try one out for my next phone cuz I love the ethos. Enjoy! 😊
Write another reply to my comment in a few weeks to ask how the real world testing on cellular has gone. I’ll get a notification and reply.
Can do, thx!!
Seconding this, im on a FP4 and in the US so… Some real product reviews would be appreciated.
No questions, but I’m so fucking pissed that Fairphone is on their 6th generation and still doesn’t offer them globally.
I have to replace my wife’s dying phone, and it kills me that I’ll end up buying some garbage, probably from Google, that will end up as garbage in a few years.
Please, bring these to Canada! 😭😭😭
Buddy, I’m in Torontario guy. Bought from Clove UK for 1016 Canadian peso final-final, after DHL blood sacrifice.
I don’t want to import, I want to purchase from an authorized local dealer with warranty and parts available in Canada.
Even clove says that you’ll need to send the phone back to the UK, at your expense, for any warranty related work. That’s not only incredibly time consuming and costly, but it would negate any environmental benefit of owning the phone!
I can’t imagine how expensive and delayed parts would be, again, missing the point of having a repairable phone.
The demand for at least North American consumers is there. I wish Fairphone would just do it already.
Murena is an official authorized seller of Fairphones, but they come with e/os (you can reinstall the original if you have a computer)
Edit: Damn its available for the US but not Canada.
Got it. Yeah it makes sense for the warranty. I assumed I could get parts in Canada though. I might have jumped the gun on this one. I thought iFixit sells them and they do but I can see their site says “Not sold in Canads” for a few parts I checked just now. Hmm.
E: It seems that Clove also sells parts. I see some FP4 and 5 parts. No FP6 parts yet.
I bought my FairPhone from Clove too. It was easy and the phone works great here.

And towers. You live where I live, very low population density and thick forest make cell phones iffy at best. Many places I go have absolutely no cell service and probably never will. I will be dead before we get access to 5G here.
I will be dead before we get access to 5G here.
I have the opposite problem! 5G is being forced on us here (Ontario, Canada), and my mobile provider just closed of their 3g network, and are making 4g more expensive. I don’t need 5g. I don’t even need 4g, and to have to pay for it just sucks.
The US closed out 3G a few years ago. So 4G/LTE is the default now. When we had 3G, the reception was even worse. And 5G is supposed to be the thing. But even in the nearest big town, (Pop. 15,000), the 5G reception is very spotty. But at least my bill hasn’t gone up.
In any case, even my new Pixel 9a only shows one bar where I live. But at least I can send a text reliably now.
The US closed out 3G a few years ago.
Funny enough, was setting up a new phone and saw the option to enable 2g with an actual toggle! LOL
Opening up their market to another 400 million to multiple billion people would make those expenses worth while, though.
We need ethical, environmentally conscious, future proof options for smartphones in the Americas. 😫
I know Fairphone would probably be quite expensive even for the price it offers if it ever came to my country, but for the update cycle they offer and repairable build (looks at my broken screen of old Nokia), it actually makes sense. I don’t particularly need the highest end specs, I just need a mid ranger phone that’s sufficiently fluid and Fairphone fits the bill.
In fact, I was more intrigued by their earbuds. IIRC, they are the only one with a replaceable battery. For a set of wireless ones, that is a huge step. I don’t think their sound profile was/is as good as Sony’s or Sennheiser’s but the simple fact that they don’t have to end up as e waste makes them way more value for money in the long run.

This is why I got a Framework laptop, and why I wouldn’t mind getting a Fairphone. I’m tired of planned obsolescence, and the e-waste it needlessly creates.
I don’t think they’re handling their current scale well just in Europe, even. VoLTE works on a limited number of carriers even in Europe. e.g. only T-Mobile is recommended by FP in Poland, but it’s just one of the four large telcos. I wouldn’t expand if I was at that point. Plus, they’re busy with making their support less horrible (see post on their forum) for now.
edit: damn fp6 doesn’t support any Polish carrier, a step down from FP5 https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/9779766652689-How-to-set-up-4G-and-Wi-Fi-Calling
That’s disappointing. They’ve been around for over a decade, and still have these “growing pains”?
Even phones from much smaller, more niche companies (i.e Pinephone) have had global availability and work on global bands.
This is just about VoLTE that’s used for higher bandwidth of voice calls (and HD Voice). Calling works normally, it’s just that they don’t have the “HD+” icon in the dialer, so they aren’t high quality voice calls). It doesn’t impact my life very much but it’s one of those things that are missing.
At first congratulations to your new phone.
A few questions:
- Are there any notable gaps between the screen and the side? Can you e.g. put a piece of paper between it? Asking because the predecessor had these and they required cleaning from time to time as dirt accumulated in these
- Did you test the camera yet? Are you ok with the zoom or picture quality in darkness?
- Did you get a case? How are these available currently?
- How is the sound quality?
- Did you already open the backcover? Are there any difficulties in doing so?
- Are there any notable gaps between the screen and the side? Can you e.g. put a piece of paper between it? Asking because the predecessor had these and they required cleaning from time to time as dirt accumulated in these
Can fit a sheet just about. A thicker sheet might not fit.
- Did you test the camera yet? Are you ok with the zoom or picture quality in darkness?
The cam is quite decent in my testing so far. Zoom beyond 2x gets ugly quickly. The system is similar to Pixel a-series. One very good 50MP sensor for everything and low zoom, and one ultra-wide for wide shots and macro. Will be testing it more but first impressions are good. I think I can live with it coming from a Pixel 8 Pro.
- Did you get a case? How are these available currently?
No case, Clove didn’t sell one. Still in search for a case.
- How is the sound quality?
Not as loud as the Pixel 8 Pro but very good and loud enough. No farts or other bad speaker noises.
- Did you already open the backcover? Are there any difficulties in doing so?
Not yet.
What’s your favorite dinosaur?

Delicious AND waterproof!
Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food?
This is a truly cursed sentence and it makes my brain hurt.
I can’t tell if this is making fun of a specific dialect or just utter fucking nonsense
Best to be offended just in case.
I don’t know about making fun of a dialect, but it’s not quite utter nonsense - “oven” sounds like “of in”, so it can be interpreted to mean that it shouldn’t be called oven, because when you put the food in it’s cold, you only eat it when taking the food out, when it’s hot.
The sentence structure is so absurdly wrong it makes me wonder if somebody was genuinely trying to make a pun and ended up with that, or if it was intentionally butchered.
“of out hot eat the food” is definitely nonsense. I understand the joke, but “hot eat the food” doesn’t make sense.
It’s “of out hot” and “eat the food” - if we interpret “of in” (derived from “oven”) to be putting in the food, then “of out” would mean to take the food out, and thus “of out hot” would mean you take it out hot, and eat it
Ai generated nonsense lol
Edit: Apparantly actual humans made this nonsense “meme”. I’m losing faith in modern society… the future is just gonna be weird “skibidi”-type nonsense 🤦♂️
This joke is way older than LLMs becoming mainstream.
It’s sad that people keep calling non-AI generated stuff as AI-generated. Us humans are perfectly capable of nonsense too!
I hate that LLMs are going to permanently change culture in such ways, even if they’re not directly part of a thing
I mean I am all for AI hate but people just label anything AI nowadays. In this case it quite obviously shows at least 2 people are familiar with the nonsense joke. The least you could do is search the term on the web and see if it is something.
I’m none the wiser after reading that
At least you now have context.
I had hoped Lemmy mods would stay on top of stuff like that and ban bot accounts.
Ok boomer /s
Actually am Gen Z, the older Gen Z, I hate how this “skibidi” cringe shit and “tik tok” ruined the image of the “Gen Z”.
How are you older gen z and never heard of this meme?
Also what do you define as older gen z?
Am I having a stroke?
T H I C C
How’s the battery life?
Not sure yet but it seems decent so far. Will report as I get more usage.
What did you have for breakfast this morning?
I don’t eat breakfast. Been doing intermittent fasting for as long as I can remember. Surviving on 2 meals a day, one at lunch and a smaller one at early dinner.
Would love to do it but my heartburn literally prevents me from doing this. I have to eat or drink something small every few hours or it feels like an alien chestburster is about to fuck me up.
If possible, you should get a doctor to treat it. Untreated it could get worse. I improved after a few months of PPIs and avoided surgery. I’d do surgery if PPIs didn’t help. Nissen fundoplication has a very high success rate and it’s durable.
That sucks.
Should I get one?
If you need a phone and can afford it, so far I think so.
How much is it?
Also how much RAM/Storage did you get?
Or 1016 Canadian dollhairs, delivered.
Does the flashlight led have multiple brightness levels?
Tried flashdim from F-Droid, doesn’t seem to work.
Best app ever
Never heard about it. Works great in Pixel 8!
that’s an android feature. technically I think any phone could do it.
If the hardware isnt able to switch the LED at least like 200 times a second, then it cant do proper PWM that doesnt look flickery so no you can definitely have a phone that isnt capable of it.
Why would they use PWM to drive an LED in a DC circuit when they could just drop the voltage to make it dimmer?
Could be done but voltage regulators just burn a bunch of energy which doesnt seem very smart for a mobile device. Also if you already need a transistor for switching the LED then just picking one that can do so at 200Hz or more is gonna save you an extra part and give you much finer and easier control over dimming.
