> And Humble Bundle book collections are DRM free too.
Not all of them. I've had at least one bundle where you redeem it via the Kobo store for DRMed ePubs. Most I've got via Humble Bundle have been DRM-free though.
On GrapheneOS, I have one banking app that works, and one that doesn't because of the linked issue.
Hilariously the message in the app says I can't be signed in because it's detected the phone is "jailbroken/rooted" and I "can still use our mobile site". The phone is not jailbroken or rooted, and using the mobile site on the same "untrustworthy" device is just as risky...
Yeah, I think some headsets issue Play when connecting. I had a frustrating moment yesterday on a Macbook:
- I was connected to a video call with Bluetooth headphones.
- It turns out the headphones were also connected to my phone at the same time, because it started ringing via the headphones and I couldn't hear anything on the video call.
- I rejected the call.
- The headphones attempted to resume what I was doing by sending the Play command to the Macbook.
- iTunes then opened covering up my video call window.
- I tried to close with CMD+W, iTunes didn't let me because I wasn't logged in and apparently the login window isn't allowed to be closed by itself.
- I manage to close the iTunes window and try to remember what I was saying on the call.
This was all due to terrible decisions by both Apple and Sennheiser imo.
> DMARC: Tells other mailservers what to do when the SPF and/or DKIM check fails
It's only "and" in this statement. You can't use DMARC to tell mailservers what to do when only one of them fails, as DMARC passes if at least one passes. The report will say which ones pass or not though.
FWIW I also use Fennec from F-Droid and I'm getting very slow behaviour and crashes with lots of tabs open (between 10-30). I don't have the theme change or tabs missing though.
I've been meaning to try different Firefox distributions though because switching away from Firefox isn't really an option for the reasons you've stated.
> Environmentalists have been some of the more effective lobby groups for locking in fossil fuel use through 1980-2020 when we really should have been transitioning to nuclear power.
If environmentalists are so effective, climate change would have been a higher priority over those decades. It seems likelier to me that there's other, more convincing reasons we haven't rolled out nuclear at a huge scale. For example the following are typically more convincing and applicable to nuclear as well: high costs, high political risk, fossil fuel lobbying.
...until you need to close a Finder window and you need to remember to use ⌘W because that can't be quit. Then you need to make sure to ⌘-tab past Finder because it will hang around near the top of recent apps until you've switched to enough other apps to push it to the bottom of the list.
If anyone has a way around this I'd love to hear it, but I think it's basically a side effect of apps being allowed to be open without a window and Finder always needing to run, so seems like an inherent part of the MacOS experience.
Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I've tried all sorts, from compressed air (useless) to toothpicks (not quite small enough) to thumbtacks (really hard to do carefully). You've reminded me that the other successful tool was a SIM eject tool I found lying around, but even then it's still not reliably charging. It's better with the USB cable one way round compared to the other, which makes me wonder if I've managed to scratch it with the thumbtack.
The irony is one of the main reasons for buying this phone was I didn't want to have to get a new one and transfer everything due to some tiny problem with it. The latest ETA is end of October so I guess I'll wait at least that long before giving up...
The bottom module has been out of stock for a while[1], and is also the part that's probably going to break first due to the amount of use it gets when charging daily. As someone who needs to put their FP3+ in _just_ the right position for it to charge, I'm very tempted to buy a new phone so I don't have to deal with the anxiety of wondering if it's properly charging when I go to bed.
Before anyone says: yes, I have cleaned the USB port out. Cutting a triangle off a credit card and using the corner worked the best in my experience.
I still would pay for the other "fair" aspects of the Fairphone, but until I can actually repair it I'm not going to consider it a repairable phone.
> Public transportation still requires you to go to the bus stop in the rain.
An umbrella solves that at minimal cost.
For the record, I don't think all car use is wrong, but the example of visiting a friend 10 miles away isn't a very good one. Someone shouldn't be expected to buy a car and its associated maintenance, tax, and externalities, just to visit someone that nearby.
