I’m not sure, it’s my first Fairphone - time will tell. It’s guaranteed to get 7 years of updates if I’m not mistaken. I think for my use cases it will be sufficient, I don’t play games on mobile for example.

It’s a good mid-range phone - nice display, sturdy build - but a little bit thicker than most phones, which is probably due to repairability. Camera is ok, but not remarkable. Battery life is perfectly fine too, I’m charging it to 80% and it lasts me two days.

Overall really nothing fancy, but at the same time I don’t feel like I’m making any big compromises considering the focus on sustainability. Software has improved a lot, still needs a bit more work - but the most glaring issue, which was stuttering/low framerate after unlocking for a good minute is gone.

I was pretty annoyed that none of the reviews mentioned software issues, at all. Don’t get me wrong, I like the phone - but at launch it had many software problems - made me wonder if reviewers are even using the devices they’re testing for more than an hour. Fortunately with the latest patch it’s in a decent state now.

Great straw man arguments. I’m just gonna block you, because clearly a waste of time to argue with you.

By dismissing any criticism with this phrase you’re no better. Let’s just agree that everyone has different tastes, and Discovery doesn’t care about many things that people loved about TNG, TOS, etc. - that doesn’t make it bad, but it sure isn’t going to please all fans of the older shows.

“just one more big innovation, then we can all work less.” Yes sure, we’ve heard that before.

You might want to highlight what differentiates it from Obsidian, except being open source. Just from looking at the page, I don’t know what it means to have organization capabilities from Notion?

We need to do better in supporting independent journalism, and journalism in general. Replacing perhaps slightly biased newspapers with influencers is not a good solution… just makes it a million times worse. False information can spread so easily nowadays because influencers don’t even bother checking anything, let alone asking experts. A lot of influencers also blatantly pander to their audience.

Ah yes, selling me something that is already available but is just locked behind software. And then trying to frame that as somehow a good thing for customers. Just insulting.

Wenn man bedenkt, dass Einsamkeit immer mehr zunimmt, ist es dann kein Wunder wenn auch Drogenkonsum zunimmt. 😕

True, I may not have given SNW the chance it deserved. I’ve watched all 3 seasons of Picard though and almost 2 seasons of Discovery

For me, Star Trek was mostly about a possible brighter future. Humanity overcame the issues on earth, no longer relies on money/capitalism, etc. When your watch the crew on TNG, they are acting professionally and with a code of ethics.

Discovery is so miserable. Everyone is angry all the time, there’s racism, lots of unnecessary drama, people acting extremely unprofessionally. Same with Picard. Especially sour about how they made one of the best characters - Q - also very serious and miserable. He could’ve been the comedic relief the series needed, without undermining the rest of the story. The “Picard speeches” are just badly written too, so whimsical and empty.

We have a million dystopian Sci-fi series already, why do we need more? I feel writers are no longer able to tell compelling stories without fake drama. It’s possible to engage with modern day issues in a different way, especially by showing how to be better.

I’ve watched the first couple episodes with no expectations, didn’t hate them, didn’t love them… I don’t really know why - just didn’t click with me. Might give it another shot!

Honestly, after Picard and Discovery I’m pretty much done with “New Trek”, I’ve lost my interest. For this I’m not even the target audience - this seems aimed at teens / young adults. And it’s once again produced by Alex Kurzman. So… yeah, I’m gonna give it a pass.

I cancelled it when they started to crack down on family plans with separate households. It just wasn’t worth the money to me anymore. I wonder how much more price hikes the remaining customers are going to tolerate. At some point it becomes cheaper to just outright buy music…

Irrsinn das sowas überhaupt verkauft wird. Akkus sollten immer tauschbar sein - was da an Ressourcen verbraucht werden, von weit her (vermutlich China) geliefert wird, nur um nach kurzer Zeit auf der Müllhalde zu landen.

I think it’s best to find a local instructor. When you do it online, you have no one to correct your posture. Also if you really want to practice it as a martial art and not just a health exercise, you need partners to practice with. I use online material only as a complementary resource.

It’s also really easy to get lost in esoteric nonsense online to be honest, Tai Chi is associated with Taoism and TCM, and if you go down that rabbit hole, suddenly you find people claiming they can energy heal without even touching others. Just something to be wary of.

Makes sense to me since Tai Chi is a bit like combining meditation, muscle relaxation and low to medium intensity exercise. It also had a positive impact on my sleep.

The data is from 2017, surely that perception has changed - still surprising though.

Ich frag mich ob das gut oder schlecht ist. Vielleicht würden dadurch endlich wichtige Reformen in die Wege geleitet werden…
