Fairphone brings a much better device to market with better cameras, a better screen, likely a better chip, open hardware specifications and modularity, a completely unlockable bootloader (with likely support for CalyxOS and other ROM's shortly), and up to 8 years of software support(!), but people say they won't get it because no headphone jack...

MFW people have their priorities extremely mixed up... That's been the world now for 6 years, it's time to get over it. Letting perfect be the enemy of good is how you decide to throwaway something as good as what Fairphone seems to be offering. Sony still offers Android devices with headphone jacks, just don't be upset if you don't get another Android version pushed to your device.

Heh, it's funny you mention this... Let's just say some things are in the works for that. :)

It's honestly remarkable how few people in the comments here seem to get the joke.

Never stop dissecting things, y'all.

Because it's just a proxy for Bing, with all the pitfalls of that.

Imagine if someone had said something like this about the 1st generation iPhone... Oh wait, that did happen and his name was Steve Ballmer.

May want to lock this community here so people move over to the correctly named one.

Lol, ok the formatting between mastodon and Lemmy isn't exactly great, but oh well. This post is mostly meant for Mastodon.

Yeah, same for me. Basically, just a few games with anti-cheat (or poorly implemented anti-cheat) are the only issue for me. Most other things can be made to work, even if there can be some jank involved. But even then, 70-80% of games "just work" and it's amazing.

I've been using Linux exclusively for 4+ years now, it's amazing whenever you can achieve it. You could consider dual-booting for your system, or running windows in a VM if the software you need isn't something that requires a ton of horsepower.
