Slightly concerning given Motorola is owned by Lenovo, a huge Chinese company… Hopefully the Chinese state doesn’t get involved with the project somehow.

Can confirm, wait else your gonna have a rough time

It’s their first one and so far I’m quite happy with it! The dock is especially nice and one of the main selling points to me from a convenience perspective and it works great. I’m lazier than ever XD

I got a pair of Fractal Scapes. The software to modify them is just a website so it’s easy to EQ them on Linux (I run bazzite). The EQ profiles are also saved locally so once it’s set you never have to look at the website again. The works dick worked straight away and volume control+ play/pause work massively on Linux which is great

Which model Fairphone is it?

I also wish they would do a flagship but idk if they are at a size to develop and support 2 new phones.

I do think if they put flagship processors their phones that they would be more likely to last a long time and better fit with their selling point. But on the flip side, it then would (probably) be so expensive most people just couldn’t afford it. That being said, I’m happy with the FP6 so far. Feels like the snappiest phone I’ve ever owned even though I had an S20 FE previously which, on paper, has similar performance in benchmarks.

Hopefully one day they either release proper flagships or they make processors upgradable (probably even harder task tbh)

I’d second Vivaldi! When I first jumped to it ~5 years ago, it was a bit sluggish but they have done a lot of work to speed things up and now it’s fantastic. Super customisable and has so many different features that being forced to use Edge on my work PC is ultra annoying.

The only issue is that it is chromium based. Whilst thats good for website compatibility and chromium is technically open source, Google does own it so they could potentially include things people don’t like and generally fuck up things up.

Yes, I did have qwant be my default search engine by setting it as a custom one (PC and mobile). I think it is now a build in default now (just checked on mobile) which makes things much easier

Not with that username he’s not 👀

Damn, I’ll try join next your then ;D

Can I join the orgy? I don’t mind converting

Try using Heroic launcher for GOG. It makes things super easy though it does not sort kernel level anti-cheat (obviously)

I wish they would too but with prices on memory and everything else going up, I don’t think they will release new hardware anytime soon.

For those that don’t have a GPU that can run games as they’d like, they will have to rely on upscaling since even current GPUs are over MSRP again.

Hopefully the market changes and they release better hardware but until the AI bubble pops idk if it will

Thank you for repeating your question.

They are obviously not happy. Perhaps you could outline their perspective so we can have a discussion

Chill bruv… Can we not have a civil discussion? I’d be happy to change my mind.

Food being sold in the EU still have to meet EU food health and safety standards. Regardless of where it comes from this is legally the case. How these things are verified/policed is a different question and idk the situation on that. If enforcement is not good, that issue would still be there even without the bill. The bill probably won’t increase imports much so these policing problems likely wont grow.

Their stuff is cheaper for 2 reasons. The costs of running their farms is cheaper due to cheap labour with fewer workers rights. Conversely, cost of running farms in the EU is more expensive due to higher salaries, workers rights, and that other inputs are more expensive than elsewhere (I understand that fertiliser is quite expensive here for example). This is what tariffs protected against before and, like I said before, the deal only allows for a small proportion of those imports to not be tariffed. I think it will only be a small impact to farmers though, obviously, not 0 impact.

My point is that this deal likely won’t increase exports from there to the EU (in most categories). So this notion that the continent will be overrun by cheap, unsafe food doesn’t stand up when you see how little extra south American agro exports there will likely be imported

I mean, obviously they don’t want competition… That’s fair enough but they aren’t the only people that live in the EU. They are already subsidised and there are provisions for more subsidies if needed.

If the deal improves trade and grows the EU economy, we can afford to subsidise them more in future when needed

There are many quotas on agricultural products from south America to the point where major South American agro exports can only supply 1-10% of total current EU consumption tariff free. I believe honey was highest around 10% of total EU demand with most being around 1-3% such as for beef. For most agro products, South America exports more stuff to Europe than the tariffs would cover

To mee, it seems these quotes probably mean there will be little change in agro exports from South America since the tariff on those items have only been slightly relieved. We should definitely protect EU farmers but we shouldn’t hold up the rest of the economy for them.

Keep going EU, seems only you have the balls to stand up and enforce some kind of decency

Imo, you should sort your recycling. Makes it cheaper.

That being said, big tech has infinitely more impact on the environment and society at large that it is appalling the government doesn’t put them in their place…
