    Despite the issues, and knowing that a different phone would get me a much better value at a lower price, I was going to buy one of these.

    …but then I saw it wasn’t available in the US. So I went with a (used) Pixel 7 on ebay instead. Considering this is the 5th iteration and they still don’t have a US variant, I’m not going to get my hopes up. I know Murena sells a US variant of the Fairphone 4, but apparently it uses the same exact modem, so using it in the US will result in connectivity issues.

    at least I’m recycling!








  • I have an iPhone as my only phone, and a Pixel sitting in a closet. Not sure why I’d want to use both. Emulation on mobile isn’t something I do anymore, but if I did, it is possible to sideload on iOS with some extra effort. It’s not as easy as Android, but I’d say it’s worth considering before deciding to go with two phones.

    You can use either the official Apple sanctioned way, where you manually install via Xcode every few weeks or pay $100/year for a dev certificate, OR use something like SideStore. No jailbreaking required.









  • If you can’t be bothered to spend 1 minute to create an account, then you probably can’t be bothered to create an actionable bug report or a merge-able PR.

    I’m not against federation in general, but gitlab isn’t twitter or reddit. It’s a utility for doing work, and I don’t see how it will do anything but grow the mountain of bloat on which gitlab is sitting.


  • Kind of lame that they’re wasting time on gimmicky features like this rather than stuff people have been asking for (like Conan registry support)

    I self host Gitlab because I want to be in control of my private repos. If I wanted to release open source projects and collaborate with people, I would use the SaaS version. Public instances that encourage contributions like Gnome have open registration, but activating federation seems like it would just add a new layer of moderation headaches for very little real benefit.

    Am I missing something? Besides marketing for Gitlab, what real benefits could this bring to users?
