Not the first time for me. For example, on the mobilism (apk piracy) forum, only known mail providers are accepted (e.g. gmail)

Sigh Guardian doesn’t let me sign up for their newsletter on a mailbox.org account, shame, was a nice article.

Kevin has been angry about this for a while, here’s March 2023: https://corporate.ryanair.com/news/ryanair-launches-eu-passenger-petition/

The picture you posted looks good to me. The stripe color on the shorts is faint anyway, so anything goes.

I… cook in a terry cloth (“towel”) bath robe when I know I’ll go out after cooking. I guess it functions similar to a smoking jacket:

To protect their clothes, many men would wear their robes-de-chambre while smoking in private. These robes acted as a barrier against ash and smoke

Nie było jakiegoś artykułu w ostatnich paru miesiącach że to kwestia złego przetłumaczenia ustawy w j. polskim?

Chyba kiedyś już wrzucałem pod Twoim postem ale: https://fsfe.org/activities/routers/routers.en.html

(wyróżnienie moje)

a successful campaign for Router Freedom in Germany that resulted in the adoption of a law obliging all German ISPs to enable new clients to use alternative modems and routers to connect to the internet

Czyli nie tyle, że możesz podpiąć własny router za obowiązkowym routero-modemo-access-pointem od ISP (który możesz przełączyć w tryb bridge żeby funkcjonował tylko jako modem) jak to jest w Polsce , tylko możesz kupić swój własny oddzielny modem, podpiąć go do własnego routera itd.

Patrz https://helpdesk.vodafonekabelforum.de/wiki/Einsetzbare_freie_Endgeräte - to lista urządzeń które możesz kupić sam które wspiera niemiecki Vodafone - tj. nie musisz korzystać z tego co daje ci operator. Na samej górze są dwa czysto kablowe i na samym dole jest Technicolor TC4400 który jest najprostszm w świecie modemem, bez żadnych funkcji WiFi.

W Vectrze jest o tyle fajnie, że nie tylko pozwalają na podpięcie własnego routera (tryb bridge), ale w specjlanym trybie “open” (ustawiany z poziomu webui Vectry) podają też hasło do wydawanego przez nich urządzenia. Można tam sprawdzać statusy DOCSIS itd. Jak widzę że internet nawala to wchodzę w 192.168.100.1 i mogę sprawdzić czy modem nie stracił połączenia z ISP. Całkiem fajne, bo widać w logach jak jest negocjowane połączenie itd.

Isn’t this a screenshot of Truspilot reviews for the company called “Nothing”, not Fairphone?

Let’s contain the coming 3.5mm jack jihadists under this reply please

There are three features here:

1. D-ring closure (similar to d-ring belt)
2. Short inseam
3. Olive material, probably cotton twill

The inseam will be the most difficult thing probably, since I’m assuming you’re ok without the d-ring. Don’t be afraid to buy from the women’s section (men buy e.g. Patagonia Baggies from the W’s section due to shorten inseam and better waistband, but they’re a different style).

You could probably also get second hand skinny chinos from e.g. Dockers and cut off the material where you want it, then bring them to a friend or tailor to finish off the edge (cut off leaving a bit more material for the hem)

Pizza delivery companies hate this one weird trick

Ah yes the Un-Internet

New food chain just dropped

Also see Fairphone 6 leaked specs, and the phone itself releasing in 2 days. Fairphone 5 is fully supported by Ubuntu Touch no? Or do you mean that Ubuntu Touch as an ecosystem is in general “behind” Android?

I agree that using a dumbphone can be hugely impractical, especially in today’s app centric world. I posted the article to this community because I found it interesting how before smartphones came about, the phone market had major stakeholders from Europe (that I listed in the original post) and how using a dumbphone OS automatically cuts you off from American big techs (a big theme in this community). Switching to such OS is naturally “solving the problem” by nuking it and as you noticed - impractical for some, but I dunno, found it interesting.

Whether somebody will become a dumbphone martyr in order to exist in this Europe-friendly sector is another thing.

Maybe linkhut then? https://drewdevault.com/2025/03/27/2025-03-27-Using-linkhut.html

HMD feature phones are such a let down.

The Polish language translation within the system is clearly automated translation - the words used sometimes don’t make sense. CloudFone apps are also not available in Europe.

The HMD 110 4G (2024, not 2023) has the Unisoc T127 chipset which supports hotspot, but HMD deliberately chose not to include it. I know because the Itel Neo R60+ has hotspot with the same chipset.

At least they made Nokia XR21 in Europe for a while.

I always wondered why do people use Pocket. I just use bookmarks - for example: on the bookmarks toolbar in my browser, I have a folder named “movies to watch”. I just drag the tabs into that folder. Isn’t that similar to Pocket?

My brain being fried from the brainrot and not being able to comprehend “save to read later” probably also plays a part.
