Looks like a cheap Cyberpunk knockoff, and come on… there is no way Berlin will look like that in 2087.

The cpu, ram, screen, camera etc is pretty much the same specs, but the SoC went from an industrial grade one to a consumer grade one. Furthermore the FP6 only has USB2 and no display out. And last but not least, while the battery in the FP6 is a bit bigger, it is now a strange custom shape that you will never be able to find a new 3rd party replacement for in a few years, meaning all you will be able to buy is old stock from Fairphone itself that has already degraded to a certain extend.

Not overly surprised that the FP5 is more expensive, given that in many aspects the FP6 was a downgrade.

The wiki for the FP5 referrs to the stable branch afaik. Audio and calls are basically working, but as I said, the devil is in the details, like audio routing for calls and such. I wouldn’t be overly surprised if similar issues apply to the FP6 port.

I have a “close to viable on PmOS” Fairphone5 for 3 years now… sadly the devil is in the detail.

This would be so much nicer with PostmarketOS or Mobian, but as the article explains the Termux option is nearly always the only option 😭

We have that too. Maybe the new fork that we are using is doing that slightly different from other versions and that somehow breaks in your browser?

Ubuntu Touch is probably the better option, and with so much of SailfishOS still closed source, it is hard to put much trust in the medium term viability of that OS as the company clearly struggles to keep vital components up to date.

You realize why it is so hard to keep public git forges online these days, right?

If I remember correctly, Apple makes it really hard to bridge iMessage and they implemented some sort of hardware check and even disallowed older versions of MacOS or so. As usual, they really like to lock people into their ecosystem.

P.S.: something is wrong with that link you shared.

Yeah, there is some issue on our end, but sadly it isn’t clear what might be causing it.

That seems hard to enforce, and most of the small repair shops that did exist 10+ years back have closed now for various reasons.

Seems not too bad. It seems to boot with mainline Linux (or at least Ubuntu ISOs) and the vendor releases patches for recent kernel versions, which is much better than most ARM SoCs.

Cool, let us know how it goes and maybe also see if the power consumption has improved with more recent kernel versions.

Seems indeed relatively good value for money, but how is the mainline Linux kernel support for that SoC?

Edit: also in the early reviews people found some strangely high idle power consumption, which really isn’t good for a home server.

Lemmy.world sends your post to slrpnk.net if someone there is subscribed to this community and thus I can see it in my client just as any other local post.

Pretty sure you misremember, as Lemmy.cafe also requires registration to be used. There are some independant frontends (web-clients) that can be used with different Lemmy instances, but for password security reasons I strongly recommend to only use the ones hosted by the instance you have your account on, because otherwise you are basically sharing your password with whoever runs that frontend.

1. Yes, you need a new account
2. Not sure, maybe there is a setting
3. Federation makes it possible to interact with lemmy.world from slrpnk.net

That is not my understanding of the timeline. Yes, they asked their members to vote on it a month ago. But these votes take time, and once the vote was settled and the ToS adapted they immediatly put up the banner.

It is not my argument, but the official stance of the US copyright office and some other similar bodies around the world.

But yes, it poses some interesting philosophical questions, but those are not of very high relevance to copyright law.
