  • A repairable phone is the most important thing. I could buy a used flagship, but the battery will be trashed. I used to buy a phone every 2 years but now I just buy a battery every 2 years. I can use my phone knowing that if anything breaks I can have a replacement part in within a week, and I don't have to spend 100€s to ship it to some repair shop in a different part of the country.

    Fairphone 4 and 5 are also the only smartphones certified by the Swedish unions: https://tcocertified.com/product-finder/index?category=Smartphones

  • Yeah, I mean Rust is only verbose if you want it to be. let foo = "bar"; is valid rust too, no need to declare the type and definitely no need to declare the lifetime.

    For that matter, if you ever declare something as explicitly 'static in code that isn't embedded or super optimized, you're probably doing it wrong.

  • That is not the argument stated in the article

    Sánchez argued that Spain doesn't need to spend 5 percent of its GDP to fulfill its so-called capability targets, meaning new objectives of weapons inventory agreed by NATO defense ministers earlier this month.

    He also wrote that a 5 percent defense spending goal would jeopardize the country’s welfare system, force the government to increase taxes on the middle class, scale back commitments to the green transition and curtail international development cooperation.

    “It is the legitimate right of every government to decide whether or not they are willing to make those sacrifices,” he wrote.

    Rushing to 5 percent would also force Madrid to buy off-the-shelf equipment instead of fostering its own industrial base, as well as take money away from welfare policies, Sánchez also wrote.

    The Spanish Socialist party is in a coalition with the junior left-wing Sumar party, which opposes increased defense spending and whose members are expected to attend a counter-summit for peace in parallel to the NATO summit.

  • According to Calyx, the issue is that AOSP does not support any phones out of the box anymore, even though AOSP 15 supported Pixel phones out of the box. Graphene speculates that this may be a proactive measure preparing for an Android/Pixel split in a future Google antitrust break up.

    It's not the death of Calyx and Graphene, but it is a symptom of the dire state of AOSP. OSes like Sailfish, Purism, and PostmarketOS need to see better support and provide viable alternatives to proprietary OSes like Android and iOS.

  • Ok, but then I'm just gonna give your car a little kick so you know you're hurting my ears.

    Kidding, but yeah it can be really annoying, and also many drivers don't blip their horn like you're saying, and instead give a full honk. Anybody walking nearby gets an earache, and anybody living or shopping nearby has to deal with the noisy environment created. Probably better to just flash your highbeams or be more patient. The horn is not meant to police other drivers or signal noncritical information, you don't see people honking every time someone is texting while driving, or driving with their lights off.

  • Real talk, don't honk unless there is a danger of crashing.

    Yes, the driver in front of you should not have their phone out. No, that does not give you the right to take your rage out on everyone in the surrounding neighborhood because you're mad about having to wait 10 seconds to start driving again.

    Don't drive into a city and act like you have the right to be as loud as you want.
