The heartbreaking part is that the point he is making lowers the impact because of who is saying it.

Hamas is a result of hoe Israël has been handling the issue for decades now.
I’m not saying Hamas is fine, great, innocent or anything. Far from it. But the blame is on both sides.
True, but him talking about it diminishes the impact of these words. Lowers the bar so to speak.
I think Netflix would simply see that as a nice extra benefit. But the main reason is to “stick it” to the writers/actors. Without incurring the wrath of customers for the price hike themselves, they will just point their finger…
Perhaps, and this is very cynical of me, they are thinking, how can we make folks feel bad against the writers and actors?
It’s the only reason for the price hike I think.
I would actually pay for Youtube Premium Family, where it not for the fact that it does not work with gsuite accounts (which I have for my family).
We have spotify for the family, and I would cancel that and switch to youtube and music premium of google. For three dollars more we get ad-less youtube as well as music.
Sorry google, gotta pay attention to these things.
I second that request, I need to know more and read more about all of this and all of the sides, before I know what I’m talking about.
I remember there used to be an idea floating around of paying pennies for sending email a few years ago. It would combat spam, since it would not be economically viable to send millions of emails. It failed; since it would kill email, no-one wanted to pay and lock access rights to a certain group of people.
Elon is claiming he wants this for combating bots and scraping. Whether true or not, he will realize soon enough though that people will not pay for it. (Perhaps even find out it’s not bots, but actual people downvoting him)
(At the same time, it’s a bad thing we do not want to pay for good journalism/info, it leads to free ad-riddled sites with shitty click-baity content. The good stuff is behind paywalls, and therefore not available to the general public. This leads to a breeding ground for conspiracy theories. Since those are available for free (they want the message out there) and the actual researched stuff is hidden behind those paywals)
Most people will switch smartphones anyway. Nothing you or I can do about it I’m afraid.
Better we get then hooked on fairphone then.
If you can sell or give the old phone to someone else, they are also displacing a non-fair phone. So filling the market with fairphones (That are still supported) is a GOOD thing. And you are still supporting the company, and all the people they pay as well.
I pre-ordered already.
Ok, so honesty time: The fact that this company is good for the environment, pays people well, etc… is NOT my main “thing” for wanting to own this phone.
It’s the fact that it is open. I can unlock and flash whatever I want, I can fix things by ordering replacement parts, a new screen is TOTALLY do-able both price wise and doing it myself.
Also it does not come with bloat, or vendor-lock in software like on ALL samsung shitty phones.
Out of all the phones, this one makes the most sense.
(And my current FP4 goes to my mother, perfect for her and many more years of support)
My wife cannot say enough good things about my nutsac. Holds everything we need while on the road.
I’ve got the larger 13" nutsac, which does impress everyone who sees it.
No it turns off as soon as you take the battery out ;-) All in all no more then 20 seonds, including starting back up (10 seconds for just replacing the battery). I don’t mind it. Especially since now I do not have to carry a larger powerbank and cable.
So I’m from the Netherlands. My wife and I have this phone. We also have the framework laptop and “repeat audio” headphones (https://repeat.audio/, which are also repairable)
After owning and breaking a few phones and apparal that I could not fix, was hard to get serviced, and got stuck with repair bills I was done. Plus, I’m in a well-paying job (IT) so I figured; if anyone is capable of voting with my money, it’s me.
I did install lineageos, and I use Linux on my frameworks. But the phone is simply wonderfull! I have an extra battery in my nutsack (https://nutsac.com/) so when I need it, I can swap battery’s in like 10 seconds and continue my day with a full battery (https://shop.fairphone.com/shop/fairphone-4-battery-22?category=4#attr=)
My wife already broke the screen ;-) which was a 5 minute job to switch with simple tools. Absolutely wonderfull
Please keep your faith to yourself, we have too many as it is.
