I often played with the thought of buying a fair phone, but in the end it’s just too expensive for me. I usually buy used devices for about 150€ from eBay and flash a custom ROM to get rid of google. If I can use that phone for 3 years I am happy. This way I am doing something for the environment and do not support mining of critical minerals in Congo etc.
But yeah, apart from Fair phone almost all devices are very, very hard to repair on purpose, and you need a lot of tools and a but of luck ;)

Happy cake day!

I just quoted the wiki article you shared, so that’s where I got my information from. I already said I am glad about every single person protesting. No idea why you are being so aggressive.

I would like to end the discussion at this point. So if you like you can formulate an answer, but I will likely not respond.

I know, that’s why I pointed out that your numbers were totally off.

I looked through the numbers of the other states in the article you shared and they all look the same. 4,000 in Colorado was max, most of the others are “a few hundred protesters”

Cool, so do the Americans.

Maybe, but this is not reflected in the article you shared.

Germans are usually very well versed in history, what about a fascist dictator rising to power surprises you?

No idea what you are talking about. I am just saying it seems that most of the US seems to be paralyzed.

I just changed the USB port of my Motorola because it was broken AF. I always had to tweak around for 5 minutes to get the cable stable enough for loading, it sucked. I bought the spare part for 17,90€ on eBay. It was a struggle removing the back cover, but now I have a mobile for another 2 years!

I just took the first states alphabetically. In Germany we have protests against fascism just before our elections, the fascists are at 20% in the polls and we get 10,000s of people on the streets with protests in more than 60 cities.

But don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to downplay the US protests, I am glad about every single soul on the streets. It’s just that I am shocked about the realities across the pond.

Alabama More than 200 protesters gathered outside Alabama’s Statehouse

Alaska An estimated 123 people gathered outside Alaska’s capitol building

Arkansas Approximately 200 protesters gathered on the outside Arkansas’s capital

California During the February 5 protest, over 1,000 protesters gathered near the west steps of California’s capitol building

Florida Around 300 protesters gathered outside the Florida State Capitol

…I mean seriously?

When I left university, which is like 6 years ago, we used distilled water. As tap water does not usually have a pH of 7 but can vary between 6.5 and 9 (depending on location), it makes absolutely no sense for me to use it for rinsing. However this may depend on your device and application, as for household level like measuring plant water or something tap water could be sufficient.

What’s infuriating here? You almost never get a reason why you have been declined (if they even answer you). So I find this message pretty nice and polite… Or am I overlooking something?

It sucks, but it’s also one positive thing about the Fediverse - if Lemmy was a central platform, it would be completely gone for you now.
