People will deny this but this is the only real reason for doing that. The other reason is copying apple, which isn’t really another reason as apple removed it for the first reason. Fairphone just went the extra mile to claim that headphones are wasteful, in essence they’re making an excuse to cover up their reason why and also trying to force others to do it as well.
I would disagree, I couldn’t care less about their work if they didn’t make it foss or at the very least source available because as great as it is they’ll take it with them when they go bankrupt if they don’t share their specs, schematics, and source code, just like the company with those implants for blindness.
That’s why you do the FOSS version, it’s designed to be easily upgradable and customizable to all your needs, and even on old hardware will still accept updates.
Just tried it myself and it doesn’t have any issues at all. It seems like it might be an issue with something else on your end.
Though honestly I’d strongly recommend against using the Official launcher as it has been known to introduce bugs and in general has poorer support for mods. I prefer the MultiMC forks like Prism, which don’t have the bugs the official one does.
Not if you have the DING plugin installed (can be installed either as a plugin from the store or from the repos as a system-wide one) then you can have the icons on your Desktop just like other OSes.
Bit of a late reply: My sister got upset with me because I don’t watch the news so I can’t be angry and scared with her, while she does and also doom-scrolls, which I keep telling her to stop doing because it’s bad for her health to be so stressed out, and she has enough to be stressed about with how badly behaved my nephews are.
It very likely is an Astroturfing campaign to try and get more users.
But then they’ll be comfortable in there, because it’s soft and padded as opposed to cold and hard.
Didn’t he unban and stick up for somebody who posted CSAM to the site? (I’ll try and find the article with it, if anybody else knows what it is feel free to reply with it).
Edit: Here it is
The ad funded model is dying AKA endless free money is dying, it doesn’t work because there’s no real business there it works based on the empty promise of making money elsewhere on the products they are selling without any guarantee that the advertisement is what’s making them the money. The analytics are starting to tell them that it’s not as good of an investment as they once thought. Advertisement has become overvalued, that’s why people are saying that there is a bubble and that it’s going to burst, just like it happened before with the dotcom crash.
In other words a platform like YouTube is already very flawed. Sure you can make alternative video sharing platforms and you can get them by on donations (or maybe even nationalize it in some places) but that money making component for creators isn’t something that can be as easily replicated. They can do sponsorships, they can ask for donations, but donations are hardly anything to live by unless you’re famous, and sponsorships can have the same problem as the aforementioned over-inflated ad revenue.
You can spoof it as Chrome because it’s a bias towards other browsers that aren’t chrome, regardless of whatever bullshit statements they put out to avoid getting sued or otherwise in trouble.
So basically it’s security through obscurity, since once people know they can and will edit it out, especially those who want to use it for deception.
That’s good, I’ve usually found the flat ones made with sheet metal are weaker and more bendable than ones made from steel wire, or just using the small sized paper clips. Which is problematic because I like to keep them in my bag in case I need to use them and if they end up bent up it’s not great.
I think the reason the ones I’ve gotten fared so poorly is because they’re aluminium as opposed to steel like the paper clips. Which always fair better in my bag than the flat stamped ones do.
Paper clip is better, these things are very flimsy, but also phones and Tablets don’t always come with them.
I think it’s meant for people who currently use ABP, uBlock, or one of the other countless bad ones as opposed to the far superior uBlock Origin, or Adnauseam.
What’s often left out is people are uninstalling terrible ad blockers and installing better ones. The terrible ones allow certain ads (from advertisers who pay to get through) or even inject their own ads.
Some disinformative articles are trying to use that to claim that because people are uninstalling [insert bad scammy adblocker name] that people are uninstalling adblockers altogether.

You’re not wrong, lots of people on Lemmy.world just really kiss up to fairphone because of their perceived betterness in other ways. Just because they claim to be doing some things better doesn’t mean they aren’t doing anything wrong or scummy.
Also I bet there’s quite a few apple fanboys here who support copying apple in removing features, for some strange reason.
