Probably the gun industry lobbying for this 🫢

If it’s MY car why would adverts be in it? What’s next, adverts in my shed?

Modularity and accessiblity costs more in research, design and testing but there are many factors to the purchase price. The question is if a lower price is actually cheaper if you would be replacing it over and over again.

Personally I don’t think the industry will change until consumers value more than just the price.

The warranty is 2 years. Warranty is the confidence a company has that it will last as long as that. Batteries eventually die, so that is the one part in mobile devices we can guarantee needs to be replaced.

Manufacturers make bigger devices difficult to repair - so it being a small form factor is just an excuse. When they try and it fails then is the time to consider if it’s feasible. Fairphone products are probably average at best but you can at least replace the batteries in a small device like their earbuds (Fairbuds), and assume they will get better at making their repairable devices.

Who’s expecting a computer to last about 2 years?

Perhaps not a takeover so much as a betrayal, a backstabbing? Certainly hostile to the community.

In 2022, maintainers (…) founded the company Gitea Limited with the goal of offering hosting services using (proprietary) versions of Gitea. (…).

What, you can’t have war if there are no people?

I’d like to watch but something makes me paralyzed when I anticipate the confrontation.

Sadly I think they have to aim to do both, to make the most money as a publically traded company.

Last I heard Apple was protecting it’s users from Facebook collecting their data… by being the ones who collect it instead. Maybe that not quite right as I don’t listen to news on Apple (outside of their opposition to right to repair).

Something tells me that could easily change.

This personnel computer

Wait, a proprietary OS is someone else’s computer?

It’s a reference to ⛳ Tiger Woods PGA tour 2004

I tried searching for this but couldn’t find it, thanks.
