hey everyone. if you want to post links or discuss the Reddit blackout today, please localize it to this thread in order to keep things tidy! Thanks!
FairPhone 4.
Great phone that supports LineageOS, postmarketOS, CalyxOS and a few others.
The bootloader can be unlocked and re-locked without penalty. You can remove the battery without issue. It’s designed to be repairable by the owner (but good luck finding parts has been my experience).
I love mine.
part of the blame is the UI and auto refresh, I have been click thread that says one thing and then suddenly when open it up it becomes a different one. (I am the many tab user, so I just middle click and view a couple threads one by one. ) good thing lemmy’s traffic is still quite low, otherwise it would be really hard to find the one you tried to read.
Yeah, my Lemmy instance is doing something weird where I open the link, see the comments, and then the linked article changes while the comments stay the same.
This post is informative but I fail to see how it relates to reddit. Did you post under the wrong thread?
I also love my Fairphone, but what does this have to do with the reddit blackouts?
bootloader can be… re-locked
Yes, but iirc they configured their verified boot setup incorrectly (using the keys Google provides publicly for debug/testing purposes instead of their own secret ones) so someone can easily bypass verified boot and install whatever OS or root kit or whatever they want on your phone if they get physical access to it without the phone detecting that and erasing your personal info. That’s why GraphineOS doesn’t support the fairphone IIRC.
