Technology@lemmy.ml•Fairphone 3 gets 7 years of updates, besting every other Android OEM
11·2 years agoMy last phone I kept for about 5 years. I had two issues:
- software support had ended
- the battery was severely degraded
fortunately there was a local shop who’d replace the battery (it wasn’t a fairphone so I couldn’t do it myself). If it wasn’t for the software support I’d have gone that route and would be still using it now. It worked perfectly well for my use case. Unfortunately, I ended up retiring the phone and getting a new one.
I’ve found this too. Generally if I’m okay waiting for the answer I’ll try and find the relevant lemmy community and ask that question there instead of clicking the reddit links. There are times though I simply need the answer and so of course I do click the reddit link.
Even so, if we all try and ask the questions we have here Lemmy will eventually be the place you find this information

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How many people here have actually used XMPP?
9·2 years agoI used it a lot, not through Google’s gchat stuff, I ran my own XMPP server. It worked really well, I used the OTR encryption plugin in pidgeon. My work also used to use xmpp for internal chat within the company, however they switched to matrix like 5-6 years ago. Something I’ve since done personally too.
I like XMPP a lot, it worked well, including it being federated.

Europe@feddit.de•Air France denied my delay compensation so i challenged them and won.English
1·2 years agoYou can see all your rights when flying on the europa.eu website, it’s a really good resource. As Jacob said though, it is 3 hours before you get compensation.

KDE@lemmy.kde.social•#KDE releases "KDE for Travellers" a guide to KDE tools (and other FLOSS utilities) to assist you on your tripsEnglish
1·2 years agoI’ve just used Itinerary for a few flights I needed to take and it worked really well. I love these really high quality mobile apps KDE are making!

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People around the world, do you drink tap water without boiling?English
1·2 years agoI live in Sweden. Yeah, the tap water is clean and can be drank straight from the tap without boiling, filtering, or treatment in the whole country.
I use SMS and Matrix. I’d love to see something like Briar become more popular, or maybe XMPP make a resurgence as it’s been a great federated chat protocol for a long while.
Just looked it up since I was sure I had read they had their own. On their wikipedia article it says:
In its early days on the Internet, the Qwant search engine relied on Bing to provide more relevant results. In 2016, Qwant claimed to be increasingly using its own results from its own exploration robots. It is still at the status of hybrid engine.[89] In 2020, Qwant claimed to have exceeded 50% of independent results for web searches, and 70% for all researchs
so I guess it’s both bing and their own thing.
I think Qwant does too, right?

Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•Your peeler is vulnerable to around a half thousand critical-level vulnerabilitiesEnglish
1·2 years agoWe’ve looked at the user data and carrots just aren’t that popular, so it doesn’t make sense to keep supporting them. We’re working on a new vegetable which we hope to show off sometime new next.
I prefer lichess, i like its analysis tools and the dev seems awesome.
I’m a opensuse tumbleweed user on my desktop and laptop. I also have an ubuntu home server.
I really like tumbleweed, but I have been thinking of switching to an immutable distro like guix or nix. I’ve tried guix several times and found it pretty good, but never stick with it due to its lack of KDE plasma support. Maybe I should give nix a try.
