Pixels have 7 years of updates. Lol.

Do they have the same level of sustainability or ethical sourcing? No. But they still do uses plenty of recycled materials for its production.

But its a way better phone hardware wise for a price that is very similar. With enough “eco washing” for most people to not give a shit.

Which is a damn shame.

I don’t prefer wireless headphones, as can probably be told by my impassioned argument. But I also recognize the convenience of them, even if I think it’s not that much of a convenience over a pair of wired earbuds. I just see no reason other than their bottom line why they couldn’t have given us both options.

You already have to make a compromise in your hardware choices when choosing a Fairphone, because their hardware is simply put nowhere nearly as competitive to the other phones out there that compete in their price category, with the longevity of their updates as well. That singular choice demonstrated to me that the compromise you have to make for a more sustainable phone is ultimately not worth it, because they’re willing to sacrifice their sustainability in order to push sales of another one of their own products.

No because wireless headphones are not sustainable.

Also and this is my opinion they don’t compete at a disadvantage because of their sustainability. They compete at a disadvantage because they have yet to make a phone with hardware that actually makes them worth buying. They’re whole selling point is sustainability but nothing else makes their phones worth while when there are other players in the industry with better hardware at the same price and with software updates for close to the same length as fairphone.

So to me when their whole brand is focused on sustainability and you have to give up better hardware for that yet they make a whole unsustainable decision and remove the one feature that most phones has dropped for “industry standards” why would i ever consider the company?

Never called them evil. Id probably put it closer to misguided.

They are battling for industry standards? Yet they just follow the industry trend?? Which is it? imo you can’t have both.

It just informed me of the fact they if they were tasked with doing something for their consumers and longevity or doing something for their bottom line they are gonna pick their bottom line. Right now most their bottom line benefits from being “eco aware” telling you they will be in it for the long haul. But I don’t really trust that will always be the case cause they already showed what corner they thought they could cut and still keep users “happy”. Influence And Money destroys most.

Wireless headphones are destined to be landfill waste practically from the day they are made. Just because they made theirs a little user serviceable doesn’t negate the fact that when the Bluetooth codec on em gets too old or incompatible they will be trash. Unlike wired headphones which don’t need to rely on any of that and can last basically as long as you take care of them or the physical materials degrade.

It’s just bullshit to me. There was no reason to do it other than industry trends and their want to sell their own wireless headphones (another industry trend).

There was no reason they couldn’t do both keep a headphone jack and sell wireless headphones. But they looked at the bottom line and went with the option that was good for their pockets, not their consumers.

I don’t give a shit about what fairphone does anymore. They removed the headphone jack to follow trends and sell their own pos wireless earbuds.

Just another company attempting to leverage its green messages to get more sales.

Lmao i get ur point bud. But it seems you don’t get mine? Plus really are ads the issue for you? Plenty of easy ways to never see them. Also their ad tradeoff for it being free is a better compromise to me than paying for a search engine.

I just think the idea of kagi is niche proposal considering the needs of most ppl from a search engine. I just don’t think its the value proposition you are spouting but go off lol.

Free considering duckduckgo covers almost all the same bases. I just don’t think kagi has a compelling argument especially for the type of searching the average person does. Maybe if you have a career that revovles more around research.

And duckduckgo is free. Its interesting that they don’t make any comparisons to free privacy focused search engines. Cause they still don’t have a compelling argument for me to use and pay for their search. But i aint no researcher so maybe it worth it then 🤷‍♂️

5 bucks a month for a search engine is ridiculous. 25 bucks a month for a search engine is mental institution worthy.

More accurately it is a Melamine platter. We use this exact type and design in our catering op.

Jesus Christ this place is worse than reddit sometimes. You said all that bullshit to try and feel right over a comment correcting a typo of a fucking hamburger weight. While i was just joking around. Go touch grass seriously

Lmao it aint a "situation " its a comment thread on lemmy. It ain’t that serious

So angry for no reason lmao. Chill put brudda i was just having some fun lol it aint that serious

Oh no the edit police for a typo lmao
