Kevin has been angry about this for a while, here’s March 2023: https://corporate.ryanair.com/news/ryanair-launches-eu-passenger-petition/

Isn’t this a screenshot of Truspilot reviews for the company called “Nothing”, not Fairphone?

Let’s contain the coming 3.5mm jack jihadists under this reply please

Ah yes the Un-Internet

New food chain just dropped

Also see Fairphone 6 leaked specs, and the phone itself releasing in 2 days. Fairphone 5 is fully supported by Ubuntu Touch no? Or do you mean that Ubuntu Touch as an ecosystem is in general “behind” Android?

I agree that using a dumbphone can be hugely impractical, especially in today’s app centric world. I posted the article to this community because I found it interesting how before smartphones came about, the phone market had major stakeholders from Europe (that I listed in the original post) and how using a dumbphone OS automatically cuts you off from American big techs (a big theme in this community). Switching to such OS is naturally “solving the problem” by nuking it and as you noticed - impractical for some, but I dunno, found it interesting.

Whether somebody will become a dumbphone martyr in order to exist in this Europe-friendly sector is another thing.

HMD feature phones are such a let down.

The Polish language translation within the system is clearly automated translation - the words used sometimes don’t make sense. CloudFone apps are also not available in Europe.

The HMD 110 4G (2024, not 2023) has the Unisoc T127 chipset which supports hotspot, but HMD deliberately chose not to include it. I know because the Itel Neo R60+ has hotspot with the same chipset.

Hopefully this gives more leverage in keeping the river clean. “Well Mr. Company you can’t dump shit into the river, there are people swimming there”. As the article mentions in Denmark they hoisted red flags during incidents, but it puts at least some more public eyes on the issue.

The primary article is more terse: https://techlog.jenslink.net/posts/dns4eu/#but-lets-look-at-their-product

True. Edited the title to bold the “busted” part

First Gigaset sold to South Korea and now this

Did anyone notice their local small companies start making cola alternatives too? In Eastern Poland I can see a cola from the local brewery Waszczukowe and was surprised. Is this an overall trend?

Reading the grant link from the OP - https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/results-2024-call-european-digital-reporting there’s also a second project with ~2M eur which sounds like “Wero for journalism”:

AskEurope The project aims to create a new type of information platform dealing with European affairs, by using innovative formats and forms of distribution. The creation of a database with EU media outlets’ archives, complemented by the integration of an AI-based chatbot, is innovate and will increase the engagement with readers.

To mods: I know this reads like an ad (because it “is”, but I’m just a reader, I’m not releated to them in any way, I just like what they do). It’s a non-profit granted by the European Commission so I hope it’s ok. Put me in secret CIA jail if not

Also here’s a tag from a random Vinted listing:

The “organic” part though doesn’t seem to be mentioned in the product listings on the website? hm

Ah. I guess the functionality descriptions may not be up to speed since it’s just entered testing - that’s how they describe it in the e-mail I got from their newsletter (that it just entered testing). Here they say they don’t apply legal filtering. So the domain the other poster mentioned could be added by mistake
