If they would transfer the in-house software development from the Fairphone 2 to the Fairphone 5, it would be a win for the Fairphone 5 in my book.
How they go about issues and updates on the Fairphone 2 seems to me to work out better overall than the outsourcing done for the successors.

Rossmann has found comprehensive schematics for the Fairphone 4 on the Fairphone website, which he likes.
I wasnā€™t aware of their existence, when were they uploaded? And is there something similar for the Fairphone 3?

Yes Iā€™ve seen ~ yet much like the Fairphone I wouldnā€™t recommend either to any :cry:

  • Everyone ā€˜couldā€™ watch :question:
  • Most phone users are busy taking selfies :slight_smile:
  • Some people already know and donā€™t want to be reminded :see_no_evil:
  • Some Fairphone owners may look at it and feel uncomfortable :scream: :
  • A few users wish they werenā€™t consumesr where anyone and anything suffers at their expense. :om:
  • Not a single person will stop exploitation. :

No, should is what I wanted to say, not could and you dont need to agree to that. My opion is mine, yours is yours, no need to agree.

I did get your tone, I just canā€™t sit by and agree :slight_smile:

Maybe itā€™s myEnglish interpretation and use, [shouldā€™] which is a directive, a command an authoritative control.

Context matters! Typically must is a stronger form than should, however in some circumstances, should is used as an absolute command but is simply ā€˜softerā€™ or more polite

But I see that a lot of people see ā€˜shouldā€™ as advice, but nevertheless a bit pushy.

Sadly I hate the word. Iā€™ve been told a lot of what I should and should not do.

A problem with written text is that it is black and white there is no choice, i.e. text can seem authoritative. So when I use words that can have such a ā€˜definitiveā€™ character I use quote marks to say ā€˜something like thisā€™

In speech telling someone they should do something although authoritative can be challenged and of course there can be better context and tone to moderate the meaning.

Ok, itā€™s a must-see for you then :wink: .

Yes I had already seen it. It just re-enforced my disgust and my dreams/nightmares.

Ignorance is bliss, and if you have lost ignorance there are always ways to loose your mind for a while :slight_smile:

I will keep the link so I can torture my friends when they become a little to easy going.

Itā€™s not quite as bad as showing non vegans abattoir work :see_no_evil:
