Cork-Palestinian solidarity campaign hears calls for a stronger stance by the Irish Government
The recent event in Cork heard from Comedia Tadgh Hickey along with Sinn Fein Councillors
Threshold calls for protection scheme amid rise in landlords withholding deposits
No excuse for this not being legislated against. Its just theft.
Just a third of adults under 40 are homeowners - ESRI
Absolutely shameful statistic
Just under 500 homes delivered in year one of the government's First Home Scheme
This is just shameful. Theres 60k + on the housing list, thousands more homeless and on the streets. The government is acting like 500 is an achievement.
HSE warns swimmers after high bacteria levels found in water off East Cork beach
The HSE has issued an advisory this afternoon
One occupant is being treated by medical personnel
Diageo to put the price of a pint up by another 4 cent
Only in Ireland would the state broadcaster consider this newsworthy 🤣🤣
Leo Varadkar said the mast would be “injurious to the residential amenity of the area”
Fuck NIMBYs
That is fucking crazy. That is basically two orders of magnitudes less than many other social media apps while still having most of the same functions.
Absolutely crazy to me lol
Low to medium graphics settings, 60fps @ 720p or 30fps @ 800p.
Anything in that range or higher and I'm happy
Does it have 3.5mm Headphone jack?
Does it have FM Radio support
Will it be supported for 5+ years
Those are the only features I want beyond the usual repairable, replaceable, FairTrade parts etc.
Also a shutter on the selfie camera or having the option to put a cover on it. The Fairphone 3 has a top bezel that allows enough space to get those cheap sliding camera covers on Amazon. The Fairphone 4 not having that is slightly annoying IMO. I do hope the 5 addresses this. Either bring back the upper bezel (which they won't) or have a physical shutter built in like how some webcams have.
Minor grievances tbf but still
As far as I know, the Fairphone 4 also has analog audio via USB C.
Just wanted to share this. Great video from a great channel that goes in depth about Irish geography.
Wanted to share something a bit different than the usual few news articles I post here. Let me know what ye think
Kenneth Nti is missing since Saturday morning
It looks like St Patrick missed one
Anyone missing a snake lads?
Both for me I cancontinuously make a cracking sound with ankle if I twist my foot around in a circular motion. My knees only crack every few minutes though if I bend down and stand up again
Halo's Forerunners
TES' Dwarven ruins
Assassins Creed's First Civilization
All spring to mind
Also Star Wars' Zeffo / Zeffonians
Cool to see.
I am curious though, does Slackware do anything that other Distros can't?
Is there a reason to choose it over say Debian or Fedora aside from it being around for so long and the nostalgia factor
Access to open source, end to end encrypted technology. Particularly for messaging/ communication.
The camera on the Fairphone 3 is only okay. But there is an upgraded camera module you can buy from Fairphone.
I'm not much of a photographer so it doesn't bother me. But if you take a lot of pictures, it's something to keep in mind.
The picture has Centra brand products. Centra is a chain of Irish convenience stores with a bunch of own brand products.
Also OP mentions being Irish on their profile
'I gotta plan Arthur'
Vanity, marketing and buying shit unnecessarily.
I have a Fairphone 3 that I got in January 2020. Its a great device. I want to using it daily for between 5 to 10 years. And I have no doubt it will do that.
Meanwhile my brother has bought 3 Samsung devices in that time. And each one still works fine. He doesn't need a new phone each time but he will still insist on it.
Teslas build quality has been hit or miss since they came on the market.
I will always respect them for showing people that electric cars can be viable and fun. But nowadays, I would never bring myself to buy one knowing that some of the profit is going towards that fucking imbicile who owns twitter.
While I'm not looking to get a new car rn. Down the road I'd like to consider something like a Toyota BZ4X. The first gen has a few issues that need to be ironed out. But a few years from now, I reckon itl be a great option
That or something like it from Honda. Those two brands are who I trust most in terms of reliablity and build quality if I'm going to make an investment in a new kind of car, I want it to be them.
Boy do I have a phone for you!
Ive been using my Fairphone 3 every single day since January 2020. I did have a vibration motor wear out, but its replaceable so its fine. My battery is a bit iffy now. According to a battery scan app I use, its at 63% health. I'll be replacing that soon too since sometimes it will only charge up to a certain point etc. Still though, on any other phone, that would be a deal breaker, but since I can order a replacemt battery for like 25€, its not an issue.
Only other issue I have is sometimes the screen experiences ghost touches, where it will register a touch on the screen even when I'm not using it. Again, this will be fixed with a replacement later on.
I love my Fairphone and I strongly reccomend it for its repairablity alone. The sustainability and FairTrade aspects are just a bonus IMO.
