  • You’re right that Fairphone’s supply chain is not fully sustainable. In fact, I remember reading an interview with the founder where he admitted that poor sustainability and labour practices are so entrenched in the industry that it was impossible to actually make a “fair” Fairphone. (Incidentally, this is why the company uses the word “fair*[er]*” to describe the phones.)

    Yeah, I would definitely agree that a used phone is a much more environmentally-friendly choice than a brand-new one. The amount of customers who are going to ditch their 1 or 2 year old phone for this “sustainable” phone will unfortunately not be zero…






  • As someone who listens to a lot of obscure music, I’m amazed at Soulseek’s variety of content. I’ve searched up albums and comps that have all but disappeared off the face of the earth, and have always found an uploader with a complete share.

    I don’t know if the rooms are really worth it. You only get the messages starting when you logged in, so you can’t catch up to what happened before; this problem is particularly relevant because most rooms are dead; those that aren’t dead consist of a lot of vicious arguments; and it’s live chat anyway, never my favorite format for discussion.

    Yeah, don’t bother with chatrooms. I’m on Nicotine+, and the respective room is always filled with 4chan shit. It’s a shame that everything else is dead, since I’d appreciate the thought of having a conversation while waiting for my files to download.
