Anyone here using `FAIRBUDS XL
` are they worth it?

Mon Fairphone est mort, vive Fairphone! Ou pas. Je suis (très) déçue par l'entreprise, qui reste lucrative.

Voici pourquoi.

Nécrologe d’un Fairphone

Grenoble: Install Party + Rencontre FairPhone (sur inscription), Le mardi 18 mars 2025 de 19h00 à 21h00. https://www.agendadulibre.org/events/31720 #installParty #logicielLibres #guilde #rencontre #fairphone #gnuLinux #linux

Although expensive to what I always paid for a mobile, the Fairphone seems an interesting option, mainly because of the *fair* part. If it is really a fairer phone, it has a cost.

Now deciding between the original Fairphone (@Fairphone), possibly 5, but still considering the 4, or the one with Murena (@murena), €50+ in this case.

P. S. I went for a Fairphone 5. I hope it can arrive next week before my vacation.

Aujourd'hui on commande un #fairphone 5

The ear piece on my #fairphone broke the other day. Three days layer the replacement part arrived, and using nothing but an old bank card for a spudger and a single screwdriver I was able to disassemble parts of the phone, replace the earpiece and reassemble it all. This is genius!

Also found out about #Citronics which creates single board computers using recirculated phone parts (has a deal with Fairphone company) which is a very cool bit of #upcycling if you ask me. :D

Ciao, sapete indicarmi qualche marchio di device (smartphone, notebook, etc.) di design/produzione #europea e/o attenti ad una produzione sostenibile? Conosco solo #fairphone e mi pare di capire faccia un buon lavoro.

How is everyone getting on if they use #fairphone ? I am thinking of switching from Apple to this. I see the supply chain ethics are a bit better than apple etc. So I figure it's worth doing. But what OS? Would banking apps, and card payments via NFC work in LineageOS? Or do ppl use /e/OS?

Fairphone babies.

In August 2023, Fairphone bought Cobalt Credits worth $12000 to cover our total cobalt consumption that year, as part of a pilot program we initiated with the Fair Cobalt Alliance.

A year and a half later, we are getting to see how that money was actually used, benefitting the Kamilombe mining community in the DRC. While we are aware that $12000 isn’t a massive sum, the impact it has had on the 5000+ miners at Kamilombe is truly encouraging to say the least.
