And then Americans are surprised people aren’t exactly fans of the US… 🤷🤦

Tumblr is a special place

My only gripe with this page is that it’s in the browser and it keeps recognising a back gesture (swipe from the edge of the screen) whenever a word starts with q or p.

You can’t possibly have misunderstood the issue so fundamentally, can you?

Am I too harsh […]?

No. If there’s no way to verify anything then all we have to go on is their word.
The word of a company generally isn’t worth a whole lot. Same with Telegram.

Throwing Fairphone into the pot. They’re well supported by LineageOS and have the additional advantage of being user-repairable.
But they only ship inside Europe.

That’s only useful in commit messages, issue discussions and stuff like that. Why would the devs even make that execute in source files, where it’s all but guaranteed to be a false match??

Camera and baseband seem to be the general pain points. Somewhat unsurprisingly, given that both are complicated black box devices.

A few of things I’d look out for:

• Bluetooth protocol. Many Bluetooth headsets switch to a low-bandwidth but full-duplex mode when used as a headset. As a result you can hear and be heard at the same time, but at abysmal quality. Think old phone. You want a headset that supports at least AptX, which supports full-duplex communication at reasonable bandwidth and thus quality.
• Spatial audio. Don’t bother! It’s a non-issue that you can replicate in software, with the help of pipewire. I wouldn’t spend money on it.
• I’d stay away from proprietary 2.4GHz connectors and stick with plain Bluetooth, as that doesn’t require a specialised driver that possibly requires support from the vendor.

And are vol-canoes flying canoes?

Left Arch for Nix. Sorry, bae. 😔
Can you draw Nix next?
