  • I bought the FP3, then upgraded it to an FP3+ when the camera broke. Never had as much fun with a phone before or since. It has been my daily driver for years and it did everything well enough, if a bit slow. My friends either get new phones or use them despite visible damage because they can’t fix them. Now I ordered the FP5 to have the 3+ as a backup and test setup and I am confident I will use the FP5 for 3-6 years again :)

    Fairphones are like an odd car: There are sleeker, faster, cheaper and maybe just better alternatives around. However you still like it and just learn where to hit it with a hammer when it starts making funny noises. If you can afford it and like odd devices, it’s for you.


  • Star Trek: Picard, when the Borg wake up and the Romulans just vacuum them out. In that moment the Cube should have automatically teleported them back inside. If the teleporters were down for some reason, the remaining Drones would just happily continue working in hard vacuum and proceed to assimilate the shit out of the Romulans. What happened was an uncalled for nerf of the Borg.











  • Turns out it exists in gdb, although in a limited scope!

    #include <iostream>
    
    int main() {
      int a = 0;
      std::cout << "before: " << a << std::endl;
      a += 1;
      std::cout << "after: " << a << std::endl;
      return 0;
    }
    

    Compile with g++ -g and run gdb a.out

    (gdb) run
    before: 0
    after: 1
    [Inferior 1 (process 10976) exited normally]
    (gdb) break 1
    Breakpoint 1 at 0x5555555551d5: file main.cpp, line 6.
    (gdb) run
    Breakpoint 1, main () at main.cpp:6
    6	  int a = 0;
    (gdb) jump +3
    Continuing at 0x55555555521b.
    after: 0
    [Inferior 1 (process 10979) exited normally]

  • This is great. It suddenly feels like the internet of 2003 again, with small communities popping up, competition and less of a corporate chokehold. Only this time they have a shared login and crosstalk, which was sorely lacking back then. If we are lucky this event might establish a stable, new part of the internet, which is separate from the consolidated platforms. The Fediverse doesn’t have to replace sites like reddit, just be a next step for people fed up with the corporate net (corponet?).
