I don’t want a new phone.

Fairphone is a good idea.
They do need to make a smaller phone that people with smaller hands (like 50% of the population) can use without repetitive stress injuries.
The trend towards phones being massive fondleslabs is ableist as hell, I said what I said.
@akareilly Yes, I need a smaller phone for fuck sake..... I need a small phone with Android for just daily use.....
But obviously some companies want it also to be your entertainment system and that seems to drive up the size. — Vi

@akareilly yes, I hate those huge phones and I want to keep using my small smartphone for as long as possible (probably changing the battery once in while)

@Jul451 @akareilly According to the company (Fairphone), smaller phones are hard to realize because smaller displays are harder/much more expensive to source nowadays (so only giant sellers like Apple are able to offer smaller devices). While Fairphones grew ever bigger until the FP5, the FP6 returned to FP3ish dimensions, see https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fairphone-dimensions-and-weights/101845?u=wearefairphone You might want to consider a fingerloop accessory. /u

@akareilly yes but what percent of humanity also wants what you want and is willing to pay extra for it?
@codinghorror
Is it really more expensive ? I mean not as an individual but as a society (since we're talking about percentages of humanity)

@akareillyIf the alternative is relying on child labour and funding genocides, we as a society need to get our shit together on this issue.
Oh no the billionaires will end up with less yacht money.

and yet my hands remain as small as ever

@glent @akareilly It should be made easier by the fact that the entire source tree for the latest firmware should be available to read.
In my mind, it allows the firmware to continue to receive updates that are managed and maintained by the community, not necessarily starting from scratch on a new OS.
Both options are just a dream until the world’s governments get serious about right-to-repair legislation that makes it happen.
