It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile.
For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.
Goes both ways, I’d be happy if more calls would simply fail midway.
“What a shame, better write an e-mail.”
No one was arguing the other way…
Ah yeah, I love writing emails back and forth for 5 days to do what could be accomplished in a 5 minute phone call.
The future of industry is doomed with gen z being militantly unwilling to take a phone call. But I am holding onto some hope because I hear they’re also spearheading the CD music revival, so I just hope they also recognise the retro-coolness of telecommunication.
Otherwise, the art of verbal communication will die. People will meet and connect via text, only to be completely overwhelmed when they meet irl and have to talk to one another face to face. But social life is inconsequential. However, at the end of the day, if you can’t talk on the phone for the purpose of business communication, your just a fucking pussy.
We clearly have different communication partners. Most of the issues of mine are solved by them thinking about it. Writing an e-mail forces them to.
WTF is a “communication partner”?
Anything you email me gets lots in a sea of bullshit imploding in my inbox. Just send me a text if it’s not urgent or doesn’t require discussion or you just don’t like me.
that sounds like a different, bigger issue.
Nope, it’s the same issue. Your calls are not lost in my inbox.
no. the issue is that your inbox is full of unclassified spam
Weird, my phone isn’t full of unclassified spam.
Well the way you write I’m not surprised people don’t like you.
LOL because yours was so much nicer?
kind of, yeah
