  • Is the internet scarier?

    Or is it just millennials and “internet natives” having kids and more of them knowing better what the internet actually is.

    I tell people to imagine a public place with everyone in it, the majority wearing masks or costumes. With constantly recording surveillance. Do you take off your mask.

    Sure the mask is not perfect protection, and there are areas off to the side where people seem to not be wearing masks. But go ahead and choose a way to keep your kids safe.





  • Well I’ve got a solution for you!

    Just insert this adapter into the 3.5mm jack and it will be blocked for you. It’ll no longer be wasted space because this adapter is a useful place to store several grains of rice for a snack.

    Unfortunately you do lose a feature as a result of using this adapter, it will stop one of the speakers from working and degrade your audio quality.

    But you shouldn’t complain about anything removing a feature, or degrading your audio quality. You’ve got a new feature of being able to store rice!

    You can even buy special fairphone sustainable rice from us. With only a small 300% mark up but an incredible 80% of the sustainability of already available rice. It comes in green!









  • Fedora 40 (KDE) branched has it. Working great.

    Current final release scheduled for 16th April.

    So if you want to try it out. Get the branched Fedora release. Note: Currently pre-beta by about a week. At own risk.

    Also some good stuff with AMD support and Wayland too.

    Any time you want to leap on early the Fedora branched release is available and with update policy that will become beta and then stable Fedora 40 automatically.


  • Portugal. They’ve essentially been doing this for years.

    Drugs are decriminalised and in themselves legal.

    It’s still technically a crime to use them but generally you are treated as a patient with addiction. Not a criminal.

    There’s still a massive body of criminal law around supplying, and producing them.

    So they are not dismantling controls on drugs but targeting the issues drugs cause instead of criminalising users needlessly.

    Not perfect there but certainly lessons to be learnt.
