I am just the messenger, in fact I am still using my FP3! But I think they seemed pretty transparent about all this and I would give them a pass on good faith.

If it makes feel any better, in Rome yesterday and for a few more days it's going to be +30C indeed.

They provided an answer in the FAQ:

After some of the criticism that we received about removing the headphone jack from Fairphone 4, we did consider bringing it back for Fairphone 5. However, we realised it would be at the expense of increasing the phone’s dimensions. We also looked into the consumer data and Fairphone 4’s weight and thickness were more of an issue than the lack of a minijack, so we decided to keep the same approach, although it was a difficult decision. We didn’t want to invest in OLED technology for the display and then not have improved the phone’s dimensions and weight. But just like with Fairphone 4, we will still offer an adaptor, which has had overall positive user reviews.

Many headphones including our Fairbuds XL, can be connected directly to the Fairphone 5 via a USB-C cable, in addition to Bluetooth.

The whole landscape of health trackers is depressing. I bought a fitbit last year as I could expend it at work, and I ended up leaving it in a drawer exactly for the uneasy feeling of sharing very sensitive data. Health data is probably the most impactful on personal lives (insurances, banks, etc.), and it's astonishing to me how it's too much to ask to a company that makes watches to have watches as their mine business model.

I understand sharing data for further analysis etc., but I should be able to use my health tracker locally, only talking to my phone app and nothing else, similar to how gadgetbridge works. I was eyeing banglejs specifically to be able to do this, even though it's not really a health tracker.

I assumed the "story" was the personal one of Messina-Denaro.

Yes, bit the qualitative difference of providing direct competition to the "grazed" material exists. There is a difference between AI generated audiobooks and AI generated audiobooks with the voice of X, for X. Once AI can perfectly reproduce X's voice, his/her value as a voice actor is 0, hence the "overgrazing". Is not the same thing compared to simply being able to provide audiobooks with any other voice.

While the analogy is not perfect, you can think that the harm is getting lost in the noise. If the "overgrazing" of content on the internet (content which has the purpose of being read/listened/etc. Often for a job) causes a huge amount of other content based on it (AI-generated), then the original is damaged by being lost in the noise.

It's kind of the same in Italian tbh. Granted, I would probably never say "riposa/dormi in pace" without context as a "goodnight", but the example you made (noisy neighbors) or maybe the fact that the friend didn't want to go out due to being tired can lead to the use of that expression. It is still fairly uncommon, but possible (whether or not the post is fake or not).

Many people also fail to make a proper distinction between private and anonymous, which is why some people get mad at the phone number thing.

Definitely docker (well, let's say containers) control the library version, if you didn't build the image specifically not to do that (e.g. fetching dependencies at runtime, which is generally a bad practice and not the default).

However, at build time if you use things like "apt install ..." You will get different versions depending on when you build the image, but once the image is built, you have always the same software inside. Obviously it is very different from nix as they serve very different purposes (one day I will find the motivation to switch to nixOS!).

Conversely, identifying the "right" just with conservatives spewing shit about non-issues is a great present to the "right", you know, the one who actually benefits from a fragmented population (and working class) and deals with much more important issues for its own benefit. Luckily, at the moment this is mostly an american thing, but it's slowly getting imported in Europe too.

To be fair, immigration policies have been more or less the same since the early 2000 in Italy. Some different flavour and different shows between Salvini, Meloni and the rest, but Minniti (from PD) was probably even worse (Libyan concentration camps anybody?).
