This is quite trivial to work around by just tunneling/VPN'ing to a IPv6 tunnel broker. Yes it's not really efficient but it will work especially if the only thing you use it for is communications. It's actually no different to TURN (if you were behind a restrictive NAT), just that your TURN provider is now the tunnel broker and is independent of your communications service.

The problem is that there's no money to be made here, so no software is built to take advantage of end-to-end connectivity. Even if you could get IPv6 right now (and you can with tunneling/VPN), what are you going to do with it? Big tech is quite happy with the loss of end-to-end connectivity since it enforces the need for a middleman, and they have no reason to make it easier for you to regain your independence.

The ISP is still "evaluating" IPv6 because there's just no real end-user demand because besides ideology or specific requirements of a technical minority there just isn't any reason for the average user to need it. If tomorrow every OS came with a built-in SIP client that actually worked and there was an actual successful deployment of consumer-grade SIP, demand for IPv6 would skyrocket and the ISP would get their act together or start losing customers over it. But there will never be a built-in SIP client because Big Tech would rather have you use FaceTime or MS Teams or Skype than some open protocol that doesn't require a middleman nor isn't vulnerable to advertising nor tracking.
I was so happy when I saw the price. Yes it's above what I am usually willing to pay but if you take into account for how long you will use it, it would be absolutely ok. In addition with all the good you do by choosing a more sustainable phone, even more so.

Sadly the size is a no go for me. I have a Pixel 4a still and am super happy with the device and I can't deal with anything bigger than that. Maybe a little bigger but not 6.46 inches. I mean come on. I have big hands but I want to be able to put it in my pants pockets.

Fast food burgers are always lop-sided. It's just been photographed from the 'bits falling out' side.
Refurbished is already a market. Anyone who wants that can choose such a phone. For those who want a new device (you'll need people to buy those, if you want there to be a second hand or refurbished market), there is Fairphone. I don't see that as greenwashing at all.

> You will be more environmentally friendly if you just don't upgrade from whatever phone you have for a few years.

I'm not going to buy a new phone if I'm not in the market, that much should be obvious for anyone? Probably doubly so for the people willing to buy a Fairphone.
Obair mhaith! Not what I was expecting to see on Hacker news this morning. How does it work? Are you translating Irish speech to English text and sending to chat gpt? Are there API's that can transcribe Irish speech?!
Using an industrial chipset makes sense if you're trying to build phones with long-term software support.
Are they discontinuing support for their previous phones any sooner? Are they cutting the warranty for them or stopping holding parts for them?

Does the existence of a Fairphone 5 make any practical difference to an owner of an FP4? Or is it just the concern that some people will think, "Wah, this isn't the company's latest phone any more!" and upgrade sooner than they might otherwise?

50 years ago, this place where I live was a socialist country and we built HUGE apartment building neighbourhoods (literally thousands of apartments) + all the infrastructure needed (schools, kindergardens, stores, parks,...).

After 1991 all of this has stoped.

I don't know where you are from, but when was the last time you guys built a new neighbourhood for 10, 20 thousand people to live in? Because i've been all over both always-capitalist and former-socialist countries (mostly europe), and most of them are old with just a few newer buildings, mostly replacing the demolished old ones. It really doesn't matter, slovenia (my home), or germany... you see a bunch of large apartment blocks built in the same style, for many many people to live in, and you just know it was built somewhere between 1960s and late 1980s, and not after.
Quote from the UK’s air traffic controller’s CEO particularly caught me eye - this apparently isn’t some ancient component:

“Rolfe has been asked about delays to investments in new systems.

He said Nats invests £100m a year, and the piece of the system that failed was replaced only five years ago.”
If they're not very good then they need rapidly iterate until they do get good. They probably sell so few in comparison to the big guys in the short term it's not a big deal.

For most of the data, it's already possible to siphon it off. Just browse with a instrumented browser and you can download all the 3D map data for a city in a few minutes from a single session, simply emulating a user zooming around the city.

Business data can likewise be methodologically downloaded, thousands of businesses per user account per day doesn't hit their rate limits.

The polygons of roads and stuff are also easily extracted from a browser.

And the Android/iOS mobile apps allow you to 'download for offline use', which is obfusticated but not properly encrypted.

Charging $1 per 1000 records for API access would cost massive amounts for a competitor to download all the data - and besides, maps data is fairly easy to hide a few erroneous entries in and catch anyone using the data to start a clone of Google Maps.

I think we're sadly a long way from that happening - as long as Fairphone continue to use Qualcomm SOCs and Qualcomm continue to have a terrible track record for planned obsolescence of their SOCs, lack of support for Linux kernel maintenance, etc.
For that to be a reasonable stand people should have reasonable ways to avoid doing business with various ISPs and that's not thr case for many. Their options are one company, maybe two and then they're out of luck. At least if ISP were a real utility in the US they're be able to apply pressure with their votes.

> To see them release a whole new flagship only a year or so after the FP4 release is ... a shame.

Sustainability-wise, not really. My Fairphone 2 is running out, so it's nice to be able to buy a phone that's not two years old already.

The FP5 isn't for owners of an FP4.
I think it's meant to run in a private huggingface space, it's trying to allocate 46GB of VRAM.

I’ve long suspected part of the issue is the franchises not following properly cleaning and maintenance guidelines with them, leading to higher failure rates. I know McDonalds sells more ice cream than basically any other fast food place, including actual ice cream joints, so the same issue for them will likely cause more downstream failures than it might for others just because they’re working the machines harder.

Anecdotally I know in the McDonalds near my old apartment the people would say the ice cream machine was broken in part because they just didn’t want to have to clean it. So they really would prefer if people not order ice cream.
Fwiw, I used an EFF sticker on my old Note 2 front camera. The bezel nicely fit the sticker and it had some glue that let itself be removed and reapplied at least a dozen times. Not a perfect solution, but worked. I miss the sticker regularly, even after six years of having a phone without webcam sticker.

> Controversial opinion, but corporate landlords tend to be better than individual landlords because it's impersonal and it's harder to hide

Best of both worlds: cooperative rental companies. Renters control everything collectively as a non-profit. They employ the custodian(s) and vote on what to invest any excess capital into. With this it means you're only paying as much as needed to maintain the buildings, your utilities, and saving up for larger renovations.

I've lived in multiple apartments organized like that, and frankly it beats every corporate/individual landlord I've been attached to.
Serious question, and I apologize for the strong language: why should I give a shit about the language a service I consume is written in? Why does it matter it’s in Clojure? I am professionally a Clojure dev so it’s cool to see something written in Clojure like this, but why should I care about that?

This is one of the things I really dislike about the community. Yes, Clojure is a powerful language, and I really enjoy working with it, but I often feel that the community has some kind of imposter syndrome that drives the need to tell others and justify the use of the language in some project, and it’s weird.
Show HN: Preserve your families legacy for centuries
Hey everyone, creator of clann.app here.

I will try to keep this short but at the end of the day you will be forgotten one day. I know this feels sad and
it really is. I mean ask yourself who your great-grandfather is, you don't know!

Heck, we don't even know how they lived their life. Now their generation had very little access to computers let alone the internet. The problem isn't about the future knowing who you are but them understanding how your generation lived their life.

Further we often tend to forget about our extended family. I am from India and after every single exam someone from my extended family who I met ONCE in my life would ask me my results. I would rarely know how they are related to me. This is a problem. Further dinner table discussions about how people are related to me are always a pain. Why? Sometimes even my parents don't know!

The Solution?
What if you could get your entire family into the digital world, Yes, it is possible! Upload images (feature name: memories) of your family today so that your future generations would truly appreciate how much their lives have improved. Clann is built for intergenerational use and has a robust invites system (feature name: groups, invites) so that you only allow your extended family members to see a certain family. If you have any queries you can contact me on @PottiVarun.

Think of Clann as Figma for families. Get your entire family on there, Invite other families (relatives) and link each family by how they are related. Everything is in a clean flow char based UI.

The link is https://clann.app.

You and I need to be remembered for the coming centuries. We need to leave a mark on this world. Lets leave a small digital footprint so that the
future understands and appreciates their world!

Goodbye!
I was thinking of that as cheaper but there’s also a strategic aspect: Apple is comfortable making challenging long-term plans, and if one of those required them to run the Mac division at low profitability for a couple of years they’d do it far more readily than even a core supplier like Intel.
Whatever it's benefits the EU is a terrible example of democracy, to the extent that I would say it is not directly representative of 'the people'.
There are also laws against "gross mischief". While the legal definition is more precise than the term might imply, you can be certain that such laws exist.

I picked the example because it can collide with freedom of speech as you can imagine. If you demonstrating something and your placard is seen as insulting, the police can force you to take it down.

Laws against speech like "Volksverhetzung" were already in place in the late 19th century. The monarchy was ended in 1918. There is a constant with laws restricting speech and it is mostly those in power just wanting to do so. That was mostly the case in Germany.

> As Goebbels, the Nazi's chief propagandist, himself said

Perhaps he said that so people start to destroy democracy themselves. He had a knack for propaganda and fooling people.
Imo it's the other way. You can still use fp3/4. Fp5 and future models are targetet at new customers: if someone wants to transition from another brand, how happy they'll be if current fp offering is outdated?
As long as they keep supporting old devices, they can totally release new ones and it'll be ethically correct. If they drop fp3/4 at all too early, then yes, it's an end, but till then, I'm happy for them

How is that ecological ?
Monopoly power seems secondary here, with the real problem being that there are sufficiently many people now with a totalitarian impulse to forbid others from engaging in speech they dislike that overrides almost any other principle, and no equally obstinate opposition. I am not engaged in and have no interest in any KF-like activity, but merely wanting to choose an ISP, domain registrar, Mastodon instance or email provider that would not filter them as a matter of principle would expose me to the risk of becoming collateral damage, as the armchair censors pressure the closest amenable nodes to participate in what they see as "cutting out the rot" - excise DNS records, range-ban, defederate from your node and recursively any node that would not participate in defederating you, thus forcing the whole world to pick a side.

Time is not evidence of safety, that is an odd claim (see smoking tobacco), thankfully we have the scientific method to investigate hypotheses like "x is bad for you".
Sounds like ligature resolution might hide some accidentally quadratic demons.
That's even worse though, isn't it? A racist policy favoring indigenous by blood could at least be justified by saying it's correcting for past racism in the opposite direction - however weak that justification is. But what you're describing sounds like granting privileged status to a club, membership in which is dictated by whether you identify with it, and existing members identify with you. Similar to privileging a religious group, but sans religion itself.

No way this could possibly go wrong.
I didn't upgrade yet to 13 because they said the vendor for the fingerprint reader in the FP3 has not registered/validated/whatever for Google's security standards on Android 13 yet, thus possibly causing issues with apps that require strong security (banking apps, for example). What is strange though is that if a banking app can't use the fingerprint reader on 13, it will then default to PINs - aren't PINs weaker security-wise than biometric logins?
Is anyone surprised that a real estate empire using a burger franchise to draw rent is using a corporate supplier to extract extra rent?
You're completely right, the argument is a red herring. People did not move away from cooperative multitasking for operating systems because it solved every "run-away usage of resource" problem for all time. They did it specifically because, as you note, it makes incredibly simple application-level errors, whether they are design-level (UI thread blocked) or simple errors (accidental infinite loop) totally devastating to the entire state of the system. This is pretty bad whenever your system is designed to run arbitrary computer programs.
And I think I agree that is the right level for this sort of thing to take place, even if I might disagree with both the specific decision and whether this sort of entity (monopoly level ISPs) should be able to make that decision.
You'd be surprised how much damage can be done to a person within the technical limits of legality.
> Replacing a sort algorithm in the FreeBSD kernel has improved its boot speed by a factor of 100 or more…

I don't think that's correct. While the optimized sorting algorithm is 100x times faster than the old sorting algorithm, it was only a small part of the boot process (2ms), so the boot speed up is only 7%.

> Are they discontinuing support for their previous phones any sooner? Are they cutting the warranty for them or stopping holding parts for them?

Well obviously they can't back down on their promise to support FP4 for 5 years. But for example back in the FP2 era they went above and beyond and released Android 10 6 years after the release of the FP2. With more and more product lines to support, it seems less likely that such a thing would be feasible in future (limited resources and all that).

> Does the existence of a Fairphone 5 make any practical difference to an owner of an FP4? Or is it just the concern that some people will think, "Wah, this isn't the company's latest phone any more!" and upgrade sooner than they might otherwise?

A bit of both, I think.

The reality is a lot of consumers are still in the mindset that there's no problem with their individual behavior ("it's the fault of Exxon that our planet is doomed, not little ol' me buying a new phone every year!"). So Fairphone is enabling that bad behaviour, here.

Also, by matching the release cadence of the other companies, they're sending a signal that such a thing is okay (I think it isn't). Releasing "upgrade kits" that encourage consumers to extend the life of their handset by another couple of years, is a very different signal.
I agree that the US is different from most countries in terms of how difficult it is to prove slander and libel. But I don't think your description is quite accurate. Then again, I'm not a lawyer.

> The truth is a perfect defense. Even if you thought you were lying, you are protected. If you believe what you are saying, you are protected.

IIUC the truth is a perfect defense in most states, but in some states maliciously stated truths (insults, more or less) can be defamatory. For example, see Johnson v Johnson in Rhode Island, where one Clifford Johnson was required to pay compensatory damages for (more or less accurately) calling his ex-wife a "[redacted] whore" in public. (He was also initially ordered to pay punitive damages, but that was reversed on appeal.)

> If you did not know for certain that you said a lie, you are protected.

I don't think this is the case in most states. If you say something with reckless disregard for the truth, it can be defamatory.

> If you did not mean to cause harm, you are protected.

I think this is typically only true of defaming public figures.

I’m relatively excited about the pollen API. I suffer from severe seasonal allergies. I know exactly what I’m allergic to because I’ve seen an allergist and I’ve undergone immunotherapy, and while that helped it didn’t cure it.

I’ve struggled to find a good source of location specific pollen forecasting and historical data. The historical data is probably the most important for me because it would allow me to start taking medication weeks before the first pollen event, allowing for maximum therapeutic effect.

I’m probably going to try to build something for myself later today and see if I can get the kind of data I’d like to see out of it.
