I use the FP3. It's an old device but I find it very responsive, and keeps up with what I need it to do personally. I like it, but don't like Android. I wish the device had more RAM though.

The FP5 looks promising (and big 😳) the only turn offs for me are no 3.5mm headphone jack, and the price could do with another 150-200 off at least. Since FP is a niche company with some special supply chain arrangements, I think this price is the best we'll get for now (unless you trade in an old device for recycling for money off), but it's still expensive.

If you value the ability to own and repair your device, the knowledge that people further down in the supply chain get paid a little extra when they're collecting materials for Fairphone, and that your device will very, very likely get supported for the full time they claim (and even longer in the case of the FP2), then it's probably worth it.

Otherwise, a new/recent Pixel (eligible to recieve GrapheneOS updates) is another very good option.

Regardless of what device you choose, if you want to keep your next phone for 10 years, you'll want a lot of onboard storage - but keep as much things as possible on an SD card. This is to avoid burning out your onboard NAND, since it has a finite lifespan and not replaceable.

Pixels don't support SD cards AFAIK, so if you go for one of them I'd recommend going for the highest builtin storage that you can afford (especially if it's a used one)

welcome to the Internet where people fling the most unhinged nonsense at each other without a second thought

TIL I am internetting wrong lol.

For me personally, flinging unhinged shit at other users is tiring. I find it much easier to either be nice or abandon ship

No, no, no, no. No. Surely the hacker knows the victim probably did not see that comment as a threat 😭

Visited my parents a while ago who got a new Brother ethernet printer. It was available immediately from the printers menu on my Linux laptop, no installation needed or anything

My next personal printer will probably be a Brother too

I was scared about my projector dropping on my head, having a whole ass motorcycle there would put me off sitting on my couch entirely lmao

Outside of Plexamp, I'm not sure of any self hosted music solutions that can generate random & context-aware playlists, most of the ones I'm aware of (Navidrome and the various apps that support it) appear to be mostly classic media players as you mentioned. There's also Funkwhale, but that's more of a self hosted, federated SoundCloud alternative I think.

Music discoverability is something I kind of stuggle with when looking to expand my library, so I tend to rely on apps to do this. I personally use Newpipe, as it works for YouTube, SoundCloud and Bandcamp, allowing me to jump between the platforms looking for remixes and the like.

For a more spotify-like discovery experience, the Spotube app combines Spotify's API with YouTube Music to play spotify-suggested playlists, and there's another app SimpMusic that does the same for YouTube music

Only tangentially related, but I'm disappointed that none of the .io domain revenue goes to the juristiction it represents

Looking at the public modlog, it was deleted because the post title did not match the linked article title.

Seems fair enough IMO, as most communities here have that rule, and it seems to be accepted as common courtesy in tiddeRverse communities to not alter article titles when posting.

Personally I would have removed it on the basis of not sufficiently technology related, I think it fits better in one of the more general news communities
