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.

Well, are you? I can’t remember the last conversation I had over phone.

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 5 points 6 hours ago

Yes. Especially with work, although not necessarily with my personal phone, it does happen.

Also, it’s a 650 Euro, £562, device….i don’t want to buy it and some parts don’t work.

I'm on the phone all day. Believe it or not some people are different from you 🤯

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Goes both ways, I'd be happy if more calls would simply fail midway.

"What a shame, better write an e-mail."

Goes both ways

No one was arguing the other way...

"What a shame, better write an e-mail."

Ah yeah, I love writing emails back and forth for 5 days to do what could be accomplished in a 5 minute phone call.

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Well the way you write I'm not surprised people don't like you.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago

LOL because yours was so much nicer?

[–] Ludicrous0251@piefed.zip 1 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I'm with you - I'd pay extra for a phone that doesn't take calls just so I can force everyone to just send it as a text.

[–] baronvonj@piefed.social 3 points 5 hours ago

could you not just get a data-only SIM?

[–] artyom@piefed.social 2 points 4 hours ago

Just delete all your phone apps and then you won't get anymore phone calls. Bing bang boom.
