They actually support their phones for years. You can even still get most parts of the Fairphone 2 which was released 8 years ago. New android versions are provided for a minimum of 5 years, often longer.
They also source their materials and labor as ethically as possible.
None of it is perfect of course, but considering the fucked up phone market, they're doing an amazing job.
I'm actually not aware what you were talking about, that's why I asked. What do you mean by "overcorrecting"?
I can agree with some of those, but what do you mean with the LGBTQAI+? All people ask for is to be treated equally to everyone else. Also, "especially TQIA+?" What have asexuals ever done to you?
Even in the EU, car related taxes can't pay for all the car related infrastructure. Building and maintaining roads is crazy expensive.
There was a point between sunflower seeds and total insanity where it read like a Trump speech
A 1960 Deutz D15 tractor from my grandfather.
You can use a PC for other things, I'd need a full desktop PC anyways. Also games are generally cheaper and you don't have to pay for online play. Once you bought a game, you can very likely still play it in 10 years on a totally different machine.
That being said, there are plenty of situations where a console is the better choice: they're cheap to buy, easy to use, generally have less software problems, they have cool suspension features etc.
It's really damn complicated. There is so much history to this conflict. I honestly don't know what Israel's best move would be.
I just think there has to be a way to have less civilian casualties. People are suffering greatly in Gaza and it somehow needs to stop.
On the other hand I understand that the Israeli government has to react to the Hamas attacks. Hundreds of innocents were slaughtered and Israel is surrounded by enemies. Constantly in danger. They need to make sure nobody else dares to attack.
In a perfect world they would (or rather: could) treat Gaza like the US treated Germany after WWII. But I'm afraid even with massive humanitarian and economic help there would still be terror and violence from Hamas. This conflict is too old and too dogmatic to be solved in a matter of weeks or even years.
Look around in this thread - even people who don't have any personal stakes in the conflict have such radical options about it. I can't imagine what it must feel like to be a Palestinian or Israeli who has lost family members to this.
Jewish people are attacked on the streets, synagogues are being attacked and smeared with swastikas etc.
You can condemn that and still think Israel is making a mistake in Gaza.
I had a very similar idea but it's about avoiding contact and conversation out on the street and on public transportation. May or may not be influenced by real life experience.
For the same price, a Fair Phone is always going to be outdated. They can't scale as much as the big manufacturers can and they (are trying to) avoid slave labor etc.
It's simply not possible to be as cheap as the others who do everything to be as cheap as can be.
