Getting a fairphone 6 with /e/OS is one of them, besides a few snags I'm really happy with it.

The other is getting a henry vacuum cleaner. They're affordable, strong, insanely repairable, look cute, and are made in the UK by unionised workers which is nearly unheard of these days. I probably sound like a shill but it's nice when the more ethical/local option happens to be one of the better options anyway if you weren't considering considering those things.

    I just got one as well, it uses MicroG to replace Google Play Services. Works really well, there aren't any apps I use on my fairphone that didn't work on my old S24 besides contactless payments. I just stick my card in my case or you can use Curve to replace Google Wallet/Pay.

  • I am looking to switch off my very non-updated Xperia 5II when I have the money.

    Do banking apps work with /e/?

    Also how is the camera latency? One thing I love about my xperia 5ii is the high shutter speed being able to open the camera app and snap a picture of my dog before she moves.

    My girlfriend's A52 can't often boot the camera and take a picture without completely smearing it due to the low shutter speed or multiple exposures.

    I got the Nando's Medium PERi-PERi Sauce for 5.54 euros in British Columbia.

    I mean Nando's was originally a South African company, and now it's just a big multinational. Not sure what they have to do with the Netherlands though.

    Switched from gmail to proton, from google maps to Mapy.com (and open street maps more in general), from windows to Linux (on a refurbished - unfortunately American - laptop), switched from Microsoft office to LibreOffice, from Uber to Bolt, largely from ChatGPT to LeChat (Mistral) and Lumo (Proton), from google translate to DeepL, from google chrome to Vivaldi.

  • I'd been looking everywhere for a yellow half-face jester mask, just a cheap paper pulp one, and I finally found it at a UK joke shop's online store. ยฃ3 mask ended up running me ten times that after shipping and duty, but the hunt is finally ended
