The fun part is... My printers are always recognized by Linux. Never by windows. I need to always download all kinds of stuff for windows.

Same thing for all of the other stuff in my computer. It's already in my Linux kernel. For windows I have to search for simple things like sound drivers!!!

So I'd say: Linux is easier!

Most people will switch smartphones anyway. Nothing you or I can do about it I'm afraid.

Better we get then hooked on fairphone then.

If you can sell or give the old phone to someone else, they are also displacing a non-fair phone. So filling the market with fairphones (That are still supported) is a GOOD thing. And you are still supporting the company, and all the people they pay as well.

I pre-ordered already.

Ok, so honesty time: The fact that this company is good for the environment, pays people well, etc.. is NOT my main "thing" for wanting to own this phone.

It's the fact that it is open. I can unlock and flash whatever I want, I can fix things by ordering replacement parts, a new screen is TOTALLY do-able both price wise and doing it myself.

Also it does not come with bloat, or vendor-lock in software like on ALL samsung shitty phones.

Out of all the phones, this one makes the most sense.

(And my current FP4 goes to my mother, perfect for her and many more years of support)

As a parent of two boys, i feel that much of the annoyance of no-children-having people is due to parents not putting boundaries for children in place.

Children scream because of attention. It means they are not getting it.

Start walking around with the kid to calm it down. Its your job as a parent. You cannot stay seated and act like "what are you gonna do? They are children ! They scream!"

No. You are a bad parent for letting them just scream.

Having said that, babies sometimes just scream without reason. Perhaps, and I mean this, if you have a baby that is prone to doing this, do not travel in confined spaces, or dine at restaurants until that phase of screaming is over.

Of misschien door te weinig betalen en daardoor een bepaald type voor je hebben werken.

Maar een "cluster" van mensen dat elkaar kent helpt dan weer voor een controle aspect?

Tell me 1 good deed done in the name of religion that could not have been done without religion.

There are numerous heinous deeds done in the name of religion because it told them to do it...

People are people, they will do bad and good things. But religion always makes them worse because they put themselves above others.

The religious are only persecuted by other religions and currently religions are persecuting the non believers. (Christo fascism in the USA as a prime example)

And lastly, if churches would start paying their fair share of tax. No one will need to donate ever again.

Islam says (for instance) that they have the final word of god. Thats pretty damning in and of itself. It leaves no room for anything else.

Christianity had been used through the ages to commit the most heinous crimes against humanity. They still do.

We should try a world without religion.

This is why so many "founding fathers" around the world, including the US, did not want religion to play ANY part in politics.

We should return to their plan on this point.

It's weirder then that: The reason is: "It's god's plan that you became pregnant, and if you do not survive, that's god's plan too. We just need to trust the plan".

It's one of the reasons why I strongly believe religion is the source of all things evil.
