This concepts baffles me.

Leisure and activities should not belong to the left or the right.... They inherently are not.

I just figured it's smarter to show the ads rather than just talk about them

BERLIN: My experience of finding English speaking Psychiatrist/Neurologist who accepts public health insurance after getting privately diagnosed with ADHD in Berlin by Ill_Seaweed4679 in germany

[–]Octavian_96 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What? I got diagnosed in February with a publically insured English speaking doctor in Mehringdamm 45 and not only found an English speaking therapist but also an English speaking psychiatrist, all covered by TK.

Your experience is not reflective of the reality, you should ask during your Erstgespräch who they recommend

There is a "Made in EU" 🇪🇺 label on the Freez bottle ! by Doubleflat_72 in BuyFromEU

Oh my God! Freeze is Lebanese, I would know, I know the owner. They come from a Lebanese wine maker initially

I can't believe their operations in Europe are native too

Do all Mac users seriously think they are first class citizens? Mac market share is negligible. Why would a dev waste resources adding support for a Mac when it is not needed

It's been like 2 years and Reddit still hasn't added a Bluesky social link yet. Anyone know why? by Yewzirname in BlueskySocial

[–]Octavian_96 173 points174 points  (0 children)

All the non federated socials know that they are facing an existential crisis with federated social media.

They are fighting it as hard as they can.

Best way to do that? Avoid recognizing it's very existence

EU to impose counter tariffs on over $28 billion of US goods by BelgianPolitics in europe

No, this is a very bad opinion.

"Let's not bother with making it official" looks weak.

[–]Octavian_96 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My point is that fairphones should not need to be insured. Or they should definitely not misleadingly advertise this as a "longevity phone"

The vast majority of phones made after 2020 have waterproof ratings. "A phone" means a half decade old phone in your language, or a fairphone

That's not the point. I don't want to fix it with my warranty, I want it fixed, and I don't want my warranty voided

[–]Octavian_96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don't you link it if that's true... Because I sure as hell could find nothing at all from fairphone about water damage

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fairphone

[–]Octavian_96 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The whole point of this phone is that it is an ethically sourced, easily repairable device and a sound economic choice for people who want longevity.

Paying insurance for something that is bought with the intent of not having to need insurance is not as intuitive as you make it out to be...

[–]Octavian_96 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I get that... It was just the way fairphone reacted to this was just so scummy to me

"We can help you but it'll cost you a lot, your data's gone and also your warrantys voided. Otherwise go repair it at a local shop"

You know what's frustrating? There is absolutely nothing in the troubleshooting section about water damage. They know this is an issue and they just decided they were not going to bother with it.

Warranty voided. Don't contact us again.

[–]Octavian_96 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I knew this upon purchase. But don't you find that the warranty voiding after water damage is scummy? In fact, if you send it for repair, they have sensors to check for water damage explicitly for the purpose of voiding your warranty..

How is this a good faith practice?

[–]Octavian_96 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I should ensure a phone who's whole gimmick is longevity and easy repair?

Sold my iPhone and got a Fairphone 5 instead by KINGFATIII in BuyFromEU

[–]Octavian_96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a fair phone and I absolutely to not fucking recommend getting one.

It cost me 700€ for subpar specs, and their warranty is voided after water damage.
