HMD are doing everything better than fair phone now with their latest models.

How much are the factory workers paid? Where are the raw materials sourced? What percentage is recycled? What work is HMD doing to change the industry?

Better to get an older phone and hold onto it.

That's sort of how they've marketed their phones over the years. Fairphone exists as a fairer alternative to brand new phones, but the company has always been quite clear that the most environmentally friendly phone you have is your current one and that you should keep it for as long as realistically possible.

Do you really think they'll make one?

[–] Ilandar@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

im still not sure the whole business thing is a just a greenwashing scam or not.

What does "greenwashing" actually mean to you? None of your criticisms are related to the environment.

The word hasn't seen widespread use as a "disability slur" for a very long time. The great irony of this very vocal online minority continuing to fake offence and turn it into a political left vs right thing is that they are actually trying to take us back to the world in which the word has real power. If they were genuinely concerned about the word then they would just shut the fuck up and let it exist as the generic insult it has become.

He’s a zionist. It sucks he hid being a nazi like that for so long

What 24/7 algorithmic social media does to a generation.

I have scores disabled so I wasn't aware that I was being mass downvoted, but I think it only further validates my point that Lemmy is full of left-wingers who have fled here so they can have an echo chamber safe space where their opinions and behaviours are never questioned. It's quite sad how easily triggered people are, they have a complete existential crisis if you even try to point them in the direction of reality.

I agree with others that the ending fails to live up to the rest of the film, but I still think it's worth watching because the other 90%+ is excellent political thriller type stuff.

[–] Ilandar@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah the ending is perfectly fine in theory, there just isn't enough dedicated to it throughout the rest of the film for it to work effectively. I haven't read the novel so I wonder if that did a better job in this regard.

Everyone bases their opinion off that one out-of-context tweet, but if you actually take the time to evaluate the context you'll find it's extremely unlikely that Andy Yen (Proton CEO) is a "Trump supporter". At worst, he is a rationalist who wants to continue Proton's work with the US administration regardless of who is president, rather than having a tantrum and trying to virtue signal boycott and achieve nothing for 4+ years. Unfortunately a lot of people on the left would rather circlejerk in their online cope chambers like Lemmy and Bluesky rather than actually engage with reality.
