Anglo-Saxon? Lmao what a bizarre way to talk. Not that it even makes sense considering Anglo-Saxon settlers in the US weren't even close to being the majority.
It's down to unicode support. Not a plot from "Anglo-Saxons" to keep others in their place lol
EU now mandates minimum of 5 years after the device is no longer on sale, so most likely 7 years total. This was a law that came into place just 1 week ago.
If you're outside the EU it's possible you won't get that, but since the work is already done, you can likely count on it coming to other markets too.
I think this is a sane choice for now, but this really should be a warning shot to the likes of Valve (to be clear, Valve is great for Linux overall, and I'm extremely appreciative of that), that 32-bit needs to go, and Valve cannot expect every single distro out there to maintain 32-bit support forever just for them.
Sooner or later they're going to have to bundle a 32-to-64-bit translation layer, like they're already doing with Proton, and also with their x86-to-ARM stuff they're working on.
These maintainers are spending their own time and often money expecting nothing in return. If they don't want to continue supporting 32-bit, they are fully within their right to do so.
I understand the fear of having to move distro, but some of the hate I've seen levied towards the Fedora maintainers over this is really vile. They don't owe you a damn thing.
I don't think that's true in the slightest. A phone 2.1" smaller in diagonal length than my current one would be smaller than a Nokia 3310.
That's exactly my point.
Presumably you're paid for the work you do, and you shouldn't have to do it for free, yes?
I imagine you wouldn't be saying this if it was your work being used.
If you went through the painstaking effort or writing a book or something, I imagine you'd be pretty unhappy if nobody wanted to reimburse you, and you were called a cunt for wanting to be paid for your labour.
Considering they're an enterprise player, and so well-known, that actually seems surprisingly low to me, especially since that's revenue not profit.
Why is Polution per GDP a better measure?
They wanted a measure that makes China look better.
Like I just said, my current 6.3" display phone is almost identical in size to my old 4.2" one.
You are genuinely the first person I've seen online who understands screen size != Phone size, because bezels exist and are different sized from phone to phone.
My current 6.3" screen phone is virtually identical in size to the 4.2" one I had in 2012.
Qualcomm will have to change that, what with the EU now mandating a minimum of 5 years of updates after the phone is no longer sold.
So if Qualcomm expects their SoCs to be on the market for 2-4 years, like they do right now, they will have no choice but to provide updates for 7-9 years.
I wouldn't be surprised if, given this development, Fairphone turn to the more conventional chips other OEMs use, which would likely also be a win for battery life.
No they are not.
