Valid point. I initially just typed it out on my (fair) phone in a quick minute, but added some spaces now.

The Offspring: The kids aren’t alright

In this case I’d give it to the Who

Great post which gives a lot of inspiration!

Since you mentioned the fairphone 6, I thought I’d give you my two cents on that topic:

Switched over to a Fairphone 6 about half a year ago (pretty soon after the release). Wanted to get the Murena - e/OS version but since the stock Android was cheaper and quicker for delivery I went with that.

At home, I flashed e/OS myself on the phone after checking everything worked initially (especially phone services).

And what can I say - about a half year later I’m still super happy with it. About 60% of the apps I use are from F-Droid, the other few over AppLounge (Playstore-Mirror) with an anonymous Google-account (very easy to use, works automatically and is preinstalled on e/OS). I should say, my goal switching from a ‘normal’ Android phone was to degoogle at the same time, which worked well with the fp6. No issues with calls, screen, battery, camera, Apps etc, only thing I needed was a Type-C to Aux adapter (since my last phone still had a 3.5 mm jack).

You need to get used to the volume rocker placement - was taking screenshots in the beginning all the time :D But other than that, I have no regrets. Even dropped it a few times without a case and its sturdy! I can definetely recommend it :) (My parents’ next smartphone will be a FP, already influenced them haha)

Du musst aber auch direkt da hingehen. Und nicht über LOS und 4000€ einziehen!

Ich werde zwei Nummer 9s haben, eine Nummer 9 groß, eine Nummer 6 mit Extra Dip, eine Nummer 7, zwei Nummer 45s, eine mit Käse und ein großes Erfrischungsgetränk.

Prost!

Now reading it, I never directly realized it being this (wrong) way in the english language. In German the equivalent term would be “Hals über Kopf” (Neck over head) which made sense for a feeling of the world being upside down. Funny that in English it is actually the “normal” worldview - at least how the modern expression goes.

Freut mich, gerne!

Schon bisschen länger her, aber habe vor paar Monaten die britische Indie-Rock-Band ‘Gaffa Tape Sandy’ für mich entdeckt. Ein Power-Trio mit zwei Vocalisten die richtig energetische und mitreißende Musik machen, mit top Texten. Bei einigen Liedern setzen sie sehr kreativ “Call and response” Techniken ein (ähnlich wie Billy Talent), die mir richtig taugen (v.a.im Wechsel zw. Male/Female Vocals). Kann zum reinhören die Lieder “Turnstile”, “Scrapbook”, und “Beehive” empfehlen. Naja jedenfalls long story short: Hab am WE eine Vinyl mit Autogrammen auf eBay ersteigern können und warte sehnsüchtig auf die Ankunft :D

Mail is out!

Ok I’m a bit surprised but I 100% expected a comment like this already under this post, so I’ll do it myself:

No wonder if you follow CCRs tips: Don’t go around tonight, well its bound to take your life - theres a bathroom on the right.

Since you mentioned Fairphone, another option as custom ROM would be e/OS which is not only supported but also comes pre-installed on fairphones (if you choose so). Sure, there are differences to Graphene, but I installed e/OS on my fp6 a few weeks ago and Im super happy with it - no more Google! And battery performance is pretty decent, too.

Tbf, never been an Apple guy, so I cant say how the switch would be for you, but coming from Xiaomi-Android it felt really refreshing :D

Username checks out… kinda :D

Asked myself the same question last week. Bought the AOSP Version and did the flashing myself - worked out fine! Just be careful if you want to return to Stock Android: You need to be sure not to revert to a ROM with an older security patch date than currently installed (See anti-rollback feature and the remarks in the official instructions). This could potentially brick your phone. Mine shipped with a patch from May 2025, so flashing to a ROM with June 2025 security patch (e/OS 3.02) worked fine. Wanted to save those 50€, too :D
