  • Ok thanks did not know that. But let’s compare this against a better approach.

    Energy use for recycling

    Vs reuse

    Standardized bottle and jar sizes with pant ( not sure about en word, you pay a bit extra and get it back when returned) that instead of being melted down get a cleaned and reused.

    Sweden had a good system that’s still works but not as good as it use to ( some types was removed and different sizes in use) but still have it for 33 cl bottles, as an example.





  • Plastic recycling is the biggest scam of them all, they ship tonnes of it all over the world. PET gets “recycled” once. Ship around the world, Get some fleece clothes back which can’t be recycled.

    For non plastic:

    Most my packaging materials are going in the fireplace. That way a get energy back.

    instead of A, clean it with hot water using energy B, getting in my car driving to recycle center using energy C, have it shipped to a recycling plant,other side of the world or whatever. Using energy from oil.

    Material for paper can be made co2 neutral. Organic waste , sure just compost it.

    Metalls yea here we have something we’re it’s great to recycle.

    Glass. Meh just heated sand. But old glass needs to be disposed of somewhere so yea it is a point in recycle it.

    What should be done is reuse and not using materials I can’t recover energy at home from. That’s a heck of a lot better.

    Glass bottles that gets refilled is a great example. Other good ideas is to repair instead of throwing a way stuff. True for everything from cars to laptops.

    From a capitalists view recycling means (to a certain extent) free labour, raw materials and transports.

    Reusing and repairs means less sales.

    My way around the issue with the app and its collection is :

    1. Install in a separate profile with empty everything. (So they get an empty contact list)
    2. Install beeper in a different profil and connect WhatsApp to beeper.
    3. Remove all permissions from WhatsApp. There if I need to reconnect sometime.

    Oh and using fake number is also a good idea. And yes not as good as selfhosting I know. Signal is an option if you can get them to switch. Telegram is crap.








  • I like that they don’t foce apps on me , I’d rather install what I need myself. F-droid is not the best app as I see it. I use neo store so do not want extra bloat.

    Regarding Firefox , you are either running chrome/vanadium or chrome/vanadium plus Firefox. Since webview. So what you have with Firefox is at best the in use browser features. Open a link in an app and you still use the webview. Firefox on android has it issues as well (sandboxing) . So 1+1 = 2 issues. Using a VPN / DNS with adblock makes ublock unnecessary.





  • While I am agreeing somewhat, and I haven’t been active in the community much. The few encounters I had was in the matrix chat . Yea toxic af . Checked in too see now , scrolled a bit but quite civil atm.

    I repair pixel phones as an hobby / side gig and yea not comparable withe fairphone, but still repairable , better than a lot of others but depends on models.

    I buy second hand in bulk and repair whats needed. Bonus of no trail to Google as well.
