Long press, ‘disable’. You’re welcome. 👍

Strips metadata so that the public can’t see it, isn’t the same as stripping metadata after the corporation has already collected and linked it to your profile. 😫

Always clean the metadata BEFORE it touches their upload UI.

You’d be permanently destroying that land, and any waterways in the area, so is that really a solution?

And if the land isn’t already fertile, you need to set up alternative land to grow the food for those cows… then import the water…

This is not sustainable, and should be discouraged.

That’s like saying “it’s more ethical if Nazis killed only adults, because they take up more space than kids in a gas chamber.”

The needless suffering and killing of any animal is horrifically unethical, and if we can, we should actively stop participating in it.

There are a ton of mental gymnastics used to justify the consumption of animals. Almost none apply to modern civilization.

You can never make animal production green. The amount of clear-cutting needed for beef as an example would blow your mind. Then you factor in the ground, air, and water pollution from these factory farms, and you’ve just fucked up into entire regions, just to sustain a food source that isn’t even needed.

Yeah, isopropyl alcohol is probably the best because it doesn’t leave any residue behind like oil, wd40, and other adhesive removers do.

The problem with importing is that parts would be slow/expensive to bring in, which would be a bummer.

Honestly, I’m just crossing my fingers that Framework comes out with a repairable smartphone, since they already sell their laptops all over the world =)

Absolutely love it. I had an issue with one of the lights on the keyboard, and they sent a new keyboard, which took maybe a minute to replace. Such a smooth, easy repair process. Any other laptop would have been too inconvenient to fix/return.

It’s not a gaming machine, but you can use an external GPU or wait for the 16" model to come up later this year, which apparently supports a dedicated GPU.

Lots of new options came out since I got mine, including a Chromebook version, AMD versions, etc. When my wife’s laptop dies, I’ll be replacing it with a Framework.

But… a lot of people and businesses reuse boxes.

I wish they brought it to Canada. I already went with a Framework laptop for reparability and would easily jump at the opportunity to buy a fairphone.
