That’s why Plasma is built to support different shells, optimized for different form factors which allows to do this stuff like the Netbook shell in the past or now Plasma Bigscreen for TVs or Plasma Mobile for smartphones.

A Brezel has to be eaten fresh. Once it’s older than 30 minutes it gets stale and stops being a proper Brezel!

Nowadays, ironically some of the best Americana music comes out of Sweden by First Aid Kit.

Same here! Before that, I used initially Netscape, then Konqueror on KDE, whose engine KHTML became the foundation of Safari/Webkit and thereby 90% of all browsers nowadays and only started in 2006 or so to exclusively use Firefox.

Fairphone have been dealing with this problem of unsupported chips for quite some years now (the hardest lesson learned was probably selecting Mediatek for the FP1) and they’ve become better and better at it - up to the point, that they chose not a mobile, but an IoT SoC for the FP5 for which they got Qualcomm to commit to much longer support than ever before. I don’t see why reason, why they shouldn’t manage to stick to this commitment in this case. On top of that, they’re even working with Qualcomm to allow for replacable SoCs for future upgrades without having to replace the whole mainboard incl. storage etc.

Fairphone offers 8 years of software updates and aims to reach even 10.

It might be expensive when you compare it to the lifetime of a regular phone, but compare it to what you’d spend instead on regular phones within the potential lifetime of 7-8 years of the FP5 (minus 1-2 minor repairs).

zram did wonders back then to the performance/usability of Palm/HP webOS devices, especially the 1st Pre.

If you calculate what you’d spend on regular phones with a 2-3 year lifetime instead of a single one for 8 years (even including a few repairs), it might be actually cheap.

Especially the one called “Capitalism”, which has now more followers than any other religion in the world!
