Thank you for the reassurance. I haven't noticed this on the FP4. Love you peeps.

I haven't checked my FP4 yet.

It may be a graphical glitch. If I wait a couple of secods it turns blue, though not all the time. When it doesn't and I blacken the phone and bring it back up agian, and check the tile it turns blue again. 🤔

Got a quick question. When I bring up my phone (but not unlock it) it doesn't show the advanced privacy icon and the tile when swiping down is greyed out. 🤔 I expect it's still running, but it doesn't appear to be. When I unlock the phone it's clearly running. Is this on purpose?

The FP4 battery wasn't great to begin with, but I have noticed a faster drain recently as well. I turned off a lot of hidden telemetry in apps and it helped. But, I flashed it to /e/OS a couple of days ago and I can tell it's lasting a day or two longer.

I don't recall when I first started using Vivaldi, must be ✨ human experience ✨ as well.
I love you guys. Please don't turn into a spyware company like so many have.

I got my Fairphone 6 with /e/OS a couple of days ago. It's great! I love it so much, I also flashed my Fairphone 4 to /e/OS. Moving away from google for good.

How did the flashing process go? Is it just as straight forward as installing /e/OS?

Android 13 with September 5th patch, btw. Locking the bootloader should be okay.

I have considered getting the headphones. Perhaps I should.

Flashing /e/OS worked. I see it says Android security patch(1 oct) and Vendor security patch(5 sep). So, I'm guessing it's safe to lock the bootloader now without bricking my phone. 🤷

That's an interesting read. Some of it I was already aware of, but to learn how the biggest spyware network just leaks your information is insane. Looks like a race between Meta, Alphabet and Microsoft to harvest your data the best. Spying localhost apps, pushing AI chatbots and W11 "companian" OS.

@murena-com.bsky.social Hey, got a quick question. I want to flash my old Fairphone 4 with /e/OS. The easy installer says I need to check if the latest firmware in available. Is this a way of saying I need to have an old security patch? Or should I update to the latest? I don't want to brick it.

Well.. mostly US independent. I look for alternative EU-based services and technologies to help cut the strings I have with Microsoft, Google and Amazon.

Though I'm just one person.. perhaps I can inspire others to walk the same path.

Picked up my Fairphone 6 with /e/OS today!

Gefeliciteerd, Rob. Maak er wat van!

Good thing I migrated my entire workflow to Linux three years ago. 😸👍

Nice! We walked past you late this afternoon. The weather is looking good this weekend too.

Nice! Hope you get some good sales at the event.
