@Lakotaubp Derogatory to whom? Did I call anybody that to which you refer? No.
Also, Japanese school girls would probably not take kindly to you considering the mere mention of them derogatory.
Here - have some more, everybody! Good times for all!

@PublicLewdness Well, obviously what you should've done is order the device with Volla OS, which would've enabled you to multiboot off the MMC. Your problem would've been easily fixed in that case. I'll put both Ubports and Sailfish on my memory card and will rest assured nothing I do with either OS will break my device. Would that you were so lucky.
@Keneda Name-calling and cursing? It's obvious English isn't your first language, but even so you'd be hard-pressed to point out exactly where I did that in this thread.
@Lakotaubp And where have I been derogatory, pray tell?
@treebeard Furthermore, "calm down"? I've been perfectly calm the whole time. All of you seem to suffer from certain inadequacies as pertains to comprehending the written word.

There, y'all feel better now?
To round things off, some good news: Late afternoon yesterday I got a mail from Deutsche Post saying a package was on its way from Trend Services which will be delivered Monday next week. That will be the Volla Phone, right? So in conclusion I'll recieve it roughly 10 days after treebeard, even though going by Hallo Welt's own statements to the fact, I should've recieved it 20 days before. Not enough of an issue to contact customer service about in my book.
@treebeard It doesn't matter what you call the transaction you made; the end result is the same: an order of a phone already in production.
And concerning this I will note that what Volla is saying - "Sie erfolgt priorisiert nach Bestelleingang" - is obviously not true, and leave it at that.
The rest of your post is merely dumb. Marmalade? And reputation? Do I look like a Final Fantasy-playing Japanese school girl who would care about such things? The whole concept is stupid, but feel free to downvote my posts - I'd take it as a badge of honor.
@treebeard What a weird response. When pre-order is available - which it was from Volla mid-february, obviously funds have already long ago been secured and production started. Availability was already at that point said to be late May. If you pre-order a month and a half later, you are not "investing" in a possible future product, you're simply pre-ordering from another site. And when I pre-ordered from Volla, I also "supplied the money up front" (with the same €50 rebate, by the way). They have my money since March 4, so why you have the phone before me because you selected another website with a stupid name is a mystery.
I don't need a lesson on how Indiegogo works, by the way. I ordered the Fxtec Pro1 X years ago, and I'm still not any closer to getting that one either.
@treebeard Oh really. I pre-ordered through Volla's website on March 4, and I still haven't heard a word. Nothing has been shipped.
Also my order was was for the Volla OS, since ordering with Ubuntu means no multiboot feature.
Why did you order through Indiegogo when it was available through the official webshop? And why apparently are Indiegogo orders prioritized?
@lduboeuf No, it will not be confusing; it will be a lot better than the current condition in any case.
Whoever thought sorting by first name was a good idea anyway? That is just not done, unless you are 5 years old and your only contacts are "Dad", "Gjammy" and "Mom".
Who buys a new phone without 5G today? Also, I hate rounded corners - taking away screen real state for "design" purposes, which just look shitty anyway.
I was going to jump to Fairphone 4, but would have considered this instead if it would've just had 5G.
Looking at the links provided in this thread, I still don't see a clear answer to whether OTA-25 will arrive, or when.
Sailfish has call recording built into the phone app with the push of a button. Just sayin'...
Can't believe they were stupid enough to go with rounded corners. It's become a disease lately. Who are the idiot customers who are asking for phones that effectively cut away screen real estate?
Rounded corners don't look "modern" or "designy", they just look stupid, and for practical use ARE stupid. I would've bought one otherwhise, but I'll send Fairphone a mail saying the rounded corners make it a no-go for me.
@lakotaubp I don't speak PC, I call a spade a spade; but I'll gladly call him a full-blown idiot if you prefer. I don't cater to Android drones. Asking for Android compability in UT is equivalent to puking all over the OS. "Rules" be damned, it's patently ridiculous.
@dalharmony That's funny. I've never used an Android device or any Android app in my life, and I never will. My mobile OS history is Symbian > Maemo > Meego > Sailfish > Ubuntu Touch, and I have gotten by and do get by perfectly fine. Needing Android apps seems like a mental handicap to me. I absolutely do not want any Android app capability in UT - I actively avoid such crap. So no, Ubuntu Touch is most definitely not for you. Being a slave to Google seems your lot in life.
@cliffcoggin Spoken like a true Android drone and mental midget. You are on the wrong OS because you don't appreciate the power of Linux, even for something as extremely simple as adding some adblocking lines to a hosts file. The adblock app option requires more steps, will not work system-wide, and will use more resources. So, you're choosing an inferior solution, and acting smart about it.
@domubpkm What part of this is not simple or usable to you?
sudo curl https://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt -o /etc/hosts
@cliffcoggin Then you are using the wrong OS.
@domubpkm There's absolutely no need for uAdblock or any alternative. Why would you even want to use something like that when you can just pull the hosts-file from https://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt for example, or edit your hosts file any way you see fit, and have system-wide adblocking without any app? Makes no sense.
@moem said in Use Mattermost instead of Telegram to discuss about UT:
why
Stupid suggestion. I'm certainly not ditching Telegram.
