I hope not phones. Fairphone has the repairable market, and that would take away from Framework as well as Framework taking away from Fairphone, making both weaker.
Maybe tablets would make sense, if you could reuse components from the laptops.

I guess you don't really know what kind of games you like?
Some good ones to try would be Skyrim or The Witcher 3 or Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4 for open world RPGs, Road Rampage or any Need For Speed game for arcade racing, Mini Metro for a casual puzzle game, Stardew Valley for a casual farming/life sim, Bioshock 1, 2, and 3 for a first person shooter, the recent Tomb Raider games for third person adventure, Dishonored 1 and 2 for stealth, Civilisation V (or any other) for turn based strategy.
Well, really just go find super popular games and give then a go. Easiest is to get them on Steam and they should just work on Linux and refund them if they don't, though you can still play non-Steam games and you can check on protondb.com if others have had success (Proton is Steam's wine-based tool for playing Windows games on Linux).
I worked full time in a produce department years ago. It was physically demanding for an hour or two in the morning unloading the truck and stacking it away, then it was mostly playing cricket out the back with a plank, an onion, and a rubbish bin for the wicket.
Are you talking about capital gains tax?
First, let's be clear, the reason the rich pay little tax doesn't have much to do with the capital gains tax rate being lower.
Now the reason for the lower rate (at least ostensibly) is that while income is earned at a point in time, capital gains happens over large amounts of time. Therefore often a big part of the gain is inflation. Let's imagine you bought a house for $100k and 20 years later you sell the house for $140k. Over that time inflation has been a steady 2%.
Due to inflation $148k is now worth what $100k was worth 20 years ago. But when you sell you have to pay tax on the $40k profit even though you actually made a loss?
Lower capital gains rates are meant to adjust for this. Basically saying we understand part of the gain is inflation, so let's call it half inflation and half profit and we'll account for this by setting the capital gains rate at half the income tax rate.
Remember companies (that you might have shares in) or yourself as a land lord are (ostensibly) paying tax on profits as you go. Capital gains tax is in addition to this.
This comment is already long enough so I'll leave the conversation on whether this stuff is true in practice as an excercise for the reader, but it at least starts from a sensible place.
At least where I live (not the US), if you're day trading stocks or flipping houses you'll pay income tax not capital gains tax (ostensibly 😆).
I have minor beef with Immich and basically any larger project and the way they go about their Docker Compose. Basically I feel they make the assumption that they’re the only thing running.
^Disclaimer: I fully accept this is all just me being too stupid and not the Immich development team.
This might be my turn to be too stupid but isn't the point of docker that they all run in containers so it doesn't matter? They can all use the same database port, because the database is in a container and so doesn't prevent another database container using the same port. The port doesn't need to be exposed to the host.
The only issue that comes up when running lots of services is accessing them all over http, and that's what a reverse proxy is for. I run a dozen services on the same machine, mostly using the default docker compose files, and never have to mess with things like you have here.
Thanks for the run down! I saw there's a free version but didn't seem too different, so it's good to get the opinions of a user!
Rather than having to search everything you can have your commonly used apps show in a list on the home screen. Personally I turn this off and have a clean home screen, but pin favorites above the search bar. Tapping the search bar shows the most commonly used apps.
Also I think gestures are not from search results but from the home screen. I use gestures on my blank home screen. I have it set up so a swipe down opens the notification tray, a swipe right opens the camera, swipe left opens search, swipe up opens browser. But this is customizable. Not sure if it works if you have the common apps list showing on the home screen.
I don't think KISS has smarts like Niagara seems to. Just showing commonly used apps is about as smart as it gets. To my knowledge no notifications on the home screen either, though you can add widgets so maybe that's solvable in some way.
Anyway, seems they are similar but Niagara is a bit superior with KISS being a bit inferior but FOSS, both good options!
I can't seem to find info on it other than a few screenshots on the play store. Do you choose the home screen apps or are they auto-selected?
My launcher of choice right now is KISS which looks similar by default but I can't tell if they function the same. Anyone tried both KISS and Niagara?
That's racist!
I'm currently reading A City on Mars, by that web cartoonist guy and his wife. So far they are strongly arguing that stages 1, 2, and 3 are not actually feasible and that we should wait until technology is there and jump straight to 4. Basically the only reason the ISS works is because it's next to earth, you need way more support around the crew (i.e. way more people) if you can only launch a rocket there in a launch window every two years, it takes 6 months to get there, and it's too far away to do live comms.
It's been quite good if you're into that stuff. It has a chapter on space sex, and I just read a section on how the NASA tampon thing wasn't really about how NASA engineers don't understand women, but then gives an example that shows they definitely don't but it's not because of the tampon thing.
They also specifically address the single rocket landing then add more rockets to make a city thing.
This says you have been able to buy a Fairphone in the US since July last year, unless I've misunderstood?
