Wow. Republic Wireless seems quite pricey, by my standards anyway.

I imagine it works well, but if you hardly ever use the cell towers, that's a lot to pay for a SIP phone!

Good luck! I have an Asus ZenFone that I've replaced the screen on twice, recently the touch panel died and then the power button disintegrated. The battery is, at this stage, also next to useless. I'm still considering reviving it as it's a good board. I'm just a bit torn having already having junked two screens.

@bhaugen @bob @humanetech@mastodon.social
Actually, if the back is coming unstuck, then that's good news for replacing the battery!

Voice-over-WiFi or "wifi calling" is basically and hyped-up term for (which is also the basis of VoLTE)
VoWiFi and VoLTE both use slightly "enhanced" versions of VoIP protocols to communicate with the core network. It's just that with VoLTE, the traffic is via the IP connection on the mobile Radio Access Network (cell tower) (with some QoS assurances) where as with VoWiFI it is using your internet to reach the core network.

Ugh, Phones with design like the Moto X are a curse. There is a lot of adhesive to warm and small parts to fiddle with. That said, while you might not feel up to taking it on yourself, there are probably people who have the tools and practice to do it without too much effort. It may be an option if the device otherwise works for you? This way you only junk the old battery, not the entire device, and you avoid creating the junk that your new phone will eventually become

@bhaugen @zabbeer @bob @humanetech@mastodon.social @Fairphone
When you say wifi calls, do you mean your (phone number) provider's native service (VoWi-Fi) or some other VoIP usage?

@bhaugen @bob @humanetech@mastodon.social

A phone that makes phone calls? hmmm.

But seriously, Whenever I think, or read "I need a new phone" I want to ask why, and you mention calls, albeit specifically wifi calls. What else?

You use a #FreeSoftware OS. From what age does a computer "gets old" for you?

Mark Zuckerberg and team consider shutting down Facebook and Instagram in Europe if Meta cannot process Europeans' data on US servers.

What device do you generally use (most often) to access Fedi?

Hi. Sorry for not getting back to you on this. I don't like to leave questions without a response, but I'm a bit lost about which argument this is.

Free as in not having to run servers?

"connected" is also a concept I have trouble with - knowing what is meant when it is used is difficult.

If there existed some "centre for abuse of adjectives", I'd have to file a report. 😃

Proof is in the pudding.

Not to worry though, GitHub's days as a forge are almost over. Soon it will be relegated to little more than a directory (search engine) for projects, once
#Gitea completes their ForgeFed / ForgeFlux #ActivityPub #Federation integration (Now in limited release) which will obsolete the #monolithic_silo, leaving GitHub little more than a place-holder with README.mg files to locate FOSS repos elsewhere on Federated forge servers that are horizontally scaled in the #Fediverse.

@Ged @yarmo

Also we need to ebrace "failure". For often the definition of "success" is owned by our opponents and their cybernetic machines that count everything on Earth. Let's aim for quality not quantity!

"Failing" at getting quantity at anything is a step towards learning how to do it better, even if only for ourself.

Here again the main objective is to not *let ourselves be discouraged* by the machines-and-their-numbers of our opponents, who tell us when we "succeed" and when we "fail"!

@Ged @jz @yarmo

Hey!.. Forgive me to point it out, but it's obvious your mistake. If you had've done PEERTube videos it all would have worked out great!
😜

@Ged @yarmo
This is a REALLY good description of why running servers is not fun - anymore.

Further to what @jz points out, it's worth stopping for a moment (or longer), (re)thinking about the WHY of any of it.
From the point of view of my work in a fragmented oft-disconnected world off of the beaten track of the data-highways, there may be no other choice but to run servers! The good thing is that a not-connected space is also a less hostile place; a good space to learn to have FUN again.
