Are HMDs really more repairable? Most recent phone they had that tried to be repairable was Skyline and even there it was pretty limited. And btw that one didn't have a jack either.

I'd be tempted to say this is good news, but I bet it'll end up being just another tax on poor nations.

Edit: amusing how these days "all major nations" does not include US anymore

It's not just perception, it's mindless tribalism and it's a form of bigotry in itself. It's no better than doing things to "own the libs" or whatever.

And the irony, some express this attitude on lemmy, which unlike signal is an actual platform, not a chat app, and with tankie roots to top it off.

It is what it is, I suppose.

This is so sad. I thought the whole paper mail infrastructure was essentially eternal due to its importance.

Letter numbers have fallen since the start of the century from 1.4 billion to 110 million last year.

110 million is still A LOT of paper letters. Shame the service will be gone.

PostNord has weathered years of financial struggles and last year was running a deficit.

Again, I thought this was a national strategic resource, regardless of profit. Over here in europe's armpit the national post has been running at a loss for nigh on 40 years, and it's still kept afloat, for better or worse.

That moment when you're too far right for the far-right.
