pill press is a pill press... antique and broken does not mean it can not still be fixed. So, yes. I see the point of eBay too. But reading the messages, I am confused it the listing got removed or not. She got several temporary bans for the same listing, and never listed it again; so I can only assume it was closed (not removed?).
> “pill press is a pill press... antique and broken does not mean it can not still be fixed.”
This is valid reason for enforcement of the rule.
What’s at issue, in all of these cases, is the lack of reasonable judgement of the case (appeal).
eBay’s place in the market (different from, say, Amazon or Walmart) is private sellers selling used items, vintage, collectible, rare, antique. This is exactly what this item is.
No average person would ever conceive of the item as itself being dangerous or harmful (like a gun or brass knuckles).
Whats more, no one would object to selling this antique on eBay to, say, a pharmacy to sit as decoration on a shelf.
On the face of it, it seem unlikely an impartial judge would rule the seller was not a good member of the EBay community, and deserves a restoration of their privileges.
the device is unlikely to also provide at scale if restored, which probably would also be a consideration. if you are serious to use it as a pill press, you would not go for this inconvenient option.
>Also, if you're going to give someone a lifetime ban for some keywords that AI picks up in a listing title, GIVE YOUR USERS A RED TEXT WARNING BEFORE THEY LIST IT TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE!
>They do that for BB guns and other items with WAY fewer consequences if you mess up!!
Thank you so much for pointing these out! Yes, it's react native. And thanks to your comment, I am also working on getting my account setup on open vsx
The community got fractured when the N9/950 did MeeGo Harmattan. This was a continuation of Nokia's Maemo OS that was based on Debian, but they just called it differently when they announced a collaboration. Nokia and Intel started a 'merge' called MeeGo (based on moblin and fedora). Nokia never actually used this in a device as they signed the famous partnership under Stephen Elop's guidance standing on a burning platform.
Sailfish is a successor of this actual MeeGo work that was done and therefore had an uphill battle. They never got the same traction as Maemo (or even Mer), so I never called this a successor of Nokia's work. Nokia created a community with developer conferences and handing out devices. Jolla couldn't do this ... and therefore remained niche.
My N900 with Maemo was fantastic. It's still working Just Fine, mechanically as good as when new (the Mercedes-door feeling sliding keyboard, for example), the only reason I'm not still using it is because it only supports up to 3G, and that isn't available anymore where I live. Such a nice phone. I could easily make Debian packages and install them, my minicomputer emulator for example.
The MeeGo transition stopped it for me, and Stephen Elop's burning-down-the-house strategy killed everything.
I have all of the NIT devices, but found the N810 the best; great keyboard, large, thin... but unfortunately no 3G. N900 is second best; great camera and nice User Experience
So they are using waydroid... nice! Use this myself a lot on Linux-based tablets/computers, like the Legion GO.
Wonder how well this integrates with the (edit: Sailfish) OS.
Unfortunately, this also does not do screenlocks and therefore has security restrictions and certain apps refuse to work properly.
I get your point: "patches are welcome", but I meant to understand what it does with Sailfish besides launching applications. Android and MeeGo had the idea of intents, like sending a file through a certain application. Also, the filesystems are probably separated.
Filesystems are separated but i used to bind mount Folders like Documents, Downloads, Pictures etc.. into the Android container.. thereby sharing the important data.
Other integrations could include making sure your contacts between Android and Sailfish are in sync.
Not sure what the status of notifications is.
Keeping the clipboards in sync.
Half of these things can be "hacked into" by using something like kde connect in the waydroid container.
Integration with Android intents like share etc .. would be stretching it..
'world domination' not possible with "Sorry not available in your country".
I have worked Sailfish before, so I know what to expect. while a great OS, it is hard to compete with the established market. even the inclusion of libhybris won't change that... as in that case, why not just buy an Android device. unfortunately privacy is a niche to tailor to
I have two Jolla phones left over from when they launched in India, years ago.
I vaguely remember there was an India specific phone running Sailfish as well, but by that time my company was no longer working with mobile applications.
We ported several proprietary telco Linux tools to Jolla but it turned out using a laptop with a 3G dongle was more convenient than a tiny low res screen (big surprise).
I’m not sure why they’ve limited themselves to Europe, probably because of support costs. Pity, Sailfish was ahead of the curve on many aspects, especially the swipe from the side UI pattern which showed up years later in IOS.
Yep, economics. They used to even have their own phone, but soon moved to repurposing Xperia devices. Not sure if there was a relation between Ericsson and Jolla employees, but this would not amaze me.
Note: I have worked a lot on MeeGo and Maemo before this. I only had Sailfish running on my N950s, so can't judge the final devices. Wish I could ...
I'm using an Xperia 10 III w/Sailfish now, but honestly I liked the Jolla phone I had previously much better. Unfortunately the latter eventually developed an electrical glitch which made it useless and I had to replace it. The Xperia is way way too long, and with other physical things I don't like - but that was the only option if I wanted full Android support (as I had with the Jolla phone). And it doesn't handle the camera very well (it can take many seconds before it actually takes the photo, and there seems to be other issues too). It also didn't handle a Japanese SIM card very well, unlike the old Jolla one.
Other than that it works fine, but there's definitely room for improvements.
It would lose power suddenly, and restart. Battery was fine (replaceable), so it looked like a glitch somewhere in the electronics. But I used it for many years until then (had to give it up this spring).
Honestly the N9/N950 feels a lot more polished - UI wise - than sailfish.
It is kind of expected, given the budget of Nokia ... But even some of the design and aesthetic choices of Sailfish don't really age well once the novelty wears off
Same thought here. Why would Obsidian bother with AI? Oh wait, this is publish? So this is what $8 per month gets you? I am amazed, as I would have at least expected a subhost: [username].publish.obsidian.md
