    Many years ago I worked on a project with some FSF staff who refused to use non-FOSS solutions to coordinate or conduct meetings. While the developers involved where all prolific contributors to open source projects used by millions of people, they were all willing to compromise on some of the tools we use to develop and communicate for “the greater good”. The FSF staff weren’t willing to make those compromises. At the time I was frustrated by this. As Slack ownership changed, costs increased and policies around what they could do with “our” data evolved, I now have a lot more respect for the FSF staff who are “holding the line”.

    I had a Galaxy Fold 5. I had a Fold 3 before this. I bought the 3 used for $800 to try out the form factor. The screen on the 3 split, but Samsung still gave me $600 in credit towards a Fold 5. No hardware issues with the 5. I doubt I’ll ever go back to a smaller phone because of the work related tasks I can do with the additional screen real estate.

    For me the killer app is being able to review VRT failures. Before the Fold, I had to have a tablet or my laptop handy to avoid potential delays. Now I can review a VRT failure anywhere. This has allowed to spend more time with my kids. Worth every penny.
