    There’s weird things though because they intentionally strip the Canadian language and region options out of AOSP and that causes some odd behaviour. Whenever I switch from my home towers to the ones around Nanaimo I get this odd message saying “Region changed to US, rebooting.” And then the phone reboots.

    A couple of times its gone into a complete bootloop and required reflashing because of this.

    Also you have to use Australian English as the closest Canadian English.

    At least, that’s the e/OS experience on Fairphone 6. Still waiting for a release for postmarket







  • That’s fair, and people will use things different than the intention of the thing if it suits them. My point was more to highlight that you cannot group all things where buying and selling happen as “marketplaces” and expect the same protections/moderation etc.

    This new tool is to replace the local ads/garage sale like equivalents with something self hosted. EBay is not one of these, regardless of how people choose to use it. As an auction site it is on a different level in both functional and legal experience. You cannot expect that from Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace Kijiji, or you local newspaper ads or garage sales.
