Completely mind boggling to me that we threw away 5 billion phones in 2022.
Some of those could have been repurposed: smartphones are hardly innovating any more. The most eco-friendly phone is the one you already have.
We need to publicly support communities like @postmarketOS who work on making these phones repurposable, and @gnome that work on making a polished mobile experience that serves people, not creepy corporations.
@thibaultamartin @postmarketOS @gnome lemme hit me up if they managed to run postmarketOS on a Nokia N90.
On a serious note, I find old user interfaces for mobile phones interesting, and I do support projects such as this to lengthen the lifespan of phones. Whenever it's a HTC HD2, a Cherry Mobile Flare, or a Samsung Galaxy S4, it's important to have an operating system for the people who continue to use the hardware.
But of course, first we need to stop companies to make rooting hard.
