Me: Let’s see how the FairPhone folks are doing… maybe I was overly harsh on them and they’ve used the time to wean themselves off of Google… what with being Waag and all…

Also me: fucking what the fuck now?

*sigh* 🤬

@aral fairphone is such an overt case of modern sale of indulgences, I can't believe people fall for it.

@31113 @aral I mean, some of their marketing is that but they also make the only reparable phone around, so if you care about that it's a pretty good argument

@xandru @31113 @aral they arent the only ones, but other companies tend to be smalller and more expensive. I personally went for a shiftphone, and I know a friend that went for volla, but they are just advertising the reparable part (they also make their own os, iirc). There are maybe others out there.
