@BuyFromEU and I hope they install @murena e/OS to reduce the dependency of US of A further
-
@BuyFromEU way to go!
-
@BuyFromEU Amazing news
-
@BuyFromEU Awesome, for (semi-)public expenses, factor in public values!
-
@BuyFromEU I wish they supported GrapheneOS
-
@BuyFromEU Now we need some Linux phones en mass, and it's done ✅
-
@BuyFromEU I want fairphones (and other options like it) in Canada very much. I looked into it before I decided to simply install @GrapheneOS on my Pixel, for now, as a compromise.
-
@BuyFromEU @wsslmn as you can repair a Fairphone very easy yourself, the total cost of ownership ia very reasonable. Especially for companies that can make a big difference when they can repair 'in-house'.
... And repairing 'in-house' can keep the phone operational longer.
-
@vosje62 @BuyFromEU I agree.
*sent from my Fairphone

@wsslmn @vosje62 @BuyFromEU It’s a good idea, but it depends on what you need your smartphone for. If you use a significant number of apps only available currently for Android or iPhone, it could become a lot more difficult to migrate. Certain apps (Tahoma etc.) should be made available also for alternative smartphones like #fairphone Jolla etc.

@Fietsbel my Fairphone runs normal Android.
But an important reason to buy is to be able to switch to e/os later.😉
An alternative os was on my old phone not possible.The apps I need seems to work on e/os. Didn't come to switching to e/os yet. 😇
-
@vosje62 @wsslmn @BuyFromEU But Android belongs to Google. I don’t want to leave Apple to switch to Google, definitely not. And honestly, I expect to have to solve a lot of unpleasant technical issues, before I’ll be able to migrate, but I hope I can solve them.
-
@Fietsbel @vosje62 @BuyFromEU e/OS doesn't and also works fine.
-
@Fietsbel @vosje62 @BuyFromEU I have just accepted that certain apps are not there anymore, and to me that is fine for now.
-
@BuyFromEU proud Fairphone owner here.
-
@Fietsbel @vosje62 @wsslmn @BuyFromEU The Android Open Source Project doesn't belong to Google
-
@wsslmn @Fietsbel @BuyFromEU
Some apps (like smart home applications) drive on data scraping and won't work on an other os by choice. -
@vosje62 @Fietsbel @BuyFromEU I don't miss those. All I have for that is Home Assistant to collect data in one spot, and that seems to work fine.
