@furtiveParalysis @viov Fairphone should start the "fairness" that I can reinstall its OS like of a PC. It does not do that, IT IS CLOSED HARDWARE LIKE A SAMSUNG, so do not buy it!!!

I'm in the embedded market and have kept my first FP3 8 years it was pretty outdated technically but its fairness is intact (in fact it's still in use).

It is not a FOSS hardware indeed, it isn't like a samsung either, it is I think the top of the game among existing consumer solutions.

@furtiveParalysis I summarize your answer: "Yes it is closed hardware, you badass linux guy. Here can you crack it, like of a f...ing samsung: <link>"

You are a badass linux guy mate. Although a bit hater than solution oriented

[–] peterhorvath@mastodon.de -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

@furtiveParalysis Why don't you simply admit, it is not fair at all, it is only a marketing trash? It is the same like a samsung. Or motorola.

Because i'm not convinced by your argument. You side on the puritain view and I'm pragmatic, therefore we disagree despite being broadly on the same page.
