  • Freedom/privacy/Linux device makers are the problem, not the distros, they’re fine. I’m sure their CEOs are very knowledgable about what they’re doing. The only thing that matters for me is whether I can get them without paying customs fee at my local e-shop. There is a reason why Framework, Pine64, System76 and other privacy manufacturers are on freedom-hating social media. To get reach. So why they shouldn’t do the same with local e-stores?













  • The problem are not the distros, not even the phones itself. The problem is that these FOSS/privacy phone manufacturers don’t sell their stuff through local e-shops like Alza. This makes them more greedy than the big tech and it is one of the reasons why they’re not widely used. Yeah, they lose 30% (or whatever percentage they have in the contract with the store) but this will recoup itself in the long run.

    This is doing business 101. Don’t think short term, think long term.
