I personally bought a pinephone this last week and plan to try and stabilize it enough to hand to family members. Possibly I’ll even start selling tech support for it.
I’m not by any means a supporter of either political establishment either. But I believe we can’t have a two tiered system. If corporations are going to exert power over the population, it can be combated.

Biden’s adding them to his staff now. That could be a good thing (know the industry, etc). But it could also be used as a governmental hammer on alternatives.
