There are always people who think any sacrifice or suffering is stupid.
Every good thing tbey currently enjoy and are so proud of their cleverness in securing for themselves, whether it's a tech toy or a liberal law, only exists because someone before them took on the burden of bringing about the change, which made their lives actually a bit more difficult in the immediate.
Some people see that as stupid but I sure don't.
- seabass-labrax 4y agoIndeed - to use proprietary software is to suffer, but you can still let it into your life and be 'net-positive in freedom' both for yourself and for others. I'm very grateful to those behind the FOSS applications that I use for making the personal sacrifices necessary to develop them for everyone.
- Brian_K_White 4y agoTo be clear I was saying that I see no problem with using a pinephone almost no matter what deficiencies it might have compared to the latest galaxy or iphone etc.
- seabass-labrax 4y agoAh, I see! Yes, there's that also. However, there's something strangely exciting about coping with a flickering screen for months, to turn your phone on one day to find it fixed - mainstream options tend to degrade over time instead! I'd say as a rough estimate that the PinePhone is about 95% there compared to a comparably-priced Android phone by this point.
