Oh btw all, Fairphone 5 is out https://www.fairphone.com/en/, I remember @jlj was interested in it! :D

@prologic It's the new model of Fairphone? :D It's self upgradable and repairable, not sure about the upgradable part.
Self as in the user repairs his own phone.
@adi @prologic It's worth bearing in mind that

- Fairphone has taken a considerable amount of VC funding so, sooner or later, that bill will become due: (see: https://techcrunch.com/2023/01/31/fairphone-growth-capital-raise and https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/fairphone)
- Fairphone comes with Google Play apps by default, so it's also a spyware vector (see: https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/110978014080809471)

I used to have a lot of hope for them but these two ingredients mean that enshittification is virtually inevitable.
@abucci Let's say that for me personally it's an option that _sucks less_.
@adi Sucks less compared to what? Define "sucks"?

@prologic To having to buy a new phone every year for instance?
@adi I don't buy a new phone every year. Who told you you needed to do that? 🤣 I _think_ I've had my current iPhone for umm ~3 years now 🤞~

@adi oh yeah, no doubt. I just like to keep an eye on these things because I hate being blindsided.
