So FairPhone are launching the 5th version of their phone and right there on the page (which I won’t link to):
“All of your favorite Google Apps will be right there with you.”
Nothing like a good bit of fair trade, environmentally-friendly surveillance capitalism, eh?
(I spoke with them when they were just starting out. They fully know and understand what #Google’s business model is. They fully understand what #SurveillanceCapitalism is. This is not an oversight; it’s strategy.)
@aral that's a shame, I'm thinking about buying one when my current phone breaks down some day. I really like their easy repair model and long support. tbh I already have google spyware on my current phone so there would be not much of a difference.
Realistically speaking there is basically no alternative, you either use google spyware or apple spyware, and that's sad.
@astromateusz See https://framapiaf.org/@jeanjean/110978096676337328
(Apparently /e/os has dealt with the security concerns regarding how they installed apps, so I’m more inclined to recommend it now.)
@aral ohh that's nice
I will check it out, thx.
