It's hard to communicate how being on gentler part of The Slope of Enshittification doesn't mean you're off the mountain, it just means there's a climb ahead, and eventually you're going to be clinging to a cliff.

Why the focus on Porsche and VW?

Maybe a better question:
How do you pick up the pieces of an economy after a murderous dictatorship burned through it? I am not sure there are any right answers here.

Invest-NL and Quadia are both impact investors

Again, not perfect, but at least working toward ideals pragmatically.

@aral I'm not sure what's outrageous about a company that makes #android phones making android phones? #fairphone has chosen a very specific battle to fight in this industry, and this is a battle they will lose if they're fighting on other fronts. They have a history of supporting other builds on their phones, and, as others here have mentioned, @murena sells fairphones without #google.

I couldn't find anything related to your key0 claims. Can you provide a source?

The last point about firmware support is demonstrably not true. Fairphone, and the open source Android community, did a lot of work to support the Fairphone 2, and it's Qualcom 801 SoC up to Android 10. This is well documented. They also continued bug fixes and patches for the Fairphone 2 through March 2023.
