Anachron :void:

Here is a crazy idea for all those phone makers out there:
Make it repairable, last long and stop surveiling us at each and every step.

What we want is freedom and choice, not 10% faster cpu, 15% more battery, 5% slimmer and 20% less features with every release.

Oh and while we're at it, maybe support it for more than 2 years because... we actually still have an environment that we can save?

Sincerly
Everyone.

@Anachron Take a look at : it's NOT surveiling you at all (challenging but doable), it's somewhat repairable (a bit hard), but it doesn't last that long (hard if you want the other two).

@Anachron @purism
Oh btw, it's the the battery doesn't last long.

The support will last forever as long as people use it. It's just Linux.

@Anachron I would also appreciate smaller phones too. Not everyone uses their phones for watching everything.

@Anachron not perfect but I find the Nokia g22 is at least a small step in the right direction

@Anachron in Eu the best overall project is fairphone.com (but I think now they are also selling in the US).
The repairability is at the top, you can change os without breaking support and has sustainability and ethics at its basis.

Some time ago on the home page it said something similar: the most sustainable phone is yours. Don't buy this phone unless yours is broken.

Personally I had the version 2 for 6 years and now I'm writing from version 4.
