Why ? If I can give the same money to Murena, Iodรฉ or Fairphone ?

[โ€“] Octagon9561@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

Fairphone is great until you realize that the implementation is just bad, especially as far as security is concerned. They donโ€™t even use a current SoC and promise updates beyond Qualcommโ€™s end of life date which is a major red flag.

My answer was more oriented towards not giving google any money but I agree with you on supporting the "good guys" instead of just not supporting the bad guys.
