    You know, Valves decision years ago investing into the Linux eco system and literally pumping millions of dollars into open source development, contributing, hiring the sole maintainers of stuff like dxvk and more.

    This brought Linux and especially the Linux desktop a lot further than without it.

    We all gained through it.

    And those new products are, like your Fairphone, designed with repairability and consumer rights in mind.

    You talk like Fairphone does earn nothing in their phone’s and their are not in it for the money. Well, bad news. They made 54.400.000€ euro net profit last year.

    So, go and stick your pseudo elitist behavior up your ass

      We all gain through a lot of things related to wealthy shitheads. I’m not against companies making money but we shouldn’t be bootlicking any billionaire.

        Billionaire fanboyism has got to be the stupidest most sheepish behaviour imaginable, possibly even worse than looking up to celebrities who are famous for being famous because billionaires are literally hoarding money which could be way more useful to billions of people.

    You say this like the Fairphone’s CEO isn’t a billionaire.

      Is he, though?
      They sell around 100k phones per year. They had an annual revenue of ~55k euros for the past three years and are barely profitable. It isn’t worth billions.

        For context, and to help with the semantics, allow me to add that 1 million seconds is 12 days. Meanwhile, 1 billion seconds is around 31 years. So, fairphone CEO can hardly be a billionaire. They do have profit, sure. We all make a living, their is way higher than average but still far from those ‘unicorns’ we call billionaires.

        Ps. I’m with you since your first comment. You just got downvoted because it was being too snarky. Thankfully other user replied showing all the bad things Valve has (while, as we all know, having 1 tangentially-nice thing which is that they used Linux for their products)
