I recall the fairphone 2 being touted as an open platform with support for ubuntu touch, phosh and more. There’s not a word of that with the current lineup.
Comment on What do you think of framework and their methods?

They still have a SD card reader up to fucking 2TB but got rid of the headphone jack in favor of a little more water proofing, not my favorite decition but certainly not a reason to call the only even remotely fair phone with some actual fair trade and recycled materials and unfair…

I agree with you but want to highlight Shiftphone as another manufacturer which is prioritizing fair and more environmentally advantageous production.

Yea, they are a lot smaller and not that far yet but also a really cool project and definitely worth supporting too! It’s not exactly the same kind of device (you do need a certain amount of knowledge to fix stuff) but also very repairable, unlike with the Fairphone I don’t know anyone who owns one tho so I can’t say that much about it.

Looks like that same person made a followup video? It was suggested to me under the first one:
Why I was wrong about fairphone
I haven’t watched either yet, planning to do that tomorrow

Louis is a really cool guy but to link his old rant video and leave out the newer favorable one where he literally talks about them releaseing shematics as firt smartphone manufacturer ever is a really shitty move!!!
