minus-squareResonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·23 天前You can also buy used or refurbished Fairphones too
minus-squareqweertz (they/she)linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down2·23 天前I suppose, but Fairphones are a security and thus a privacy nightmare. As soon as you cross a border or police get your phone, e/OS and CalyxOS are virtually useless

minus-square18107@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·23 天前I know, but I’d rather leave them to people who really want them, and support the people working hard to make open source products.

minus-squareJustEnoughDucks@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down3·edit-223 天前And then you indirectly pay google as you fund the people who buy google phones every time a new one comes out. Yes it is the best way to buy a google phone, but you are still supporting google in most cases.
minus-squareqweertz (they/she)linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·23 天前Arguably, 2nd hand private sellers would have bought it anyway and you are just saving e-waste at that point
minus-squareExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down2·23 天前Eh, the 2nd hand sellers also wouldn’t be buying if they couldn’t sell them.
minus-squareqweertz (they/she)linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down3·edit-223 天前I would think that private buyers buy a phone they are gonna use and then sell it once they don’t use it anymore 🧠
minus-squareExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·23 天前I was thinking of the shops that buy used and resell them.
