But they’re talking mainstream support and windows is much more popular.

Well um actually a Linux workstation would be GNU/Linux and chromeos is only the Linux kernel. /s
I just can’t get over the walled garden and shit notifications. Like, fuck Google but why can’t I own my device.
Looks like mostly nachos
Sues corning for making all that glass that transmitted the piracy.
Some of the most unruly people I’ve ever known are women. I think women just emphasize better and with media from a connection to those who are in or made the media.
Do they pay you to “yeah but” for them or are you just a simp?
But iPhones get long support, pixels now get 7, and S24 get 7.
Fairphone themselves even admits they can’t fix everything in production so a phone that was about to be waste is more fair.
If they built their phones in Germany or something I could accept the price but they’re made in China where labor standards aren’t exactly great.
I mostly can’t get over paying more for worse specs. It doesn’t have to feel bad now but with 8 years of support it could very easily not feel good in the future. It’s a $760 phone that benchmarks close to the Samsung A54 a $400 phone.
The selling point is the ethical value of the phone but it’ll never top how much waste buying a used phone saves.
With the Linux community I think it’s canon to say the socks stay on. From the socks that are adorned with sandals to the socks that go above the knee.
Even renters have rights. If you’re buying something like this you likely have no rights in the matter and the license you agreed to made sure of it.
Sounds like Scooby Doo’s lost cousin Sue Doo
No. You’re allowed to have a different opinion than me.
I agree but they are not technically market monopolies.
This isn’t how market competition is done though. Otherwise every product you listed is a monopoly.
Are you’re saying competition doesn’t exist because products aren’t the same?
I’m trying to not disparage your argument here but if I go with your reasoning then I feel like there is no competition so that you can justify prices not going down. Where I believe competition simply doesn’t lower prices because capitalism desires more profit not less profit. Why fight over scraps when you can create a market by manipulating people into thinking: Green chat bubble mean poor so me no use RCS or open blue bubble because green bubble mean poor.
If competition didn’t exist for apple then they could give android an imessage app.
They certainly do compete with each other but it’s just a general misconception that competition lowers prices.
Pepsi and Coke have been competing with each other for decades and Coke has larger market share. So why doesn’t Pepsi just lower prices? Pepsi even has the diversified income of doing more than drinks. Lowering prices doesn’t lead to market share and Coke can just match the price.
Look at Apple’s growth in the American market, they can sell a product that is significantly more expensive than competitors and still gain market share.
Really funny because you can’t sue a gun maker for the guns they sold killing people. I say funny but I mean that it’s so depressing I have to laugh to maintain sanity.
By that same rational: My not getting a raise is a lost sale because if I had more money I would buy more. So is corporate profit a lost sale?
I worked in supporting those and I had an easier time helping people with windows phones. 🤢
