    It’s time to hyper-analyze Fairphone here.

      Should we let the perfect be the enemy of the good? Fairphone are clearly going well above and beyond what other manufacturers are doing

          Specially if that justifies us not changing our habits ever.

      These guys seem more upfront about things compared to how framework has been dealing with their “big tent” situation.

          My short summary is they donated money to a linux project run by a nazi. When called out on it, they said that they wanted a big tent where everyone is included to help grow the ecosystem.

          I guess this is the paradox of tolerance in action.

              No, as the leftists love to say, anyone who doesn’t agree with us is a nazi because WE are the good guys.
