minus-squareqweertz@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down2·1 year agoI 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-squareqweertz@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 year agoArguably, 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-down2·1 year agoEh, the 2nd hand sellers also wouldn’t be buying if they couldn’t sell them.
minus-squareqweertz@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down3·1 year agoI would think that private buyers buy a phone they are gonna use and then sell it once they don’t use it anymore 🧠
