I have VERY few and I cherish them.

Fairphone feels great to me. I think My coffee stuff is the same (Profitec, Eureka Mignon); no app or wifi or anything, fairly available spare parts.

Didn't fairphone start selling Bluetooth headphones after getting rid of the headphone jack

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 0 points 3 hours ago

Sure did. Repairable ones. I strongly prefer wired headphones and will keep using them as I can, and I ain't buying earbuds.

But I'd rather not let perfect be the enemy of good. I am not giving up a cellphone, so I'd rather have Fairphone trying (ans sometimes fucking it up) than give my money to anyone else in the market.

Them not being perfect in my eyes doesn't qualify as a hostile relationship between their corporation and me.
