    I mean its a small company. We have become too used to subsidized costs at the sake of our privacy. Know why TVs are now $200? They are literal spyware in the home. Try buying one without spyware, $999 real fast for the same TV.

    Know why phone companies give you a “free” $1000 phone? Youre the product. Constantly tracked and sold. A digital slave.

      Pinephone was a fraction of that price. Can’t you run PostmarketOS on a Fair phone too? But that has much better specs.

        The pinephone was atrocious (As a daily) though. From what I’ve heard from owners it still struggles to this day to run basic mobile Linux OSes.

      Phone companies dont give you a “free” $1000 phone, you’re actually paying more for it via the monthly bill payments.

      That’s on top of you being the product as well.
