@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen yes, and to add insult to injury #Mozilla didn't even wanted to sell people like @fuchsiii or me a #FirefoxOS device, with the only one being "launched" in the #EU being a #SimLock'd & #NetLock'd #prepaid phone in #Spain one could only attain in-store with all the "#KYC" nonsense they had, demanding a legal address in Spain back then.

And #nerds like myself are far from the "#consoomer #Normies" for whom stuff that isn't on shelves at Staturn/MediaMarkt, BestBuy, Walmart, ... doesn't exist. I'm used to importing #tech that I want!

Continued thread

I'd rather be #cringe & #nieche than a #consoomer...

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@louisgrasset@mastodon.social At least I am self-aware that actually giving a shit about the #Envoirment and not wanting to waste € 2k on an [unrepariable]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CTX8W4UZUA ) [piece]( https://www.apple.com/de/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-16-pro/6,9%22-display-1tb-titan-schwarz ) of #ManufactureEwaste that [constantly spies on you]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r38Epj6ldKU ) and supports [literal slave labour]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev9_oDHNf-4 ) is a *"[nieche case]( https://mastodon.social/@louisgrasset/113264166489578996 )"* ... - Also [it seems as if I'm not alone]( https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/111944234401291321 ) in that regard... Make of that what you will, but if people don't voice their demands then noone is gonna listen. - After all, @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org got started by people who didn't want to continue #enshittifying #ThinkPads anymore... And yes, *"nieches cases are valid"* may it be the #ModelM [keyboard]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7wmMZmMinM ) or some actually #maintainable & #repairable #tech... - IDK if you just gave up and *"consoom yourself happy"* or not, but I guess I've to add this to my laundry list of #projects to do... And yes, I'd rather #Ghettohack myself some *"#JankTech"* #Chonker [phone ]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eaiNsFhtI8 ) instead of giving up!
