  • ... And Fedora Silverblue. Perfect for tinkering. I love how I can always install apps and remove them at my leisure, without leaving traces ;)

  • This is a really impressive story. Thank you for sharing it - for me, it seems that you have come quite a long way.

  • Ahhhh, that makes sense! Thank you, I got very confused - you clarified it a lot :)

  • Sorry, that's now how I meant my original post - I just thought that I really like SPD already and was interested in what PD makes better/ what features SPD missed. I in no way wanted to say that PD was bad, just was excited to know what PD made better :)

  • SPD is already pretty good though, why is PD better?

  • Do the Fossify versions already have new features? I'll still using Simple Mobile Tools from F-Droid, without ads, and am asking if it makes sense to download Fossify apps already

  • The urge to comment "I use Arch btw" is overwhelming

  • Yes, absolutely. But many cheap devices are relatively data-friendly, and many expensive are data collection machineries. While there is obviously a correlation, it definitely isn't a causality, and I feel strange breaking it down like that.

  • You know, you're right. I've deleted my main comment - I think this topic cannot be broken down that easily. While I am concerned that privacy laws are often ridiculed by big companies, my comment was very classist. So thanks for calling me out, I feel weird about it now.

  • True. I am sorry for not specifying it, I should've done it. Of course if someone gets a cheap 100$ phone out of necessity, it is very weird of me to judge this person.

  • I mean, good idea ;) P. S.: I've yet to meet a Linux guy who wouldn't help out another Linux person. Well, admittedly I'm the only Linux guy, but I'd help Linux people just because of principle ¯(ツ)

  • Ehm, two days for me ;)

  • Yeee, I use the F-Droid version, so they're clean.

    Still a shame though...

  • Can you link one of them you consider credible? I've never heard of that, tbh.

  • Hmmm, I'm just not sure - what qualifies as an active part? I think what for me matters is if your action has signicifact influence. Would you change the situation if you would've acted otherwise? I think for these day-to-day cases, I think it is a strong claim to make that "if you wouldn't have used these apps, the situation for the delivery drivers would be different". It is different for influences - both in the social media realm and people with money/power, whose actions - or non-actions - actually can change the situation of the workers. But if your action - or non-action - won't change the situation, then how can one claim that one is actively making it worse?

  • I think you raise a good point, I agree. Especially that the problem is very systematic.

  • Okay, makes sense - I fully agree. Just wanted to clarify :)
