Repairability doesn't really matter if you only get two years of software updates.

Yes, there's lineage OS, but whether their support will be better, is doubtful.

We shouldn't support a company that openly says they don't give a crap about their users'safety.

In Germany there was a battle between left and right back then. The economy boomed in the 20s and faltered in the 30s. Capitalists saw the threat of socialism looming just behind Poland and so they supported fascism.

The Nazis funneled billions into large businesses. It was unsustainable and morally multi-level wrong, but they skimmed a lot of profits from these agreements. They got rich, while the economy started to collapse - even before the war.

Even after the war, most of them got away. They kept much of their wealth.

Unfortunately, the current finance minister is really that stupid.

Absolute braindead wannabe neoliberal.

Prudes....
