This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anon is not alone

While I get and applaud the mission of the Fairphone, there are some serious compromises you have to make spec-wise to be on it.

Even in the greentext, dude paid $60, not bad for + ~3 years of life. Your run of the mill Android will probably be cheaper as significantly less "part serializing" bull happens on the android side

It's not worth the power-handicap they shove in that thing.

"Power handicap" compared to what like a 2k phone? My almost 4.5 yo Pixel 4a is still doing fine in terms of specs. Only the battery is junk by now. I don't need a phone that is more powerful and more expensive than my freaking PC, I just want one that does not make replacing the battery a huge pain in my ass.

When Apple can't exploit poor minorities with targeted ads, things will get better. Probably the most overvalued company out there rn. People don't realize how much Apple does to keep their pop culture status. It's getting harder an harder to maintain, but it will never truly go away.
