minus-squareqweertz (they/she)linkfedilinkEnglish8•23 days agoOk this is gonna blow your mind, you can buy used or refurbished Pixels
minus-square@Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish3•22 days agoYou can also buy used or refurbished Fairphones too
minus-squareqweertz (they/she)linkfedilinkEnglish2•22 days agoI suppose, but Fairphones are a security and thus a privacy nightmare. As soon as you cross a border or police get your phone, e/OS and CalyxOS are virtually useless
minus-square@Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish3•22 days agoI’d interested in learning about this, if you have any links at hand

minus-square@18107@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglish1•22 days agoI know, but I’d rather leave them to people who really want them, and support the people working hard to make open source products.

minus-squareqweertz (they/she)linkfedilinkEnglish8•22 days agoArguably, 2nd hand private sellers would have bought it anyway and you are just saving e-waste at that point
minus-square@ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish1•22 days agoEh, the 2nd hand sellers also wouldn’t be buying if they couldn’t sell them.
minus-squareqweertz (they/she)linkfedilinkEnglish-1•edit-222 days agoI would think that private buyers buy a phone they are gonna use and then sell it once they don’t use it anymore 🧠
minus-square@ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish2•22 days agoI was thinking of the shops that buy used and resell them.
