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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

smartphone manufacturers have almost no common standards, they are made to be bought and then disposed of instead of upgrading the specs
it's impossible to do stuff like upgrading ram which would be very easy on a computer, and every smartphone has a different cpu
companies are doing their best to keep the open source guys out of the game, which in my opinion would solve a lot of the issues if this weren't the case
I want a smartphone without ios or android but just plain linux, which should be upgradable and durable, possibly with open source firmware and that kind of stuff
You want a Framework laptop
That shit is not going to fit in your pocket
I'd argue Fairphones are pretty close although I'd probably go with a custom FOSS rom
the thing I don't like about fairphone, just like any other phone, is that upgradability is still impossible. I wasn't able to find any information about it when I checked, which is an indication that it's not possible, otherwise they would probably use it as a marketing point
I think the focus on fairphone is more on sustainability and repairability than upgradability
maybe it'll become possible with a future fairphone, or the mikrophone project, or another group
