@rraggl

Yes, I use my Xperia XA2 Ultra with Sailfish OS as a daily driver. In fact, I have never used Android or iOS.

@jolladevices

Never heard about the J-D store tbh and I've been using Sailfish OS since the Jolla 1!

Yeah, the only way I see for these projects to gain enough relevance atm is using the momentum from movements like #UnplugTrump

@rraggl

Exactly! And yet I read more criticism than positive messages even at the Fediverse. Let's support them!

Btw: I've been using Sailfish OS for the last 7-8 years (didn't count 😉). If you need any help, let me know. I will do my best!

@rraggl

And how are they supposed to get the funds when people don't buy their product because they can't act like the big players?

I seriously doubt this will happen because of the use of a certain ERP solution.

Another vicious circle I'm afraid. These companies are too small to have logistics and a customer service that could keep up with the likes of Google, Samsung or Apple. And if people don't support them because of this, they can't grow, meaning they're too small to have logistics ... and so on.

One reason for #SailfishOS (Jolla's product) not gaining more traction is that apart from their #JollaC2 you can't simply buy a phone with it installed. And if #fairphone (and #shiftphone for that matter) won't do it until these systems gain more traction we're in a vicious circle. So what we need is an idea to get out of this!

Planned obsolescence, and why Apple dumped thousands of working computers in a landfill. in c/technology@lemmy.ml

Very interesting and enlightening! Thanks for sharing!

I have to say, I don't get why they defend "new Apple" and Steve Jobs so much in the end. They're still anti-repair, they're still anti-standard and yet the claim, Steve Jobs was thinking very user-centric goes completely unchallenged, when standards are clearly in the interest of the users!
