I can't believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he's onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. 🤭

When they ditched the headphone jack fairphone ditched environmentalism.

The fairphone 3+ was their last fair phone.

It's just another cheap phone now. Made in the same place from the same stuff as other makers, with maybe a year of extra security updates.

They started by doing stuff differently, now they do things the same as everyone else and want to pretend they're different.

It's still a modular, repairable phone. That's objectively different to a regular phone. Not to mention the broad support for ROMs.

I still wouldn't buy one because of the cost, reduced performance, reduced battery life, and worse screen than other phones. It's not worth it even if it's upgradable as it can't be upgraded enough to stay relevant forever anyway unlike a framework where you can plop in a new motherboard.
