Opt out? Opt in? Opt Green!

50% of consumers buy new devices due to unsupported software, while the "tsunami of #eWaste" continues to rise.

#FreeSoftware #OpenSource can keep those devices in use and out of the landfill. Today!

Say hello to the new #KDEEco project "#OptGreen: #SustainableSoftware For Sustainable Hardware".

You don't need new hardware for a secure, up-to-date device; you just need the right software!

For what it's worth, there's the Upcycling Android project by the #FSFE.

@Bro666 Dosn't that need the phone to be unlocked by the provider in order for a new OS to be installed?

[-] Bro666@lemmy.kde.social 1 points 5 months ago

Probably. I would imagine they look to help you do that, though.

@Bro666 The annoying thing is most phones would work really well if it wasnt for the flimsy usb and the spyware. Most phones are truly bogged down with it, straight from the Chinese manufacturer
