Spotlight on Fairphone, a FairTEC member !
Based in the Netherlands, @fairphone aims to revolutionize the smartphone industry ! 
The company not only designs smartphones, but also headphones 
and earphones that are #ethical, #sustainable and #repairable ! 
Just fixed a snapped headband base on my Fairbuds XL headphones using replacement parts direct from #Fairphone which made a bad situation feel less bad x
Exciting news! Our new /e/OS installer is available with the support of new devices (#Fairphone 5, #Pixel 8, Pixel #Tablet …) and it has passed numerous successful tests! The installation process becomes smoother than ever.
Find the list of devices supported by /e/OS Installer here

We also invite you to contribute to the project by helping add support for more devices.

Wow, we’ve hit 10K here! A huge thank you to all of you for supporting us. It’s awesome to see so many people who want to protect their privacy and trust us to offer a real #alternative 
Special thanks to everyone who tags us and recommends /e/OS – your support means so much!
Here’s to growing the #Privacy -first and #Ethical #Tech movement even more! 
@kuketzblog ich hatte mich leider für ein Google Pixel entschieden und erst recht spät von #fairphone erfahren welches mir Murena zu haben ist. Ich erwäge tatsächlich einen Wechsel weil es gefühlt jeden Tag was neues unter Google gibt was ungewollt mich als User betrifft.
Ohne Einwilligung tracken empfinde ich einfach als Frechheit.
Danke für den Beitrag. Den Core unter Android konnte man zumindest aktuell einfach deinstallieren auf dem Pixel.
@krutonium @quasigod I mean the advantage is that those devices are supported with @GrapheneOS ...
Personally, I need my #ToolfreeSwappableBattery, #DualSIM and #microSD as well s #HeadphoneJack and won't negotiate these, so #Fairphone is already loosing me as a customer and my next device will likely be something else...
[FairPhone - e/OS]
Wer hat ein FairPhone (egal welches Modell oder welche Version) mit „e/OS“ als Betriebssystem und kann etwas über seine Erfahrungen damit berichten?
Wie einfach/schwer zu installieren?
Wie stabil für den täglichen Gebrauch?
Irgendwelche schlechten Macken?
Danke fürs Mitmachen und vielleicht für das Teilen dieses Posts. 
How is everyone getting on if they use #fairphone ? I am thinking of switching from Apple to this. I see the supply chain ethics are a bit better than apple etc. So I figure it's worth doing. But what OS? Would banking apps, and card payments via NFC work in LineageOS? Or do ppl use /e/OS?
I thought only FairPhone made repairable phones, but HMD does too. They don't do everything that makes FairPhone great, but they're definitely worth consideration.
One problem: only 3 years of updates. 7 years of part availability can't fix that.
Maybe @LineageOS, @e_mydata, or @postmarketOS will support it.
Fairphone babies.
In August 2023, Fairphone bought Cobalt Credits worth $12000 to cover our total cobalt consumption that year, as part of a pilot program we initiated with the Fair Cobalt Alliance.
A year and a half later, we are getting to see how that money was actually used, benefitting the Kamilombe mining community in the DRC. While we are aware that $12000 isn’t a massive sum, the impact it has had on the 5000+ miners at Kamilombe is truly encouraging to say the least.
@forteller @ueeu @DresdnerForschungswerk @murena @Fairphone Thanks! Yes, I've looked at #fairphone and #murena . Nice to see that there are options. Running android (I see fairphones can come with it preinstalled) would not be an option, but /e/OS looks interesting. How does it hold up #privacy wise compared to e.g. #GrapheneOS , #calyxos or #LineageOS ? Haven't tried any of those, just read about them. I see very polarised opinions when I search. Little balanced comparison. A plus that you can get a fairphone with /e/OS preinstalled, of course (It's me. I'm "moderately- or non-technical people").
@kuketzblog ich bin ja wirklich von der Hardware und der Ideologie ein Fan von #Fairphone - aber ich denke das nächste Phone wird ein Pixel werden, und zwar einzig und alleine nur wegen #GrapheneOS
Where is Ireland? I have a feeling I will be replacing the OS on this before I switch over from my old Android Fairphone.
#Murena #Fairphone #Fairphone5
Alguien tiene un #fairphone ¿qué tal van? No me gustaría cambiar de móvil a corto plazo, pero por valorar alternativas. ¿Alguna otra opción que no sea comprarme un Pixel de segunda mano y hacerle cosas?
I now have Android 15 on my Fairphone 4! Thank you, @calyxos!
People who don't flash a new OS on their Fairphone 4 (and I can't blame them, it's not fun) are still on Android 13! I don't really understand why @Fairphone spends resources developing their own tiny tweaked Android and never being able to keep it up to date, instead of collaborating with Calyx or some other OS developer who are able to get out the latest releases.
I don't think that the 48.3% of Americans who voted against trumpists last year deserve a "#BoycottUS" and I remain inspired by and in solidarity with many American artists, scientists, public workers... who are the first to suffer under the current situation.
That said, Europe needs data security and protection from GAFAM hegemony in #cyberspace
Perhaps Americans themselves are safer and more free with #GOG #DeepL #Fairphone #arduino etc.
US-Unternehmen meiden – Warum jetzt?
In den #USA boykottieren viele Menschen große Konzerne wegen ihrer politischen Verflechtungen. Wer das auch hier tun will:
US-Firmen: #Amazon, #Microsoft, #Apple, #Google, #Intel, #AMD, #Dell, #HP, #Disney, #Facebook, #Instagram, #Netflix, #Twitter, #Tesla, #Adobe, #eBay, #Snapchat, #Airbnb, #Fitbit, #Activision, #Uber, #Garmin, #Bose.
Alternativen: #Nextcloud, #Fairphone, #Qwant, #DuckDuckGo. #boykott
Fairphone's BETA TESTER program is open for applications again. Please find the details in the link, but I'll single out three things: This is for the FAIRPHONE 
and 
, for users in 
EUROPE and unlike in the past there is NO DEADLINE to apply. /u
