android is pretty locked down, and being locked down further this year to allow only google-sanctioned software. following this trend will see actually unlocked and repairable computers replaced by locked phones. pixels are better than average but not available everywhere.

are the ifixit guides gonna help me replace the busted storage chip that renders my phone unbootable? i can just replace it for cheap on my laptop.

I guess?

Enabling people to minimize the number of devices they need

this is literally the biggest issue here. relying on a country that doles out sanctions and bombings like it's parking tickets.

and increasing reliance on google and the aforementioned empire for underpowered computing is not a positive at all.

yay, locked down unrepairable computers owned by a us company that aids in war and surveillance!

i hope keep this up until i need a new phone

right-wingers aren't allowed on leftist spaces. nothing positive comes from that.

haven't read the article just yet, but these companies are known for price fixing and colluding for decades now

they arent dumb tho. this is the dystopia they want to build.
