    @mariusz @platlas There is a lack of transparency on the part of Ecosia regarding the infrastructure they use (probably for the reasons I pointed out).I hope that Ecosia and Qwant, through #EUSP, will enable Ecosia to greatly improve its European digital sovereignty with the help of Qwant.I just want Ecosia to stop relying on US infrastructure and Big Tech, because in Europe we have much more sustainable, cheaper alternatives that are better aligned with Ecosia's interests and mission and support the local businesses.#eusp #eu #sovereignty #ecosia #qwant #sustainability

    @waldschneckeHere's a "Fairphone Angel", I got my first FP3 in 2020 then I had FP5 and now FP6.For the same price you can get a better phone both from a performance point of view and from a "stability" point of view (it's like using Linux, sometimes you need to workaround a problem).So, if you buy it on a "weak motivation" there's a risk you get disappointed because it's strong point is ethics.I'd say FP is a phone for human rights or environmental activists, people who put that stuff above many other things.This being said, it's a good phone, you can make calls, browse the internet, listen to music, you have Wi-Fi, Bluetooh, NFC and all that nice stuff.It's also the only phone I've ever had that makes me proud of it. Usually, a phone can make you happy if it's a good phone but not make you proud of it. Well... FP does it.There is a strong community (the Linux analogy is always OK) that can help you if you run into troubles. There is a support team that's really slow to reply in case you need it so better if you keep a backup phone, just in case. However, when I had a problem (and after letting me wait for weeks) they really made everything they could to solve it. I've never seen the same involvement in any other support service.Despite my involvement on the project I never suggest to anybody he/she should buy this phone, I don't want that responsibility. Satisfaction can be very different depending on how you weigh technique and ethics.However, it's my phone since 2020, I'm happy for that and I would never change my FP6 for an iPhone 37 (or whatever number they are now ๐Ÿ˜€ )My best wishes you can make the best choice for you.P.S. If you live in Sweden have a look at "Bark Sweden" wooden cases. They have also for FPs, I've got one and it's the best suit for that phone ๐Ÿ˜€

    @sinituulia uops, the Bohemian linen is more expensive than I remembered, indeedbut maybe that's also because up to now I've only bought it during one of their big sales, that helps :Danyway, even at full price it's still cheaper than the Italian linen from my local shop :D

    @OldTodgerThe only AI I'm aware of is Gemini but you must enable it, it's not enabled by default.Of course it's a Google phone with all pros and cons. However, you can also buy FP6 with e/OS/ preinstalled.I'm not a fan of phone rooting but as far as I know you can install other OSes on your FP. Anyway, on these topics I leave the floor to @WeAreFairphone because it's not my cup of tea.
