    I have nothing against supporting a project nor I can tell you what to do. However Fairphone has been in the market since 2013 iirc. That makes 13 years, yet here we are still getting aged hardware for a new flagship price. Supporting a project such as theirs doesn’t justify the shitty phones they make in my humble opinion.

      That’s a fair point but fairphone also tries to manufacture the smartphones more sustainable than the other manufacturers (unfortunately I can’t tell how big that difference really is). Nevertheless you might be right in that it’s maybe more effective to buy another phone and fund f.e. /e/OS directly.
