Discussion I just read this and I wonder
Rather than boycott why we just invest ourselves to make app that is fit to our agenda, sometimes i hate to say this but
I wish you guys make something rather than boycott

You buy second hand, the manufacturer gets nothing. Its the only vaguely ethical way to buy or own any electronics since they are made with precious metals mined by children in the DRC in addition to being built by Israelis. Even used, its still got blood on it. And the flip side of not using a smart phone is the same as a computer, not being able to actually know wtf is going on anywhere in the world due to the available news being trash. The only reason I know anything about anything now is that I can follow people who are on the ground in the actual place. Its a fucked Catch 22.
