Imagine you could install any software on any device. The devices you own that don't receive updates anymore, or where you found out that the software is full of ads/tracking. You could replace it, maybe with a Linux distro like postmarketOS running mainline. These devices wouldn't need to be electronic waste. We signed @fsfe's #openletter to the EU to make this happen.
You can sign it, too!

in reply to postmarketOS • • •Seeing the list of organizations having signed somehow doesn't make it plausible there were only 2 individuals signing it in the same period. So what's wrong here?

in reply to IzzyOnDroid ✅ • • •the list is so small because until today only organisations have been able to sign the letter and the list is also only updated every 24 hours, so the list will be longer tomorrow : )
