Last Notes npub1q080g62emx0kp77ppff9fz329xyhzws5xc0s5f4s2ul5vlav7jmst0ux93 Baggypants The support argument is moot. A manufacturer who makes a repairable handset is likely to support it as much as any other. My FP3 had an OS update a few weeks ago. In which case we're left with "repairability is largely solved" vs "It's user repairable" I'm guessing you have other priorities of your handset purchase beyond mine. npub1q080g62emx0kp77ppff9fz329xyhzws5xc0s5f4s2ul5vlav7jmst0ux93 Baggypants How does Fairphones poor support compare to owning a phone that's completely unusable because of a battery though? A usable phone seems preferable to me. We will probably not agree on this point though. npub1q080g62emx0kp77ppff9fz329xyhzws5xc0s5f4s2ul5vlav7jmst0ux93 Baggypants Eh, I've little sympathy for people shelling out money on expensive items which other manufacturers are capable of making with parts that are user replaceable. npub1q080g62emx0kp77ppff9fz329xyhzws5xc0s5f4s2ul5vlav7jmst0ux93 Baggypants Is this a warranty thing or buying a phone without a user replaceable battery thing? npub1q080g62emx0kp77ppff9fz329xyhzws5xc0s5f4s2ul5vlav7jmst0ux93 Baggypants Which leader will be kidnapped next? npub1q080g62emx0kp77ppff9fz329xyhzws5xc0s5f4s2ul5vlav7jmst0ux93 Baggypants They don't even have the little black and white striped square in the corner to warn you! npub1q080g62emx0kp77ppff9fz329xyhzws5xc0s5f4s2ul5vlav7jmst0ux93 Baggypants You know you can fork F-Droid? It's open source. You can mirror their build server and create a repo, build all the apps F-Droid do and in doing so reemove any or all anti-features you care to. If you did this you might understand what a fucking stupid idea yours is to ask me to rebuild your app. If I did that it wouldn't be "Organic Maps". I'd need to distribute it under a different appid and change the name to avoid a trademark dispute. npub1q080g62emx0kp77ppff9fz329xyhzws5xc0s5f4s2ul5vlav7jmst0ux93 Baggypants It doesn't matter a damn if you say "Well we wont do that" because you can't guarentee you wont be hacked, or enforced by law, and the user wouldn't be any wiser. You are focussed on features and functionality, which is fine, but F-Droid are focused on freedoms. Don't assume they have the same mission as you. As a paranoid person I can build and host my own maps if I use Navit, without having to rebuild anything. npub1q080g62emx0kp77ppff9fz329xyhzws5xc0s5f4s2ul5vlav7jmst0ux93 Baggypants Its not an anti-feature to you because your in a place of relative comfort, but the inability of someone being able to host their own map data and have the app download from that could be important to, say, people in conflict zones without persistant internet.
