isnt that just a FOSS operating system for phones and tablets?

if its something more sinister, I'd be interested to learn it.

    It could very well be, I’m not familiar with this product at all. It does come to my attention that the statue of liberty’s torch is the most prominent visual element on the page; combined with the block of text and the name of the phone itself I could definitely see where the poster is coming from, it gives off a nationalist air despite it being fairly reserved/neutral in its visual language. It kinda makes me think the purism name was no coincidence but I’d like to think otherwise

    ive done some digging to see if there's some glaring issue I'm just not aware of. i found no evidence whatsoever so far of anyone using this device or saying these phones or devices are used for anything criminal or nationalist activity.

    i just found a lot of linux nerds or FOSS nerds who seem to have varying opinions on whether they like it or the company or not.

    in a world so absolutely brimming with click bait headlines and buzzwords being used to incite conflict, let's not rally behind every cry of vilification without first checking that it's actually villainous. you know?

    we need to make sure we don't fall into the same habits those headlines aim to force us into.

    or well, thats just my feelings on it.
