> more importantly, postmarketOS is a way of reducing eWaste
I firmly disagree about the relative importance of things here.
In my opinion, the more important issue is reducing our dependence on Google.
The most important thing that makes postmarketOS great is that it allows people to be more independent from Google. Google's dominance in the world (in which Android plays a big part) is a bigger threat to humanity than eWaste.
@cas For me the best way to define postmarketOS is that it tries to be *ethic*, that includes reducing e-waste, respecting users and its privacy, reducing dependence on big corporations, etc etc

potato potahto? these things go hand in hand and through an anti-capitalist lens they are really one and the same
it's no use having an alternative os if it doesn't provide good alternatives to google services imo, but we can't build those alternatives without having said os and devices to run it on (that people can get their hands on).
assigning relative value to one or the other while the world burns feels like a waste of energy to me
