From the pinephone wikipedia page

> Because no software development costs are incurred by Pine64, the PinePhone's selling price (US$149.99 for the basic model[26]) is lower compared to other Linux phones, notably the Librem 5 (US$749.99[27]),

I wish @purism had spent more effort in getting community members to share the SW development burden.

@yaaps@banana.dog
It's hard to find transparent pricing. The first place I contacted quoted only about 4x what I'm currently paying. Maybe the fact that I'm already on the lowest tier plan would suggest self-hosting.
@alcinnz @neauoire

Nothing says "We love open source" quite like "join our Discord channel".

Also... (open source self-hosted Discord alternative) is sponsoring ...? That makes no sense.

@neauoire
Wow... I didn't know about this before. Time to ?
Anybody got recommendations? I might just switch to self-hosting, but the power/internet isn't always reliable at my house.

How about instead of corporations clothing random idiots in their advertising in exchange for flooding FOSS maintainers with garbage, we provided strong mentorship to a new generation of engineers under the tutelage of maintainers whose sustainable careers are guaranteed by the direct financial support of those same corporations?

@q
Exactly. I was (and still am) really hoping to transfer my Google voice number to some Librem One voice service, but seeing this makes me worry about the solvency of @purism .
Paying $35/month for unlimited with T-mobile, but maybe I'd consider this **if** my carrier starting sending me targetted ads. (Number porting is a must though, maintaining 2 phone numbers is hard enough)

@jameschip
It's marginally related to your toot I replied to.
The question was posed mostly for effect, and does not necessarily need an answer. If you were also curious, you could boost it.

@jameschip
Many use a google email address to create an account anywhere. Though I guess @sir would say you don't need an email address to form online friendships if you just use IRC.

@jameschip
Are there any mastodon/fediverse servers which don't require an email address to sign up?

@kline
You use google as your search engine. What did you expect?

@jameschip
Also, is there a reason that you've done `git config user.email "na"`

The world would be a better place where, when someone encounters something confusing or which doesn't meet their preconceptions, they first tried to learn and understand it before rewriting a bunch of software and shoving all of their notions of correct into the domain

This one is kind of subtle so to be clear I'm talking about the influence of windows and mac on linux
