   @aral What's your stance on reused hardware etc? I.e. when and where - if ever - do the benefits outweight the costs on Android vs. Apple?
   
   I.e. repurposing Android phones by installing Google-free FLOSS vs. being unable to reuse Apple stuff at all, causing environmental hazards?
   
   Do we support surveillance capitalism with environmentalism, or should we support Apple-like capitalism by wasting resources?
   
   I'm asking in a constructive manner so please interpret it like that .)

     @aral Aye, but the risks of being 100% unable to run !FS on the platform (i.e. Apple) must surely be a worse strategic approach?
     
     Of course I mean repurposing used hardware and not purchasing new Google-financing dung.
