Imagine you could install any software on any device. The devices you own that don't receive updates anymore, or where you found out that the software is full of ads/tracking. You could replace it, maybe with a Linux distro like postmarketOS running mainline. These devices wouldn't need to be electronic waste. We signed @fsfe's #openletter to the EU to make this happen.
Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to control technology. We enable people to use, understand, adapt, and share software.

Every year, 1.5 billion smartphones are manufactured worldwide - and probably just as many are thrown away. Most of them after way too short usage times. E-waste increases every year.
@fsfe My own example of #UpcyclingAndroid. #Samsung Galaxy S5, bought in 2014 still working perfectly fine with Android 9. I will upgrade to Android 10 soon.
