And then you indirectly pay google as you fund the people who buy google phones every time a new one comes out.
Yes it is the best way to buy a google phone, but you are still supporting google in most cases.
Arguably, 2nd hand private sellers would have bought it anyway and you are just saving e-waste at that point

Ok this is gonna blow your mind, you can buy used or refurbished Pixels
I know, but I'd rather leave them to people who really want them, and support the people working hard to make open source products.

You can also buy used or refurbished Fairphones too

Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC / X3 • Ubuntu Touch • Linux Phone
Flash your Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC / X3 with the latest version of the Ubuntu Touch operating system, a privacy focused OS developed by hundreds of people.
(devices.ubuntu-touch.io)
I never thought to flash a Fairphone with GNU-Linux. Glad to know Ubuntu has a working smartphone OS

Eh, the 2nd hand sellers also wouldn't be buying if they couldn't sell them.

I suppose, but Fairphones are a security and thus a privacy nightmare. As soon as you cross a border or police get your phone, e/OS and CalyxOS are virtually useless

I would think that private buyers buy a phone they are gonna use and then sell it once they don't use it anymore 🧠

You can donate to GrapheneOS and I highly doubt that the hardware of the Fairphone is open
e/OS is a joke btw

I was thinking of the shops that buy used and resell them.

I'd interested in learning about this, if you have any links at hand

Yo, from one type 1 to another, get yourself some xdrip to replace the dexcom app, its miles ahead and more configurable.

And depending on which omnipod you got, and how technical you are, check out AndroidAPS if you want an open source closed-loop solution.
Welcome to the AAPS Documentation — AndroidAPS Documentation
Android APS (AAPS) is an open source app for people living with insulin-dependent diabetes. It is an artificial pancreas system (APS) which runs on Android smartphones.
(androidaps.readthedocs.io)
If you got the omnipod dash you can use it directly with AndroidAPS via Bluetooth.
I use both of these with dexcom G6 and an accu-chek Bluetooth insulin pump, and its amazing vs the commercial solutions.
Sometimes in the darkness of the internet where all our worst sides come out and I get trampled by the evil of governments, corporations, and people in general...a small beam of light shines through illuminating the beauty of this world.
Today, your comment is that beam of light. You didn't mean it to be, but sometimes little things have bigger impacts. Thank you. Have a great day.

Yes i misread your first comment, I am aware of that without you repeating it.
