The Finnish company Jolla is back with the Linux-powered Jolla Phone. It’s being positioned as an antidote to the US-dominated smartphone status quo of Android and iOS.

Most here would love to have a fully FOSS phone. However, Jolla is still an excellent and simple proposition for the vast majority. We need to wholeheartedly support this and other significant movement away from US spyware/ ransomware/adware.

My problem with it, is thats its even less open source than android is, even after all the enshittification. If they were serious with their anti big tech approach, they would open source it, then Sailfish OS would be a real alternative.
