I don't want to sound harsh to any of you, but all I can say is this: without certain amount of risk, we might not be able to go anywhere. There is no perfect solution, there is only the ones which are known to be the most free/libre software (in case of software), free/libre distros (in case of distros) or free/libre software friendly (which is the case for the RYFed products, not the rest which is h-node). I'm not demanding that everyone here must immediately seek those, I cannot do such affirmation, because each person reading this knows their finantial limitations, all I ask is for people to check these carefully crafted list of stuff before racing to the next electronics store, and keep a pessimist view of current world's devices. I once had a related discussion in the "android" mailing list of FSFE. I told that people should recommend Replicant to *the general public* ([1][2][3]), but people replid telling me otherwise because "its status is not good", "it's not usable by non-developers", among other excuses. In the end, even a FSF (no "E") staff member had to get there ([4]) noting that Replicant already has non-developers using it, that it must be a joint effort between free/libre software activists and society's adoption of Replicant, and also left the subscribers with a question similar to this: Considering that some free/libre software developers like to work on projects which are used by most people, how would Replicant become more "usable" if not by fostering its usage in the general public?
