The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today announced its project to bring mobile phone freedom to users. “Librephone” is an initiative to reverse-engineer obstacles preventing mobile phone freedom until its goal is achieved.

Librephone is a new initiative by the FSF with the goal of bringing full freedom to the mobile computing environment. The vast majority of software users around the world use a mobile phone as their primary computing device. After forty years of advocacy for computing freedom, the FSF will now work to bring the right to study, change, share, and modify the programs users depend on in their daily lives to mobile phones.

      <gestures at all the enshittified software products from the last 30 years>

      In our current economic philosophy, yes.

        I think you mentioned a keyword you’re ignoring here: product. This enshittification happens in a commercial environment. Good marketing does not require a commercial product.

          Whatever it is you’re referring to here certainly doesn’t change the fact that the FSF sucks at marketing.

            Which makes sense, since that is not what I was saying. I’m saying that a FOSS project with good marketing doesn’t necessarily become like google.
