Uhm all the non right wing parties? There‘s money there too. And it’s not necessarily so expensive.

Ah yes, the „likely Greta Thunberg“ or other people I don’t like antichrist.

Just create a fact-checking / pro-democracy „AI swarm“. Tired of this fear mongering where apparently only the right wing knows how to write prompts, along with foreign troll farms.

It might sound kinda radical, but I feel that we need a culture shift to people paying for things, even if it’s small amounts, if we want to be truly competitive to „big tech“. Big tech uses venture capital to offer free stuff and thereby establish monopolies. We expect developers to work for free. It does work to an extent, but obviously it’s limited. And also people deserve being paid for their work.

Some work could be done in the area of how the funds are managed and presented, so it’s transparent and fair.

I’d be happy to pay for things like Ubuntu Touch to have quickly a viable alternative to Android and iOS. It’s possible to donate, but donations tend to not be reliable or make development viable at all. Paying for Open Source seems fine, as long as fund allocation is fully transparent.

There’s also Volla Phone (with Ubuntu Touch or dual boot Android/Ubuntu Touch).

We need to support Ubuntu Touch. It’s such a promising alternative and it would be a dream to have it at same level and app support as current major platforms.

There are a few competitive devices that even come with Ubuntu Touch preinstalled.

It doesn’t have 2 of the biggest corporations in the world funding it. Maybe something can be done at policy level to get it up to speed. With Linux at foundation we already have like 70%.
