No clort, it is better as Graham said "losing battles". There have been battles people have lost but it doesn't mean the end of war. As long as people stand up even after they have got beaten up battle continues, and the war goes on untill everyone surrenders. That will not happen. Too many have this idea of freedom in their heads.

This community is one group keeping that fire alive. Sometimes just covering the warm coils but then something comes up and people start to blow to the coil and we are in flames. F(x)tec is one, Leste is another, Sailfish is alive, LineageOs, Cosmo communicator, Pinephone, Purism. We are not alone and we are not defeated. Individuals can be defeated though - untill they rise up again and join the battle.

Privacy, freedom, and in my case the concern is of being profiled to make profit with my virtual personality. I don't like that. I want to help people to have a choice. There will be a day when opensource platforms will be acknowledged and put above everything. For sure. When? Who knows. But the constructions which are reaching the sky based on big companies with monopoly status - it is a pyramid scam in the end.
