Why to use Ubuntu Touch if there is postmarketOS which allows to write to the external SD card? – to use it for privacy phones?

Peter Gamma from www.peteramma.org:

  • is asking this question
  • PostmarketOS allows to write to the external SD card.
  • Only view Ubuntu Touch phones can do this.

To write to the external SD card is a feature which I miss since years.

  • The Google Pixel 3a is recommended for Ubuntu Touch.
  • The Google Pixel 3a allows also the installation of postmarketOS, there is an image available.
  • But the Google Pixel 3a has no wired keyboard as the Pinephone.

I had issues with both Bluetooth mice and keyboards with the Pinephone, so I will choose a wired connection for mouse and keyboard which as shown to work with the Pinephone in the following example:

  • A Google Pixel 3 a makes sense for me personally as a privacy phone but not much more.
  • If you need a keyboard and mouse, a Pinephone is better.
  • I never have seen such videos with a keyboard and mouse with a Ubuntu Touch phone.
  • A separate privacy phone makes since since it saves money.
  • The Pinephone is more expensive than a Google Pixel 3a with Ubuntu Touch
  • I currently see not much more reason to buy a Ubuntu Touch phone.
  • Eventually for coders it could make sense, but I usually don’t code.
  • A Ubuntu Touch phone makes also sense for someone who is looking for a phone which goes back to the basics.
  • There is so much stuff on Android phones I don’t need.
  • A Google Pixel 3a with Ubuntu Touch is much more basic than the latest Android phones

Information for product sellers who do stock market speculation and scalping with products mentioned by Peter Gamma on www.petergamma.org

According to the little experience of Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org, many of the products listed here are still full of issues which need to be resolved. If you do stock market speculation and scalping with those, you will loose Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org as a buyer of these products and as a reviewer. Is this not risky? Will you not loose a majority of your costumers as well?

And is it not so, that society in general does not accept stock market speculation and scalping with products as those which are listed here? And will you not be politically incapable of finding a majority of the voters if you do stock market speculation and scalping with these products?

And as a consequence will you not be condemned and punished by a political referendum soon? Especially if you do this to a Swiss, since are not majority of Swiss against stock market speculations and scalping with people on a budget? And people in Switzerland are known for a lot of political referendums, since we have direct democracy in this country.

And Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org will fight up to the European Court of Human Rights against people who do stock market speculation and scalping with the products which are mentioned on www.petergamma.org. And if they do not have yet the legal basis there to do so, he will fight for it.

What is a scalper?

A scalper is someone who buys something and resells it at a price far above the initial cost. For instance some says: “He got theater tickets through a scalper”: Someone who buys tickets to an event in order to resell them at a profit. And is it not also scalping if you take reviews from this site to make out of it a new product offer, and sell it for a higher price? We doubt that you will be successful with it. Since Peter Gamma will review your product and will user not come back to www.petergamma.org after that?
