Peter Gamma’s view on Linux phones: not very suitable as Linux mobile computers, but as privacy phones & as a phones which go back to the basics

We can now find comments like «I Need to Apologize… This Device is Bad» about the Pinephone:

Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org’s view:

  • I lost a lot of time with installing LibreOffice onto the Pinephone:

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=16614

  • It took me almost a month to find out that LibreOffice can be installed on the Pinephone, but no one uses it.
  • I found often information in the web and on YouTube which seem somehow paid promotional.
  • I gave up LibreOffice on the Pinehone.
  • But since i more and more observed that there seem to be products especially developed for me personally.
  • For me personally and no one else uses those?
  • I am not looking for someone who develops products for me personally in the web who increases prices if I give good ratings.
  • And is not many information and products sold on YouTube and in the web manipulated information and products of low quality?
  • And since I noticed that YouTube videos appear which seem as if they where created especially for me, this scares me.
  • How much data about me is there collected out there?
  • And this is a reason to turn away from Windows 10 wich means turn away from Microsoft Inc.
  • This is a reason also to turn away from Android which means turn away from Google. Inc.
  • Not only for privacy reasons but but for the reason that I do not share the same values as these companies.
  • And turning toward thin clients with Ubuntu.
  • 40 percent of the Linux users use Ubuntu.
  • This is the reason for me personally to choose Ubuntu but not Fedora.
  • And Linux is much better than Windows for privacy reasons.
  • Linux runs also fast on older thin clients.
  • And I don t need a lot of the Windows 10 or 11 stuff.
  • And a Linux phone feels better for someone who is a little bit worried about his privacy and that big brothers are watching me.
  • So I decide for a low-cost Linux privacy phone:
  • But has it really to be a Linux Phone from “Big Brother Google” as a Linux privacy phone?
  • The Google Pixel 3a has good ratings as a Linux phone in general.
  • And privacy with the Google Pixel 3 a and Ubports seems not be a big ussue up to this date:

  • And many of the Android phones have tons of apps which I never use.
  • Aren these Android phones often annoying?
  • A Uborts phone has only the basic stuff, and I am a simple person who only needs the basic stuff.

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 sculping 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 sculping 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 sculping 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 sculping 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.
