Purism "publishing a [librem5] shipping schedule in a few days"

Fine. I am not sure you can get a refund, but you can try with Librem. Still, there is nothing much coming out that represents a clear alternative view in the way of kill switches and only relatively tame Android alternatives such as /e/ foundation’s efforts to protest the Alphabet -Google and Apple Oligopoly. Nobody would call you a traitor for seeking a disconnect from Librem 5. At least I cannot think that anybody is so much the zealot here. My frustration, after all these months, and the years before, is that so many smartphone users are so mute and sheepish in their acceptance of Locked Phones, limited platform choices and sacrificed privacy for a device which has become ubiquitous and seemingly semi-essential to daily life. People act like lemmings following the herd, not over the cliff, but certainly blind to the rip off and the advantage taken of them and do absolutely nothing in protest against this!
