semi-related: would it count as piracy, if you reconstruct the 3d model from the 2d promo-images?

thanks. I forgot about that. But I'd like to add, that this models kind of feels like "donations with extra steps" to me. i.e. you can get it for free, but you choose to pay the developer even though you have to.

because of all the socialist propaganda in it?

there is plenty open source software, that you can buy. There are many modes:

  • you buy the support (redhead)
  • you buy the long-term-support (ubuntu)
  • you pay for backports to old releases (keycloak iirc)
  • there is a open source version, and you can pay for enterprise features and hosting (gitlab)
  • there is an open source version, and you pay for customization (star office, iirc)

and my personal favorit:

  • you pay a random developer to submit pullrequests for bugs that are relevant to you

full-spectrum lighting

this doesn't sound true.

iirc full spectrum means "every wavelength" (like sunlight) and not just "3 wavelengths that add up to white".

You vote with your wallets. Each time you buy a phone without SD cart, you are submitting a ballot.

Seriously. phones are 99% identical anyways. It's not so hard to filter for the 2-3 criteria you actually care about.
