Same here! Before that, I used initially Netscape, then Konqueror on KDE, whose engine KHTML became the foundation of Safari/Webkit and thereby 90% of all browsers nowadays and only started in 2006 or so to exclusively use Firefox.

If you calculate what you’d spend on regular phones with a 2-3 year lifetime instead of a single one for 8 years (even including a few repairs), it might be actually cheap.

Especially the one called “Capitalism”, which has now more followers than any other religion in the world!

What can be done is to stop electing neo-liberal/right-wing/conservative politicians in the EU, so Frontex can be turned upside-down to do the job it’s needed for - helping people at our borders, instead of actively or passively killing them!

…but Merkel opening the floodgates to mass migration

Please don’t replicate right-wing talking points. She didn’t open any gates - she just decided (contrary to all countries around us) to not suddenly shut our open borders when millions fled war and were seeking for refuge.

She basically did, what she always excelled at: sitting it out and doing nothing, then selling it as her political success. Active change was her constant enemy.
