"Those who would give up Freedom, to purchase a little temporary Convenience, deserve neither Freedom nor Convenience."

I know that, but Librem it's still too rough for me. I hope it will get better in the next iterations and I applaud those who buy it now, knowing they are also funding R&D for better future phones.

This quote is one of the most taken out of context. It does not mean what people think it means. It is also naive.

But I agree, Librem does look a bit raw to me. I'm ok with 'apt get'ting stuff on my PC. Not on a phone

It doesn't matter what was the intention of this quote. Its new meaning is pretty much right.

Here's another relevant saying: "those with glass ceilings shouldn't throw stones"

We do exchange "freedom" (whatever vague definition of it) for security and convenience a lot. Even without realizing it.
