you can absolutely build a device out of parts of your choosing or have a vendor do it, you just don’t find it convenient.

@StaticR@guild.pmdcollab.org you could then install any OS made by someone or some organization that’s okay with their intellectual property being applied to any device, or just write your own.

@jazaval@mastodon.social how deep does your vision of being able to build a device out of parts, in this case a phone, actually go? Are there commercially available parts like mainboards, processers, cameras, screens, shells and so on that I can assemble into a phone, sort of like how I can assemble a desktop PC? Where would I get these parts from? Are there parts that I'll have to manufacture myself somehow? I'd low key be actually interested in that.
