A preview of what might be possible if we only had an economy that motivates and rewards sustainability and efficiency. It will take time and effort before devices like the Librem 5 will be a mainstream option. The hard and software needs to mature more and also the app ecosystem needs to grow, with e.g. an app like Signal and a reliable navigation app. But this transition will only be possible in the long run if we decide to switch to [open-source software](https://switching.software/) today. Without that support, that future will have less chance to succeed.

Some core advantages that flirt with the resource based economy train of thought:

- Open-source software and mostly open-source hardware as well
- Software support “for life”
- Modularity allows hardware upgrades and replacements, increasing the lifespan of the device

A side note, you can [install this forum as an app](https://tzm.one/docs?search=app&topic=348) in any browser, including the browser on the Librem 5. Meaning that this forum leads the way in breaking out of the privacy/closed-source hell of Android/iOS/Windows.
