Some reasons why non-technical folks might be interested in the Pinephone:
1) avoid the privacy issues of Android & iOS
2) have the confidence that as long as their hardware work, they will have updates
3) buy from a brand that will allow you (or a third party) to fix your hardware (Pine64 sells you spare parts, and at reasonable prices!)
4) have an user-replaceable battery
5) have an affordable smartphone (I know, there are 30$ android phones but they tick none of the above points)
The points 2 to 4 will interest an increasing number of people this century, imo
Alma (co-op) | Software Engineers | Grenoble, French Alps, France | Onsite | Full-time | language: French
Alma was founded 41 years ago as an operation research company working on sheet nesting for CAM (have a look at the demo of our saas offer: https://demo.powernestlib.com/ ). Over the years Alma has been diversifying into other areas such as sheet cutting, 3D robots programming (e.g. for welding), IT services and health-care: https://www.alma.fr/en/
Alma is a cooperative: a new employee becomes an associate one year after joining. All shareholders are employees and at the shareholder meeting each associate has 1 vote (regardless of their seniority/capital).
You must speak French or be willing to learn it: English would be ok for technical discussions but less practical for coffe-break discussions, shareholders meetings, etc.
We may be able to help for visas.
