There is merit to ecological reasoning, but sometimes people like nice things; and concern over the use of pi’s over existing arbitrary computers is so low on the list of ecological priorities that perhaps it’s better to simply recognize the value it provides to people who want to buy one.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoYou're right, it is much more important that people feel good about themselves than that the planet continue to be hospitable to life.
- b_tterc_p 7y agoThe planet is perfectly capable of co-existing with raspberry pi’s. For something as grand as climate change, you won’t make a dent here.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoNo droplet feels it is responsible for the flood. These things add up. I'm not saying Raspberry Pis don't have a place, I just think a lot of things people seem to want them for would be better suited by just reusing old hardware, which has the nice side effects of meaning that hardware isn't wasted.
