Ethical Tech Giving Guide
- maxharris 7y agoI don't have a problem with offering a giving guide, but this headline really should be changed. I don't accept the ethical ideas behind Free Software Foundation, but the title implies that I am not an ethical person for disagreeing with them. The FSF does not have a monopoly on ethics - in fact, they have some pretty serious ethical issues of their own which have come to light in the past few months.
- doomrobo 7y agoI like the idea behind this list. But is it seriously suggesting that I buy a Galaxy S3 in 2019? Does it even get OS updates anymore?
- geofft 7y agoThe FSF has long held the position that an OS that you and any hacker can modify is better than one that neither you nor any hacker can modify. (This position seems seriously flawed, if not actively reckless, to me.)
- geofft 7y agoGiving someone else a poorly-supported device running a weirdo operating system as a "gift" seems pretty unethical to me.
