> So let's talk alternatives!
Okay! I’m happy for my hardware vendor to assure me that my cable isn’t going to set my phone on fire or do any other harmful or nefarious things. If someone else is happy to take that gamble, I sure hope it’s regulated when I’m in transit or my own home but otherwise the world is their proverbial oyster. I wish their hardware vendor cared more about their wellbeing but given existing regulatory standards I just hope more vendors are as adept and scrupulous.
- rektide 4y agoWhat would stop you from buying your vendors products? Choice & freedom seems to present no negative, doesnt impede your scaremongering safety-clutching Stockholm Syndrome desires.
- eyelidlessness 4y agoMy vendor’s products haven’t harmed me in any way I can identify but if they did that would be good cause for me to reconsider them. That would also be good cause for your analysis of “Stockholm Syndrome”.
- rektide 4y agoIm seeing freedom vs being trapped with criminal behaviors. Having freedom wouldnt stop you from relating to these dirtbags, freely if you want. But you shouldnt be forced to keep staying with them. So, still feeling pretty good about my analysis so far.
- eyelidlessness 4y agoSo I’m free to prefer my vendor’s behavior and you’re free to not prefer it? Sounds like we totally agree 100%!
- rektide 4y agoYou're not free to prefer your vendor taking hostages though. (Or at least there should strong extenuating circumstances, for why you think there's some imperative strong enough to justifying extreme/active harm.) Thanks. Your vendor needs some social conscience & to sometimes not always use force to get their way.
