Just glossed right over that e-waste part, eh?
- paulcole 2y agoyes, just like everyone does lol. people only bring up e-waste when they’ve run out of real points to make. The save-the-environment ship has sailed. It’s not even a point worth engaging with. You really think that if every kindle ever made would magically last forever that the environment still wouldn’t be fucked beyond belief?
- Carrok 2y agoDefeatism is gross. We can all of us individually, and all of us collectively, do better. You are quite literally the problem.
- paulcole 2y agoWe are all quite literally the problem.
- Carrok 2y agoWhatever helps you sleep at night.
- paulcole 2y agoLol I sleep fine at night. I don’t eat meat, I live in a small apartment, I don’t drive, I don’t fly, I don’t have kids. I buy crap I don’t need though. I’ll put myself up against nearly anyone else in the developed world as far as carbon footprint goes.
- Rhea_Karty 2y agoE-waste, monetary waste (all this work in a good product-- only to be actively destroyed so that you have to buy a new one!), customer rights (it wouldn't be legal for someone to break your item with a hammer, so why with code?), and also just generally monopolistic anti-competitive market manipulation (this wouldn't fly in any competitive sector!) We, as consumers, have a right to be mad about this stuff... this is why we have the Consumer Protection Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission.
