- throwaway27448 7mo agoNormally I'd agree purity tests are largely counterproductive. But large tech companies are major players and deserve extraordinary scrutiny for their actions. Anyway, simply noting the impacts of their decisions doesn't seem deserving of an "ism"—surely there should be a normative component to make this a proper ideology—I haven't told you what to do.

- throwaway27448 7mo agoThis is a great answer. I lost the bet. I suspect even this falls apart if you consider the bill of materials, though. Look my point is that commodity fetishization is real, it protects our entire economy, and once you look deeper/underneath the hood/covers, many reasonable prices become violations of our personal values. With such insanely complex and largely offshore supply chains, laptops and phones (and servers etc) become very problematic devices that we nonetheless rely on.
- chad_strategic 7mo agoYour argument is valid. However; this particular laptop I am using right now is a used Dell and runs on linux. My main computer, I built by myself. But yes I use AWS, google etc. I just try to use less :)
