Plenty of clean food in dumpsters for you to eat too.

Yeah, I know. The people who stock the vending machine at work throw out 'expired' stuff all the time that I swipe. Your point? We absolutely should not be wasting this stuff, it's bad for the environment, and it's bad for our wallets.

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.

You're right, it is much more important that people feel good about themselves than that the planet continue to be hospitable to life.

The 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.

No 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.
