yes, 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?

Defeatism is gross.

We can all of us individually, and all of us collectively, do better.

You are quite literally the problem.

We are all quite literally the problem.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Lol 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.

E-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.
