I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

  • The first step toward meaningful change begins with us. We must abandon our craving for glossy (and therefore glassy) devices, and instead embrace hardware that may not be as immediately pleasing to the eye (as it is the case with e.g. Fairphones or the PinePhone), but is built to be slightly more durable, somewhat repairable, and capable of outlasting even today’s limited commitments to software updates.

    Fairphone and PinePhone being only mentioned anecdotally for being too pretty, and I guess not as sturdy as the author wants, is quite weird for an article about reducing fragility and improving repairability.



  • I don’t think you can rely on volunteer labor and donations to keep things running indefinitely.

    Doesn’t that imply that it will not work on the long term?
    Or you think groups of volunteer will form up and maintain an instance for a while and then go down, and another group will pick up?
    I’m afraid we may run out of people able to do that after they all get burned out like ee’s.
