@danlyke@jaredwhite I buy nearly all my electronics refurbished on Backmarket.com and you can select the status of a battery, opting for premium / like new… even for old computers (when they have it in stock).
I got an iPhone 13 Pro last year (it would have been 4-5 years old by then) and selected a premium battery… it looked new and it’s still at 100% battery health a year later!
Everything we've made will break, buildings and streets will crumble, and cities will be abandoned. But the CO₂ we emit into the atmosphere will persist for millennia, and its climatic impacts will last longer than human civilization has existed. This is our legacy for the future.
@evan No, but harm reduction suggests it might be better than e.g. using Meta products, so slop that isn't owned by a company complicit in multiple genocides is an improvement, even if still an ethical and practical (security, for example) problem.
I hate giving in to lesser evilism, though. Can we just do good things instead of always bargaining for a decrease in evil?
@evan@cosocial.ca for me personally, who am not a software engineer and have been trying to find a dev to work with for almost three years now (since Firefish started steering towards a dead-end), it's been an invaluable tool. And I'm very happy with the results I've achieved - I've literally made more progress on my own in one month than we did in several months in Firefish, with several devs helping. Changed and fixed things that have annoyed me for years. It has been super creative for me, and has also helped me a lot to deal with depression.
