      There need to be strong regulations to prevent this sort of Ewaste. As long as companies can get away with this they will.

      And no, voting with your pocket book isn’t going to change their behavior.

          No, this requires regulations to prevent massive amounts of Ewaste. Consumers can’t change this behavior.

          Like right to repair or privacy. We need real regulations. Corporations are too big and powerful and even something like choice has been turned into choosing which shitty corp you want to buy from.

          Blaming consumers for the behavior of corporations is a fallacy of capitalism… consumers act in their best interests, not necessary in everyone’s best interests, so we all suffer if everyone does that.

      You don’t even have to, squeezebox owners never got a choice. It was cool that a hacker community built it even better after logi abandoned it 😁
