So in your opinion, a trillion dollar company that made billions and billions in pure profit after all their salaries and costs, over the course of decades, can decide that they have no responsibility to reduce e-waste and everyone else in society should throw their stuff out and pay them more money?

And that's ok to you? On a moral and ethical level?

How the honest fuck are you defending an excessively profitable company not supporting (and in several cases, explicitly going out of their way to break) third party accessories and forcing consumers to pay more money and generate more e-waste?

Or is your opinion is that you bought into the Apple ecosystem, so they can do no wrong?

WTF are you smoking? I just pointed out my last laptop from them is 13 years old and still going strong. Show me another brand that lasts like that.

Let me be clear: FUCK OFF

@credo@lemmy.world please keep it civil. If you feel someone's comment is pointless, just block them and move on.

Plug in a random USB C hub off Amazon that works with windows, Linux, android, raspberry pis, and windows laptops from 13 years ago and watch it not work on any Apple device because they do not and have never put any effort into compatibility.

Go outside, give your head a shake, and stop simping for trillion dollar corporations.
