Over 60 years of life, if you keep your smartphone for an average of two years, then you'll need 30 devices. If you keep your phone for five years, then you'll need 12 devices. The European Environmental Bureau has stated that extending the lifespan of smartphones and other electronics by just one year would save the EU as much carbon emissions as taking two million cars off the roads annually. https://gerrymcgovern.com/tips-for-more-sustainable-smartphone-use/
@skykiss Yeah telling people what they can and cannot post (as long as it isn't hate speech) is unacceptable behaviour. If you don't like what someone posts- the solution is simple- don't follow them. Or block them- or filter them. End of story. #Think#Unfollow#Filter or #block ✌️
And does its appearance online a few days ago (and are you SURE that that was the very first time) by someone who isn't me guarantee to you that it wasn't me who took the photo??
After only 13 years, I am retiring my #Thinkpad#T420s. It did a great job over all these years and I upgraded it to the max, completely disassembled several times. But it was showing its age. I just set up my new personal device, a #FrameworkLaptop 13 DIY Edition (AMD) by @frameworkcomputer - that's a new kind of maintenance-friendly, repairable notebook. Order, delivery, assembly, setup, migration were a blast. No issues, and the installation of @manjarolinux worked out of the box. :awesome:
Apart from common reviews, the two pieces from @pluralistic were interesting reads where he wrote about his experience with Framework, incl. when his device got broken:
@christina Thank you for sharing this flowchart! Not only did it help me #think about my current thinking re the #climatepredicament but it helped me confront my sense of denial and showed the #complexity of different paths and clarified possible empowering choices I have not thought about moving forward. https://flowchart.bettercatastrophe.com/

Y’all consider #people to be too #sensitive nowadays but have you ever considered that maybe the things #you#say aren’t as light hearted as you #think and that you #sound like a fucking #dickhead?
Anyone want to guess, the costs to host a meeting, for a group of 16, that collectively earn $25,600,000 a year? (Plus unk staffers salaries)
Weekends = 104 days + 14 public holidays
They have been working on the same problem for approximately 1000 hours to resolve just one problem? And they cannot find a solution. #HOMELESSNESS
3 Years- NADA #FastTrack - HOLD MEETINGS OUTSIDE?
I have no problem with people posting about #activist causes, #petitions, writing letters to #politicians, or anything like that. It's a healthy part of a #democracy, and encouraging others to take part is a noble thing to do.
Well-meaning white people who truly want to understand and be allies need to internalize this message, shared by #LilyGladstone, on the idea of #assimilation and what that word always means to those of us who aren't white in white-majority situations of every kind.
