If you want to be moral you should stop using tech all together. From the materials used to make it to the labor practices used to fabricate and assemble it to the corporate decisions on where to manufacture it to the quantity of diesel consumed to ship it and how that fuel is processed and by whom all the way to what happens to the product when it becomes obsolete. Hard to think of a single piece of that that isn't exploitative of people or the environment. The rot goes all the way down.
This is really a great laugh! It’s like watching a germaphobe come to the realization that germs are everywhere. It reminds me a little bit of how the new left approaches consumption as an identity forming action. It’s really beautiful to behold.
Edit: we need a food-coop take on every digital product. The same shit in an unbleached-brown, compostable container with social justice catchphrases splashed on the label. Produced at the same publicly-traded factory as the old, unethical stuff.
