  1. @GrapheneOS I would switch to grapheneOS if I could use it on fairphone because I believe in an absolute right to privacy its not just for abusers. I'm not going to get a phone other than the fairphone because it's more important to me that there is no slavery and conflict minerals used in the phone and the modularity is a nice plus too. So unless grapheneOS supports a phone that has these features I can't ethically justify buying a phone without them just to use it.

  6. I started watching the new Technology Connections video for the learning about new battery technologies and moving away from #ConflictMinerals... and did not expect the whole bonus chapter on fascism in the USA today but it needed to be said and I'm glad it was. Kudos to the guy who convinced me to use powdered detergent in my dishwasher, and a pity that this is where we are now. 🫑

  8. @immibis If you need a smartphone Fairphone is not perfect but better because they put great effort into avoiding most conflict minerals but due to supply chain imperfections there is no such thing as perfect here. If you dont need a smartphone then dumb phones that will last much longer are better for environment and workers rights. I'm against overcomsumption more broadly yes

    I think that the climate crisis will lead to a devastating shock to modern conveniences and comforts and we should prepare now to limit the height of the fall and as a stretch goal to mitigate the damages of the collapse

  18. Buying a new phone can use as much energy as keeping an old one for 10 years. Many phone metals come from exploitative or conflict-driven supply chains; Fairphone is working to improve materials and supply chains.

  34. In a bold move, the Democratic Republic of #Congo #DRC has filed criminal complaints against #Apple in #Belgium and #France, accusing the tech firm of using #conflictminerals in its supply chain.

    Congo is a major source of #tin, #tantalum and #tungsten and some artisanal mines are run by armed groups involved in massacres of civilians, mass rapes, looting and other crimes, according to U.N. experts and #humanrights groups.

  39. "Though this long regional conflict is often portrayed as Rwandans vs Congolese, Hutu vs Tutsi, or even Muslim vs Christian, the primary generator of endless suffering is a more universal clash – power and profit vs people and planet. Colonialism never really ended, it simply now works remotely via economic imperialism..."

    I had no idea what even conflict minerals were. Wow.
