The end of Windows 10 support is going to be an environmental and security disaster, an egregious example of planned obsolescence that doesn&#39;t have to be this way: https://www.404media.co/the-end-of-windows-10-support-is-an-e-waste-disaster-in-the-making/

@jasonkoebler@mastodon.social We are encouraged to dump our phone every time Apple or Samsung comes out with a newer model with some feature which is also but an enviornmental disaster, but I haven't seen the same amount of words typed about that as I have this whole Windows 10 thing, and it's been 10 years since that OS came out. Do you write the same type of story each time a new iPhone comes out? Trying not to sound like a Microsoft apologist

@jasonkoebler@mastodon.social Are you aware of the @Endof10@floss.social campaign? It's like the PIRG "Fix-A-Thons", but we have slightly bigger scale.
