@ingrid "device hoarding?"Is this a suggestion I give away my older devices more effectively so even fewer people need to buy new ones? Because that's the only correct way this could be called "hoarding"I can think of a hoarding that's hurting a lot of people too.

@ingrid I've been on the brink of buying a new phone and this has inspired me to keep holing out longer. Thank you CNBC.

@futurebird @ingrid The only thing that makes me want a new phone is that I can't get any degoogled build on my current one.(And is everyone involved in GrapheneOS somehow blind to the fact that I don't want to buy a Pixel to install it because 👏 that 👏 means 👏 giving 👏 hundreds 👏 of 👏 dollars 👏 to 👏 Google?)

@futurebird @brodnig I'm dead set on spending not a dime I don't have to from now until 2029.First, I won't contribute to an economy under an administration that denies climate change and wants to promote coal and oil.Second, I'll have funds to invest/contribute/use when we're ready to start planning for and building the future again.Save Every Dime Until Twenty-Twenty-Nine.

@ingrid “While keeping devices longer may seem financially or environmentally responsible, the hidden cost is a quieter erosion of economic dynamism and competitiveness,” she added.brb smashing my desk
