Yes, add e-waste because of corporate brand loyalty.
No one cares what you use. If it fucking works for you, keep using it.
It's exhausting keeping up with all the internet outrage over tedious shit that truly does not matter with the short amount of time we all have on this water covered rock spinning in space.
Where are you getting the corpo loyalty impression from my post? If I stop using the iPad, it’ll go to someone who will use it. And I wouldn’t be dropping it due to internet outrage, I just don’t like iOS at all, from its gesture controls to its locked App Store.
I have bad news for you if you are planning to switch to what I think you are...
Edit: ironically posted this from my Android phone.
Apple is already at the bad news stage and has been for years. Android is headed towards it, but people can make decisions to get hardware that is unlocked and has community support to install another OS on it. Devices that can already be unlocked and has custom roms will keep working with the ability to install apks without restriction.
My netizen on the internet, GrapheneOS (what I am currently using), PostmarketOS, and LineageOS are all right over on Android devices - alongside alternate app stores like F-Droid, Accrescent, and anonymous play store front ends like Aurora.
Let's not spread lies here, m'kay?
What lies did I say?
