limpid Posted November 23, 2013 Administrator Share Posted November 23, 2013 How can you get away from it? It's a **** up world... You buy things which use open standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Yeah, we should all shop ethically as much as we can really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted November 23, 2013 Administrator Share Posted November 23, 2013 I'm not sure it's an ethical thing. If you want to avoid lock in, don't buy things which lock you in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegis Posted November 24, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 24, 2013 Very competent device at the time. Bare in mind that I was a big fan of this wich weighed in at about 400g. Simon even ran a mailinglist dedicated to it. 1996 baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted November 24, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 24, 2013 How can you get away from it? It's a **** up world... You buy things which use open standards. Sadly, and it is sadly, that's not remotely true. The same sweathshops and sweatshop conditions in which stuff for the likes of apple are made, also are used by manufacturers who put open source google software on, or Linux. It's a fair point to say to all of these multi billion businesses, that their, or their sub-contractors treatment of labour is not either ethical, or in accord with their so called branding. ANd it applies not just in tech, but in so many industries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was complaining about lock in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
