@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

Like even fucking #Bavaria of all places understands that... and as a pumpable and storable medium it'll allow for #EnergyStorage that is scalable (even if it means on "dark and non-windy days" someone's gonna fire up a "gas turbine" (which is essentially just a regular turbine but changing the state of fuel to gaseous to make it mix better and burn more efficient)...
This is like 6th grade biochemistry...
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.

In fact if #LithiumIonBatteries wouldn't be so prevalent they'd be as illegal as black-powder pipe bombs, because they can be even more dangerious...

Not to mention if #Lithium or #Cobalt were properly acknowledged as #ConflictMinerals and included in the #KimberleyConvention noone could produce #LithiumBatteries legally or even buy them...
