I've heard of that. I'm saddened by it and have expanded who I buy my chargers from but I haven't outright stopped buying from Anker because they just make such high quality chargers with great warranties and customer service. I've used them for over a decade and have never had one of their chargers damage a device.

I kinda feel like there's almost no company without a morally questionable part of them somewhere. Which is very depressing. Even LTT themselves are having a scandal right now.

Our electronics are built with slave labor in all but name in 3rd world countries.

I don't like buying from Anker after that came out, and it did reduce how much I buy from them overall, but I still do sometimes. It is what it is.

Do the easiest part first to prove it can be done successfully. It's the pilot basically.

Who said I was ignoring all that? I'm well aware. But what the Fuck am I supposed to do about it?

I drive a hybrid, pickup litter, recycle, make most of my own food from scratch, and talk about how we need to do more (like with this tongue-in-cheek meme). I ain't in Congress (yet), but even if I was look how productive they're being towards this issue.

If we all work together the collapse is not just a dream.

Hoping to speed up the collapse I see lol.

I drive a hybrid.

I recycle everything I can.

I pickup litter.

I try to be as power efficient as possible.

I'm not a vegetarian but I don't eat meat everyday.

Plus, I post memes that stimulate conversation like this!

My laptop upgraded to Windows 11. It broke the headphone jack and built in speakers. The computer just doesn't detect them anymore. O⁠_⁠o

Think of the CHILDREN!

Sync users sharing a much requested feature in the sync community, oh noooooooo...

Or maybe there's a bunch of civilizations that are currently 10 million years into their timeline and just haven't reached us yet!

🥳

Oh man, Sync is just so great and only $20 to get no ads you should give it a try!

Play store link: Sync for Lemmy

Thanks for making Lemmy feel like home, it wouldn't without you!

The reality is it's a free world, regardless of what morality you put on things there are going to be things that happen that you don't like. That's life.

Like it or not Lemmy has had explosive growth because of apps like Sync. Because of them being killed off by Reddit. If it weren't for the drama of Reddit doing that, I and millions of other users wouldn't be here right now as we'd still be on Reddit.

Even people who weren't using the 3rd party apps left Reddit because Reddit's actions left a bad taste in their mouths.

So, morality of one guy charging for his honest work in creating the paid or ad supported app aside, you should be thanking the apps including sync for helping drive so many users to Lemmy.

If you yourself don't want to use a paid app, then that's okay! We're all allowed to respond or react to things how we want, but being incredibly divisive for something that a lot of people wanted and that really is inconsequential is almost universally frowned on.

Just let people do what they want and don't shoot them down for it. More options for browsing Lemmy = more Lemmings = more content.

Much love my dude! We may disagree on this but we agree on many many many more things I'm sure, just because we're on Lemmy instead of Reddit in the first place is proof of that! ✌️
