I love the phone, but I really hate the "ethical" framing of device repairability. This is an engineering problem and we don't need to twist it through a moral framework.
Phones that are repairable have superior engineering, not superior morality.
- malicka 12d agoIt’s both superior engineering-wise and morally. The moral framing is probably more popular with folks that don’t care about engineering superiority, too.

I often use a weak Kantian Imperative that I couch as "if everyone did what you do would it be good, sustainable?" as a _guide_ to moral choice, it's a starting point really, but from that I think moral superiority of more repairable goods follows.
