Blimey. Double-page ad in the Graun. In aid of something positive. At least it seems that way. WDYT? www.backmarket.co.uk/en-gb/end-fa... @backmarketofficial.bsky.social @backmarketeng.bsky.social #BackMarket

How many upgrades
do we have left?

Let's end fast tech.

Technology has never been more powerful, more innovative, and more advanced. So why are we so fast 1o upgrade every year?
It's time to break the cycle. To make engineered obsolescence obsolete

To reject overproduction and overconsumption. It's time to end fast tech

Cause that upgrade ends up in the rubbish in a year or three
And the next big thing" is really our soaring carbon footprint.
And maybe, just maybe, the best tech is the tech we already have
It's time to make a choice. To reuse, repair, and refurbish,
To dispose of our disposable mindset
To demand devices that are built to last and built to be repaired,
It's time to rethink the way we consume tech
It's time to downgrade now.
Long live technology.

Fast tech's race to upgrade bears a growing responsibility for the climate crisis. The digital industry accounts for 4% of total carbon emissions and is predicted to account for 14% by 2040. More at https://www.backmarket.co.uk/en-gb/end-fast-tech.

Hello Bluesky! Let's kick it off with a fun topic: the EU regulation called #DAC7. Never heard of it?
Now is the time to learn about it with this blog post: engineering.backmarket.com/compliance-c... on how #BackMarket is complying with this regulation! 📚🤓 With some #OpenSource #OSS of course!

Compliance, cooperation, and open-sourcing: DAC7

Open sourcing is an interesting response to the challenges of compliance. That is why we are releasing code we developed for DAC7.
