I've recently seen a trend in tech communities on lemmy where people have developed this mentality that computer hardware is as disposable as a compostable cup, and that after 10-15 years you should just chuck it in the bin and get something new. If someone asks for tech support, they'll just be told to buy new hardware. If someone is saddened their hardware is no longer supported by software they are just entitled, need to pull up their bootstraps, and "only" spend $100 to get something used that will also not be supported in 5 years. It doesn't matter if there is actual information out there that'll help them either. If the hardware is old, people will unanimously decide that nothing can be done.
I've seen this even in linux communities, what happened to people giving a damn about e-waste? Why is the solution always to just throw money at the problem? It's infuriating. I've half a mind to just block every tech/software community other than the ones on hexbear at this point.
IMO, this is less of a problem with the attitude of people and more of a problem of the logic of the whole computing sector. The idea that old parts will be deprecated in the future isn't just accepted, it's desired. The sector's goal is the fastest possible development, and development does happen. A graphics card from 15 years ago is, for all intents and purposes, a piece of electronic junk, 10 times slower and 5 times less energy efficient. This has to do with the extremely fast development of computer parts, which is the paradigm of the field.
In order to maintain 10-15 year-old parts, you'd have to stop or to slow the development speed of the sector. There are arguments to be made for that, especially from an environmental point of view, but as the sector is, you simply cannot expect there to be support for something working 10 times slower than contemporary counterparts.
