@inquiline @SRLevine some thoughts: literal greenwashing? An appeal to the bathroom-clean-minimalist aesthetic of transparent glass tile on white? Invoking water? The weirdness of a black-on-matte-black Toronto #flosstodon is still with me. Is the os a grave? Or is it #flosstodon you mourn for?
mint is a good point @SRLevine . i was more thinking about the history of marketing hygiene. to me these colors look like they from, idk, early color print culture, advertising, and dupont and dow, but this is a vibes answer
@mirijb2 your horrifying invocation of the #flosstodon ost made me think of how (supposedly) black plastic is more likely to be made from e-waste. what if these flossers were motherboards?? we need someone who knows how to trace the supply chain! (hint: it's very very hard)
