Get behind the community that is really fighting to curb climate change:

Poster announcing KDE Eco's monthly meetings, in which like-minded people, like yourself, get together to work on reducing computing's impact on the climate.

Screenshot of a headline of the Verge. A photo shows Satya Nadella talking about Copilot at some bullshit Microsoft event and the headline itself reads: "Microsoft’s Al obsession is jeopardizing its climate ambitions" The introductory paragraph reads: "After pledging to slash its greenhouse gas emissions, Microsoft’s climate pollution has grown by 30 percent as the company prioritizes AI."

    Old vs. new hardware is difficult. New hardware can also do the same with lower energy consumption.

    It’s impossible to calculate, but the tipping point would be where the saved energy surpasses the energy needed for producing and transporting the hardware.

    I’m quite sure that my raspi4 is more powerful, smaller, less noisy and requires less energy than my oldest computer.

    The thing is just that they rarely only improve the efficiency.
