i think limited.systems/articles/fruga by @wim_v12e is one of the most important texts i read recently. even though its premise is grim - that "[b]y 2040 emissions from computing alone will be more than of half the emissions level acceptable to keep global warming below 1.5°C" - its promise is a very bright one. that by reducing, reusing, maintaining and recycling, everything old may become new again.

@computersandblues Thank you for reading! It is as you say, with business as usual it could be grim. So it's up to us to create the change that will avoid this.

@computersandblues Legislation & regulation to make e-waste incentivizing business practices will have to be part of it. Companies won't stop doing that shit without being forced to.

Regarding efficiency per watt though, I think we'll see purpose-specific & semi-analog accelerator hardware make a come-back more generally.

As for data centers, disposable servers must be stopped.
