i think https://limited.systems/articles/frugal-computing/ 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.
