    Opt out? Opt in? Opt Green!

    50% of consumers buy new devices due to unsupported software, while the "tsunami of " continues to rise.

    can keep those devices in use and out of the landfill. Today!

    Say hello to the new project ": For Sustainable Hardware".

    https://eco.kde.org/blog/2024-05-29_introducing-ns4nh/

    You don't need new hardware for a secure, up-to-date device; you just need the right software!

    @MageInBlack @kde Some background: KDE Eco has funded projects supported by the KDE e.V. and community. The name is derived from the website eco.kde.org, originally created for the FOSS-oriented project "Blauer Engel For FOSS" (BE4FOSS). Since 2021 we've been in contact with many FOSS projects/communities as well as people working on measuring software's energy consumption, digital sustainability, etc. Much is still work in progress and as newsworthy things happen we make sure to post about it.
