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".

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

The trick with Android phones, I've found, is to charge wirelessly whenever you can. Otherwise the USB port does wear out quickly.

If you don't use Bing with Edge, Microsoft will tell you your computer needs repairing.

They are not wrong.

To mend your machine:

  1. Ditch Windows
  2. Install Plasma
  3. Your computer is ready.

A laptop running the laters version of Plasma, Plasma 6.

I have rescued several laptops that were struggling with Windows by installing Linux, and KDE Plasma is excellent these days. My 7 year old Dell XPS, which had become unusably slow and hot under Windows 11 despite repastes and cleaning, runs OpenSUSE Tumbleweed like it's a new machine.

I feel the same about KDE and Windows. I only keep Windows for some music production stuff and legacy .NET application maintenance. The rest of the time I avoid it and use Linux and KDE, a far more pleasant experience.

Pledges coming from proprietary software companies mean nothing

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

@kde

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."

    They just need "unless we can make more money in the short term by not doing it" appended to them. So, yes, they mean nothing.
