That’s actually a nice silver lining ;)

Here are some graphs to visualize

Yeah linux runs on 30+ year old hardware

I’m waddling over!

To see where we’re at with the linux phone https://alexandrite.app/lemmy.ca/post/16514606.

The Linux phone has hit 0.01% oooof

I’m calling to arms linux desktop users to dip their toes into this space as we need all the support we can get

I’m part of that I just upgraded two of my pc’s to Linux.

I notice my resource usage dropped to half after switching.

The Linux kernel was supporting hardware that was 30 years old.

Gulps down maple syrup in support.

I just got a 11 year old thinkpad and installed linux mint on there. Now I can use linux anytime I want :)

Ubports is working on it now.

That’s why I like subbing to old phone communities as everyone gives each-other support in breathing in new life to their old gadgets.

Here’s a source that provides numbers on that:

Since the commercial launch of SIM cards three decades ago, approximately 4.5 billion SIM cards are sold and shipped each year industry-wide, accounting for more than 560,000 tons of carbon dioxide and 18,000+ tons of plastic waste annually.

Finally some good suggestions!

Lets say a pixel 3a.

Greater investor into electric car infrastructure should come second to public transit.

Plant based doesnt need to be mock meats. People can have lentils or beans for their protein substitute.

Plant based milk would thrive on the global market as most people are actually lactose intolerant.

It looked different from the formatting I did on my notes.

eSIM reduces plastic and shipping use.

Using older computers has to be weighed against the newly developed efficiencies in the latest cpus/gpus. Windows 11 is dropping computers that are like 4 years old. That is way too soon for perfectly good computers.

Synthetic cloths are used a lot currently so using microfibre filters is a stop gap measure until we have biodegradable cloths.

Oh shoot its out let’s go.

Don’t tell them but I need to keep tabs on Blaze :P
