Pledges coming from proprietary software companies mean nothing

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

#ecology #environment #emissions #microsoft

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."

    @kde @kde I'm legitimately getting annoyed by the widespread obsession with AI as it's not being used for the betterment of society. The original purpose of ChromeOS was to breath life into old laptops. That pledge comes from us all; slashing greenhouse gasses is done by using open-source OS's on older computers. Not new computers, but ones we already have.

    @kde @kde "AI-free" can become a feature if correctly advertised.

    Just installed Fedora 40 with KDE Plasma on an „old“ Mac that does not get macOS updates anymore. Works like it came with it installed. Thanks for enabling me to keep old hardware alive, secure, and fast.
