It's only a dumb rumor, but if this goes down we might as well turn off the lights on #gaming as we know it. Especially all the #Linux and #Proton goodness that #Valve has pushed forward.
Although some will be fortunate enough to escape the perils of MS #Recall and move to #Linux we have to accept for the vast majority this is either simply not allowed by their IT departments or not possible due to the heavy reliance and integration with other Microsoft products that aren’t truely available on Linux. Whilst we should embrace an uptake of Linux we should continue to fight for #privacy and just common sense in Windows.
I'm interested in hearing about any #Linux projects that are targeting #sustainability ping me if you know of anything. Stuff like this from KDE etc https://eco.kde.org/
@concretedog@fershad Hmm Most on the Software Sustainability Work I know is focused on the web and cloud. And to be honest the field is still in its early stages: e.g. there is “Blauer Engel” a German certificate for sustainable and environmentally friendly products. They added a category for software last year and here’s the complete list https://www.blauer-engel.de/de/produktwelt/ressourcen-und-energieeffiziente-softwareprodukte
Partly because nobody knew how to define or measure sustainability for SW
@concretedog@fershad You sort of see this also in different research groups focusing on SW sustainability. A lot of them are still working on benchmarking and measurement systems e.g. https://s2group.cs.vu.nl/pages/software/
But if you find something let me know. I’m interested as well :)
