Same here. Sounds pretty sustainable to me!

Of course the most productive comment is the least upvoted one. EDIT: After thinking about it, maybe it’s best to add an explanation to bare links.

Isn’t this treating the symptoms, not the cause? The real problem here seems to be that militaries and bad actors are killing people they obviously shouldn’t, but it feels like the article just accepts that as something that “downstream users” do.

I’m all for responsible software use, but I think the issue lies deeper than software licensing.

Makes sense. I never used Photoshop, so I don’t know how it compares. It’s been good enough for my needs so far.

If you’re still looking, try Krita, it’s a polished and powerful open source image manipulation program.

I doubt anybody is saying ‘screw global warming, I’ll be fine in a cpu.

You’d be surprised what the tech billionaires are saying right now. They are definitely not tackling the problems of today, but are creating new ones by the minute.

Probably because it ignores issues that are relevant right now in favor of some theoretical distant future which will probably never pan out.

Thank you! It’s very liberating, but also a little bit scary to be fully in control over your life.

I have been doing things because I think other people expect them, not because I actually want to do them. Now figuring out what I should cut out…

Links for the lazy:

I think techwontsave.us is want you didn’t know you want, but maybe you’ll enjoy it. It has some really interesting guests and topics.

I think it’s a little backwards that telemetry is so frowned upon in FOSS programs, because in my eyes they can benefit the most from usage data, as they don’t have the resources for large testing teams. But it needs to be implemented very carefully not to violate GDPR, the GPL license where applicable, etc, so I see why it’s a hard problem to solve.
