We have @EUCommission [rightfully!] crack down on #cars and their #emissions by demanding ever lower #FleetEmissions and #FuelConsumption numbers but still accept #Bloatware like shitty #WebApps and #Windows11 to demand so much #WastefulComputing that it's painful.
- Like Margaret Hammond and Grace Hopper would be shaking their heads in agony, pointing out how they got people on the moon with less storage than the SPD-ROM on a RAM stick and how their programming language still runs #TradFinance respectably, but somehow sending text messages is too much for a machine that costs €499 yet has more computational power than all the machines they worked on combined.
#WastefulComputing like all those phat & enshittified messengers should be illegal.
- Espechally since they have 0 reason to be that resource intensive, even if we believe some of their security-focussed marketing lies.
