(Already posted some questions here regarding Local AI & Sustainability https://community.eco-compute.io/t/local-ai-and-sustainability-any-assessments-opinions-yet/37 #ecocompute #greenIT)
Local AI and sustainability - any assessments / opinions yet?
Will 2026 be the year of local AI use in coding, without subscription costs? And can we somehow use it to get a handle on environmental damage – or will it become even more inefficient and energy-intensive if everyone runs it on their own laptops instead of in well-cooled data centres? 🤔 These questions were brought to mind again today by this video from c’t 3003: ‘Local AI is now REALLY useful (and it runs on this hardware)’ (german) In the last year, I often read “Loc...

„Introducing the #ecoCompute Community Discourse!“ 🌱
#ecocompute #sustainabletech #greensoftware #communitybuilding | Eco-Compute.io
Introducing the ecoCompute Community Discourse! You might be wondering: Why another community? There are already so many great spaces out there like the Green Software Foundation, ClimateAction.tech CIC, and Bits & Bäume Netzwerk ... so what makes this one different? 💡Here’s why we created it: What’s Missing Elsewhere: - Language barriers: Not all communities are English-speaking. - Accessibility: Many are hidden behind account walls, making them less public and searchable. - Community-driven content: Few have active, organic contributions from their members. What We Built Instead: Born from the vibrant discussions at ecoCompute 2025 (see photos), this community is designed to be open, accessible, and driven by you. (Yes, we tried Reddit first—RIP our short-lived subreddit—but here we are, back and better! ;-)) What You Can Expect: ✅ Daily TL;DRs of ecoCompute 2025 conference talks: so you get the highlights without sifting through slide decks. ✅ Weekly curated updates on fresh papers and industry news not just reposts from other newsletters. We’re here to bring you unique insights. ✅ Quarterly mini online sessions to reconnect, share ideas, and hear bite-sized talks from the community. And this is just the beginning: As the community grows, so will its offerings with your input, ideas, and feedback. 🔗 Join us now: https://lnkd.in/dvYZEciH 💬 What would you like to see? P.S. If you prefer just conference updates, our newsletter is still the place for you. #ecoCompute #SustainableTech #GreenSoftware #CommunityBuilding
Ex-Kollegin/Bekannte schreibt gerade wie cool es auf #ecoCompute Konferenz in Berlin ist/war. 💚💚💚 Jetzt hab ich doch FoMo! Nein Spaß, Kräfte muss man sich einteilen. Nächstes Jahr steht es wieder auf meiner Wunschliste. 🤗
Gesellschaft für Informatik eV"Hardware is getting more efficient everyday. It's the software that's the problem." Damit hat @Karlitschek von @nextcloud auf den Punkt gebracht, was viele der Teilnehmenden der #ecoCompute umtreibt.
Noch heute tauscht sich die Community in Berlin über #GreenCoding und #GreenIT aus. Alle Infos zum Event gibts hier: https://www.eco-compute.io/
Bits&Bäume BewegungGestern war ein ereignisreicher Tag auf der #ecoCompute und wir wollen euch unsere B&B Highlights nicht vorenthalten. 💫
🌟 Eines unserer vielen Highlights war der Talk von Anne Mollen. Sie machte direkt klar: Der Diskurs um grüne KI wird von Big Tech vereinnahmt, was bestehende Machtstrukturen und den Status Quo unserer Gesellschaft manifestiert. Das verhindere letztlich, dass wir Nachhaltigkeitsziele erreichen können. Anne Mollen untermauerte in ihrem Talk 3 zentrale Thesen:
👉 Der Diskurs um Grüne KI dient als Ausrede, um mehr in KI zu investieren.
👉 Grüne KI legt nahe, dass Nachhaltigkeit von KI ein Technofix ist.
👉 Der Diskurs um Grüne KI wird verwendet, um unser Verständnis von Nachhaltigkeit einzugrenzen.
Am Ende appellierte sie, dass wir uns den Diskurs um Grüne KI wieder zurücknehmen müssen und Lösungen brauchen, die den Status Quo in Frage stellen. Nur so könnten wir echte Nachhaltigkeit erreichen.

Greetings from the #ecocompute conference in #Berlin
Wolfgang MaierThe decision of the #ecoCompute organizers to have a subreddit for the conference for discussions and for connecting participants doesn't seem to take off - no activity at all so far.
Don't know if things would be any better with #lemmy but then people could at least comment from whatever fediverse account they'd want to share with other participants.
To be very clear though, everything else around the conference seems organized outstandingly well to me.
