I was just reading about #frugalComputing and found myself thinking of #Precursor

It feels to me like it would be a good fit for something like #deltaChat

And now, our software boots up on our hardware prototype of the #SmolPhone The keyboard kinda works, too. More work in the future but OK for now.

The substrate is able to display a "modern" UI with buttons, text areas, labels, checkbox and such under the RP2040 constraints (about 200k of RAM but rather OK compute power).

The goal is to allow users to build apps with lua scripts, as in #Scrappy https://jrcpl.us/contrib/2025/Scrappy Maybe before the end of the year, if we're lucky.

Different reasons, but coincidentally, “What can I do with my laptop and existing data sets?" is basically the title of the research project I'm writing for my tenure. It's also what I've been trying to do in the last few years and where I want to be heading. #frugalmodelling #frugalcomputing #degrowth 🐌

Of course, funding science, especially climate science, is vital! I'd just advocate for hiring more people and write smarter models, rather than using larger computers.

Now, that 10x growth is not what OpenAI, Dell etc want. No, they want 100x growth.

For what that would mean:
