We have @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu [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. - Margaret Hammond and Grace Hopper must be rotating in their graves, 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 like a clockwork 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](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114873864980037941) 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.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PW3O2mqTn8)
