#FreeSoftware developer? Looking to measure the #energy consumption of your software in a dedicated lab? Can't make the trip to #Berlin to do so?
Karanjot Singh is working to change that!
This summer remote access to the #KDAB measurement lab will become a reality. Read more at the #KDEEco blog:

How can something immaterial like software have an #environmental footprint? What do ecolabels have to do with software design? Why do we ❤ Free Software today and every day ... also because it is sustainable software?
We explore these and other questions in #KDEEco's new measurement handbook "Applying The #BlueAngel Criteria To Free Software: A Handbook To Certify Software As #Sustainable".

209 followers · 21 posts · Server floss.socialSome e-waste statistics:
- "fastest-growing waste stream" (World Economic Forum)
- In 2016: 44.7 million tonnes generated = 4500 Eiffel towers
- By 2021: 57.4 million
- Less than 20% is collected/recycled
- 70% of landfill toxic waste is e-waste
- Production of smartphone = 80+% of CO2 emissions over a device's lifetime
When the right to repair includes software we can fight software-driven hardware obsolescence and bring these numbers down!

#KDE #software is many things: free, beautiful, performant, customizable. How about all of that plus #sustainable?
KDE adopts #SustainableSoftware as one of 3 overarching goals to focus on!
> Software has an impact on our future. It has an affect on #energy and #resource usage. KDE can deliver software which does this in a way which preserves #environment and society for us and future generations.
