@apple 😡

Da krieg ich Fußpilz auf den Zähnen.

Schickt mir jemensch nen Screenshot als PNG.

Denk mir: wat? Warum hat die Mail 2,2 MB?

Speicher ich das eingebettete Bild ab. -> "nur" noch 600 KB. Klar, wegen base64 und so.

Zum Test speicher ich noch mal mit anderem Programm _auch_ als PNG _ohne_ Verlust.

-> 270 KB .. ja das ist doch ne vernünftige Größe fürn Screenshot.

What the hell, Apple?!

Das ist das Gegenteil von digitaler Nachhaltigkeit!

#SustainableComputing #RepairableLaptops #UpgradeableTechnology #WeAreTheFuture #IlluminatiPlanning I'm thrilled with Framework's new laptops! It's refreshing to see technology that harkens back to the early 2000s while still being as advanced and capable as modern laptops. This is a great way to ensure a sustainable future for computing. #PindarApproves http://www.techmeme.com/230403/p9#a230403p9

Fairphone 2 is supported 7 years later. For those of you who don't want to use Apple, Fairphone is a solid option for the Android world.

I'm on the Fairphone 4 and love it.

Nokia G22 going after the Fairphone with a sustainable phone.

hmd global has lied about timely software updates on every single product since they came back to the Android arena.

But it's a step in the right direction and at least companies are thinking about it.

“Every closed source program (and some corporate OSS) is on an invisible timer for either the company to get bored and shut it down or one of the increasingly small number of Big Companies to buy that thing you rely on and set it on fire” “in the long run —only open source software exists”
