#kdeeco — Public Fediverse posts

Wishing our community a very happy 29th birthday!

14 Oct is not only KDE's birthday, but also International #eWaste Day & the end of "free" support for #Windows10.

KDE is the organization behind #KDEEco with the goal of strengthening sustainability in the development & adoption of #FreeSoftware #OpenSource software.

KDE Eco's #OptGreen put the cross-community campaign #EndOf10 into motion at #SFSCon 2024.

Like to reduce the energy consumption of your software? Curious to learn how?

Come to Karanjot's talk "#KEcoLab: KDE's Automation Tool For #Energy ⚡ Consumption Measurements" at #Akademy in Berlin tomorrow (Sat)! 🚀

When: Sat. 6 Sept. from 11:25-12:05
Where: TU #Berlin, Room 2

https://conf.kde.org/event/9/contributions/263/

KEcoLab allows data-driven software development prioritizing #EnergyEfficiency, while making it easy to obtain reports needed to #EcoCertify software with the #BlueAngel!

#KDE #KDEEco #FOSS

Products tethered to manufacturer software creates #eWaste.

Free & Open Source Software and Open Hardware are a solution!

"Escaping the chains of tethered products: the #JuiceRescue project"

https://natematias.com/portfolio/2025-08-22-unchaining-from-broken-software-tethers/

Lessons learned:

* Tethered products cheat consumers out of products they paid for
* People can organize in powerful ways
* Governments can reduce the risks

> Laptops, Smartphones und andere Geräte werden schnell "alt". Dabei spielt Software eine große Rolle. Oft bekommst du nach 3-5 Jahren die Meldung, dass dein Gerät die Mindestanforderungen für das neuste Update nicht mehr erfüllt. Oder eine App, die du installieren willst, benötigt ein Update, das dein Gerät nicht unterstützt. Das ist ärgerlich, besonders wenn das Gerät eigentlich noch funktioniert.
