Computing to support life on Earth

Computing in the age of climate crisis is often wasteful and adds nothing useful to our real life communities. Here we try to find out how to change that.

I am thinking of going back to a not Google or Apple data collecting experience. Looking at the light phone 2 and a librem 11 for when I need a browser.

I'd recommend staying away from any Purism products. They've been doing some extremely shady and unethical stuff to people who've preordered their products. I always supported their mission of open-source Linux phones/tablets, but I've completely written them off as a company at this point.

Thanks. That's too bad.

Agreed.

#Purism has a gitea repo which was open to the public. A repo was created to track all the under-handed & dodgy things #DuckDuckGo was caught up in, archive the evidence, and demonstrate how effective their illusion of privacy is on people to inform the public. It was also to establish rationale to suggest that Purism eliminate DDG as a default search. Purism simply deleted the repo and contributors accounts without warning out of the blue, without explanation. Assholes.

There are Google-free Android builds out there.
