I know how absurd this may sound but I think it’s still rationally true. We could remove all the bloat. There is a lot of bloat in modern systems that just causes unnecessary heat and energy consumption. I’m sure it adds up once we consider all the edge devices needing bigger lithium batteries and data centers needing air conditioning. I do exactly the same kind of computing today that I did in the early 90s. The devices got way faster and way more energy efficient but my experience is fundamentally the same. Boggles the mind.
