It's not about money. It's about using the planet in a responsible way. Unfortunately ruining the planet and harming many of its inhabitants is very cheap for many in industrialized countries.
- d3w4s9 3y agoAnswer the question, please. I am never going to waste time on things like compilation when the laptop next to it can do it faster, yet convince myself "oh but it is better for the planet". I don't know what kind of idiot does that. (Which is why I did not hesitate to replace my laptop when I found that a new laptop would be 1.5x-2x faster in everyday tasks.)
- usr1106 3y agoThe question has already been used in my first post: Fully usable for 99% of the users. > 99% of the users never use a compiler. Fully usable also means that you might have to adapt your your habits: Keeping many tabs open is just being unorganized for many users. For a programmer having to checking the documentation of many classes regularly, each of them on a different page it might be slightly different. But 99% are not developers. I am developer. When I build Yocto I am glad to have 32 or 64 GB available. When I travel (for fun) I am glad to be able to use 2 GB efficiently, without really suffering from ultra slow reponse times. A couple of seconds here and there have not spoiled my leisure time.
