Isn't it impressive that we in Brazil sometimes create the best and most simple solutions to problems, but no one will imitate us and will keep insisting in their problematic systems, because we are the third world and supposedly can't get anything right? It's sad when we end up replacing our own good things, because even we think we're inferior in everything and can't come up with a good solution for anything.

But how long will your storage media last? Will the technology required to read it still be available in 1500 years?

Welcome to the community!

If true, that's very interesting. A very practical result

No need to make things complicated. I'm from Brazil and I live everyday the consequences of having our data exposed out there by mismanagement and abuse:

There are criminals out there using our data in several ways, like extorting money, taking banking loans in your name, using your credit card online, etc etc etc. We can't rest in peace

Out of curiosity, is that true, or just your speculation? Are there public data of number of denials per day?

That if Wikipedia survives 1500 years. Digital media tends to be much more fragile than traditional ones in that aspect.

Well, that if we survive 1500 years, but I'll let that for another discussion.

Now everything makes sense

I lost all my data from my router trying to update it using the ui and had to reconfigure everything. I use linux for a long time, but openwrt is on another level

Sorry, I didn't know there was that annoyance in the article, because I use blockers. You can try using 12ft.io to read it, or maybe the reader mode if your browser has it.

For the curious ones wanting a non academic source, here's a very interesting read:

The "exclusively" part from the meme has apparently was added without a source, though.

Those threads are so funny. One day, we see people talking against planned obsolescence and the environmental impacts of the tech industry. The other day, the same people are cheering for removal of backwards compatibility and happy to throw away their stuff to buy new ones, and even making peer pressure on the ones who don't do the same so they feel "antiquated".

It's seriously the biggest waste of energy in human existence

Let's not forget cryptocurrency mining

I Upvoted just for the tapioca mention

About haiku, isn’t it still too experimental? Like for using websites, when it comes to security?

Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm not exactly a low end enthusiast, like doing it for fun, but I find myself around low end devices daily, from lack of alternatives, so I've been experimenting with software, trying to make the experience a bit better. To give a bit more of context, here's what I use:

I have a somewhat decent main computer (although it has some hardware issue that makes it unstable, but it's another topic), that I use with fedora and gnome, but I have a small 2 in 1 laptop that I use for writing and light web usage, shared with my gf. It has 2gb of ram and an atom z something cpu. It's currently running mx linux with 32-bit firefox, and runs better than one would expect, but still a bit slow. My mom has a mini pc with 4gb of ram and a celeron n30 something. It's running debian with xfce. The ram is fine, but I find it really slow. My sister has a laptop with the same ram and a very similar cpu, same situation, but it's currently running fedora with lxde (it had fedora with gnome before and was very very slow, so I suggested a change, but my sister insisted on keeping fedora, because she liked it. Surprisingly, the lxde version is much lighter than I expected). The worst machine is from my gf's brother. He enrolled in an online course and needed a pc for the classes, so he took one they had sitting in a corner. It has a pentium cpu (don't remember the model), 2gb of ram and came with windows 7, so I replaced with mx linux and it's running worse than before.

Even better if made with multiple ussr groups, including tech-savy and people who never installed an os before, as well as people already used to windows and linux.

I believe they mentioned the ram used by xfce, not the total system ram, but thank you for the recommendations, I'm really interested in software able to run in very low end hardware.

That's an interesting perspective. Do you think the same about lemmy? While also decentralized using the sameprotocol, it seems reasonably efficient to me. I'm from a small instance from my country, and the global content is easily available to me.

I just have a lot of trouble explaining how it works to people who aren't tech savy... this is what I consider the main issue withthe fediverse as a whole.
