Weekly Talk on FLOSS: Closing Act 10; No Longer a Lone Individual Operating from a Vehicle
In the latest episode of FLOSS Weekly Podcast, the discussion revolved around the intersection of open source software and environmentalism. The show, which can be found on Spotify and is being recorded live on YouTube, featured an interview with Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss.
One of the key topics discussed was the KDE Eco project, an initiative aimed at making open source software more sustainable. The KDE Eco project, which can be found at https://eco.kde.org/, focuses on promoting energy-efficient software technologies within open source environments. One example of this is KDE's move towards the Wayland display server protocol, which could potentially reduce energy consumption on user devices.
Another topic was the End of 10 campaign, a movement that encourages more sustainable software practices by discouraging unnecessary software version releases and efficiency improvements. The End of 10 campaign, found at https://endof10.org/, is a common approach in tech sectors to address resource use and e-waste, a significant environmental concern.
While the show discussed the End of 10 campaign, there was no direct mention of PewDiepie's involvement in the campaign. PewDiepie, a popular YouTuber known for entertainment content, is not currently associated with the KDE Eco project or the End of 10 campaign based on available information.
