@Brendanjones one can argue but that arguing doesn't progress towards sustainability The basics of corporate cybernetics and logistics were solved by the late 1980. This very service, fosstodon, is not dissimilar in kind to usenet. If fun should make up a large chunk of our energy usage then we should admit that but blocking the easy things and failing to admit the issues are closer to the core is not a pathway to viable economies. It's pandering and virtue signaling.

@Brendanjones if you think that's bad why not extend this to tech at large? We've ported the same types of applications from desktops, to mobile platforms to web, and back again. The vast majority of applications today can be expressed in the data structures as invented in 70's/80's; when email was already at least decade old. We've gone from 15k developers in 1980 to 4 million in the US alone (30m globally) and account for 10-30% of the global usage for what exactly?
