minus-squarecomfy@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 months agoAfter looking around the demoscene, I know how enormous a few megabytes can be. Like @NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone said, that doesn’t mean much when most mainstream software is being made so inefficient and wasteful. If this were about making more affordable options, I’d rather we focus on refurbishing older laptops than making new lower-end ones.
