For many years I had been advocating for Linux distros to optimize for lower spec machines as their life times got extended. Best case, you head off potential hardware end of life, worst case you allow newer hardware to run more effciebtly. The latest shortage I didnt see coming, but it would have helped out regardless. Keeping old hardware going is vital nowadays, need to end the mind set of disposable goods.
The AI corporations owe us money. I fail to see why
we all have to pay more due to these greedy companies -
they should pay us compensation money for driving up
the prices here. In particular the US government is
helping drive these prices up as well - not just due to
AI situation, but also due to destroying part of the
energy supply lines via its bombing of Iran as well
as stock market manipulation. A mafia is pillaging all
of us here.
