@hayley@social.applied-langua.ge There are so many problems with that linked take it's amazing.
First and foremost the complete ignorance of the inherent problems and power dynamics any and all server-centric design involves.
It is fundamentally anti-egalitarian and cannot be anything else (hierarchy is quite literally baked-in as a core assumption).
Also I'd much rather have a cozy apartment in a panelka in a rail-connected town in Northern Canada, one of the few places where halfway decent weather (basically never >25C) still exists.
Older thinkpads are the least awful of a generally awful form-factor. Portable/luggable computers are unambiguously superior in practically all aspects.
You still need a smart client/terminal anyway to use a server, so what's the point instead of just having independent computers with properly-written P2P programs that are optimized for resilient computing in harsh conditions with minimal resources & infrastructural assumptions (https://mastodon.top/@lispi314/111253066257920146)?
