- Comment on How would you answer the "ecological" question on self hosting and federated networks ? 20 hours ago:
Hmm i get where your friend is coming from but he’s literally falling for the corporate bait lol. he’s talking about “efficiency” like it’s a physics equation but forgetting how these companies actually run.
first of all big data centers are “efficient” on paper but they waste half their energy just on cooling and massive hvac systems. a small server or a vps slice doesn’t have that industrial overhead. and more importantly—the e-waste. google and meta bin their servers every 3 years to keep that “efficiency” high. self-hosters are out here running mastodon on 10-year-old laptops that were headed for a landfill. reusing “obsolete” tech is way greener than building a brand new “optimized” server from scratch. also look at what they’re actually processing. google/meta are data gluttons—they’re burning megawatts just to track your every click and serve you ads. an “inefficient” federated node that only handles your actual messages is still way better for the planet than a “perfect” machine processing petabytes of surveillance crap. it’s like saying a bus is more efficient than a bike because it carries more people, but the bus is driving in circles for no reason. but honestly the efficiency argument is a total distraction. like okay cool maybe a massive machine is 5% more optimized… so what? we’re talking about the literal infrastructure of human freedom. if we don’t build these decentralized networks now and get used to hosting our own shit we are literally handing the keys of our entire lives to 3 or 4 giant corporations and the state.
Once they have total control over every byte you send and every person you talk to “environmental friendliness” is gonna be the absolute last thing on your mind. you’ll be living in a digital cage where you can’t even organize a protest or share an opinion without an algorithm deleting it. id rather have a “less efficient” network that actually belongs to us than a perfectly green digital gulag where we have zero rights.
Worrying about the carbon footprint of a home server while the world is sliding into techno-fascism is like worrying about the fuel efficiency of the bus taking you to a labor camp. it’s completely missing the point. if we don’t have the infrastructure to resist today we won’t have a future to be “green” in tomorrow.

It also very poor written of ui interface I was reverse engineering with idea why it so slow on HDD and slow rendering explorer.exe and start menu and pops of task bar.They written really really fucking bad code comparing to times over win 7,basically they just took old mfc and putted wrapper written with xaml to make it looking “nice”

- Comment on Is Android really the next big desktop operating system? 4 months ago:
Android will never be a serious desktop operating system, and the reasons are pretty fundamental. You don’t have admin rights by default, which means you can’t truly control your own machine the way you can with any real desktop OS. Everything has to go through Java interfaces in the end, even when you try to use the NDK for native code. There’s this constant layer of middleware sitting between you and what you actually want to do, adding overhead and limiting what’s really possible. Compare this to Linux, Windows, or macOS where applications can directly access system resources when needed. You can compile native code that runs at full speed without virtualization layers. You can modify system files, install kernel modules, and actually own your computing environment. Android treats you like a guest on your own device. But the real dealbreaker is the complete lack of proper driver support. Try plugging in a WiFi dongle, a professional scanner, a printer that isn’t mainstream, or a racing wheel. You simply can’t install drivers for custom devices the way you can on Windows, Linux, or macOS. Android’s driver model is closed and locked to specific devices, not open to the kind of hardware ecosystem that desktop users have always relied on. On a real desktop OS, manufacturers can write drivers, users can compile them, and the community can support obscure hardware for decades. Android doesn’t work that way and never will. The whole architecture was designed for mobile consumption, not desktop creation. Professional software needs low-level system access and real performance without layers of abstraction getting in the way. Desktop OSes give you real file systems you can navigate freely, package managers or installers that put files where they need to go, and proper background processes. Android hides all of this behind its sandboxed app model. People keep talking about Android on desktops, but bolting on some desktop features doesn’t fix these fundamental architectural problems. It’s a mobile OS, and that’s what it will always be.

Technically it possible with using windows server edition ,clean no bloatware ,minimum processes Legally cost a lot not available for usual users only in crack way
