Do you know of any other articles or things along those lines? A partial regression or loss of capacity, but not a complete failure of the system? I'm curious about this concept.

That's a fair point and a well-written article.
It honestly makes me feel better about my job. I've got plenty of "slack." It means stuff gets done when it's asked for, not "as soon as I'm done with these other 3 fires I'll put yours out."
Guess I got lucky with my workplace.

Same. I've never really had a need to make timers.
I know where I'm going to look if I ever do.

This was a really interesting article. It makes a lot of sense. I think this mentality of permacomputing is largely hamstrung by the limited and ephemeral supply of chips that we've got.
This post tries to impose situations that would mitigate that reality, but I think we'd still be a far cry from manufacturing microchips in any appreciable numbers post-collapse. I really can't say whether or not we'd pull that off. I'm not educated enough on the concept to make a decent guess.
It's a good reminder for the future though that our computing time is likely limited in the long run if we don't shape up and run society better. :)

You aren't wrong there. Pine's stuff tends to be pretty barebones in terms of complete system capability first off. I don't mind that though, because I see Pine as a company with a few well-thought-out offerings that fill their own needs, and I'm happy to continue supporting them. Even if it means my tablet is a bit derpy for a while.

This guy spoke my mind. This is what I've been telling people in tech for years.
There's plenty of money in technology but do many jobs in that market -need- to exist? Heck no. They don't have a purpose other than to keep the rest of the cogs in the machine spinning.

This would make creating morale patches trivial. Very cool!

I was THIS close to getting a ReMarkable.
This is getting that cash instead. I love my Pinebook Pro.
All good suggestions.
The web dev inside me wants to make some others:
Sans-serif fonts
a favicon for browser tabs
basic CSS that allows for better formatting and quality of life. It doesn't have to be fancy. But seeing <p> tags extend all the way from one side of the viewport to the other is messy. It will distract people from the content they're reading.
