hi @johl, i found the definition of #permacomputing really well put that you gave in https://blog.johl.io/permacomputing/: > Permacomputing is a term that combines “perma” — as in permaculture — with “computing,” signaling an effort to rethink digital technology not as a disposable commodity but as a domain that can be part of sustainable, cyclical, and regenerative practices. Instead of equating technological progress with ever-increasing performance, bigger infrastructures, and rapid replacement cycles, permacomputing asks how digital systems can exist within ecological and planetary limits and still remain meaningful and functional. I appreciate you publish your posts as cc0 and I think this can be a good description to succinctly introduce people to the concept. Thank you!

    @computersandblues @johl this is indeed a very succinct definition, impressive how hard those are to come by for most fields these days!
