like i don't need messages instantly, i don't need notifications instantly, i don't need my web pages to be pretty just responsive
bc if you're against exploitation we're gonna have to move off of what makes a lot of these things fast but also have long battery life, i feel.
from the comments:
the slower your page is, the more likely it's less efficient than one using sightly more cpu. a balance to be struck.
personally I'm excited for the upcoming era, post-Moore's Law, where computers are no longer disposable because bloat makes them unusable after a few years for no real reason. You can easily get a decade out of most modern processors, flash storage wears out eventually but often lasts much longer than people need it to, especially if we deliberately step back to SLC. batteries will have to be regularly replaced for now but that can be designed into the device. underclock, optimize, simplify. A usable UI for e-ink would be fantastic, but even stuff like LTPO OLED with down-to-1Hz refresh rates help a lot, when used at reasonable brightness.
