Selenium automation for measuring software’s energy consumption?
@prady0t wants to guide you!
Read about his Season of KDE 2024 work on documentation for #Selenium AT-SPI, including video guides for the #KDE community.
“How Selenium Helps Build Sustainable Software (And More)”

Keep an eye here for the videos (coming soon)!

The underlying issue is part of why I avoid Electron (and similarly bloated) apps. I hope the drive for efficiency that was once a necessary part of software development once again takes hold.
I am always surprised about the amount of optimization we see in core components still today.
But yes, Electron, web tech, ads, blur, animations, are all the opposite.
Free Software is so damn political.
We need to bring Linux to the Offices, KDE and whatever Linux Distro you like needs to be there for the people to use.
Windows 11 will cause extreme piles of E-Waste. This is not tolerable.
I am so proud of the people in Schleswig-Holstein, my home state, to have switched to Linux in their Offices! This is such an important step against E-Waste, and all the Dependencies that Microsoft creates.

I would really love to see KDE Eco’s power optimization efforts combine with Plasma Mobile’s phone shell work so we can benefit both from longer battery life on #MobileLinux and at the same time get the environmental benefits, too!
