Try to ask "should we give 50 trillion USD to fight global warming?" Then most people LOVE money!

Yet another reason to use Linux everywhere. It is 2025 and Windows (and probably Mac) users have to deal with weird Unicode filesystem issues. Good luck puting Chinese characters or emoticons into filenames.

Ext4 filename has maximal length 255 characters. That is the only legacy limit you have to deal with as a Linux user. And even that can be avoided by using more modern filesystems.

And we get filesystem level snapshots etc...

For some people internet is like electricity (or even more important, I can go 10 hours without electricity with UPS). It is a baseline for consideration to even start.

How long it takes to upload 500GB video, dataset or docker images on 250/50mbps DSL line? 24 hours in theory! Like two days in reality!

On 1gbps it is 1.3 hours in theory, about 2 hours in practice!

I understand that most people do not need such connectivity, but for many people it is question of staying productive and profitable. I work in remote team, and we do share such data quite often.

DSL line is good as a backup, but it is useless. Perhaps I could deal with limited speed. But latency and throughput goes to hell when under load. I would have to pause all other traffic while making calls!

In Romania I have 4 plans in single flat. Fiber, ADSL, and two unlimited (like no speed throttle) 5G SIMs. About 90 euro monthly.

Working with docker images...

For start Germany needs better internet connectivity. Getting 1gbps symmetric fiber or 5G coverage is a scifi!

Even Romania has better infrastructure!
