It's actually possible to melt down solar panels and remake them, but at the moment it's cheaper to make new panels.
Wind turbines have the problem of leaving huge amounts of plastic that cannot be recycled - that is usually just left to eventually become microplastics.
Steel reinforced concrete is pretty much harmless unless you run into it.
Meaningful quantities of oil takes millions of years to be produced - it appears that ~10,000 barrels of oil are produced a year in the entire earth.
Other fossil fuels like coal will never be produced again - as coal is from ancient massive forests that grew on top of the old wood, as fungi etc hadn't yet worked out how to break down wood.
The atmosphere has hit 427 ppm CO₂ and it's only going up.
It takes geological timescales for CO₂ levels to naturally significantly change. npub1lteytmkwe0d84tpngrt86e2ysh5wyh4cngl04cekfywx0732r20q7ynuyv GNU/翠星石 But you'll take it instead of installing GNU/Linux-libre won't you? npub1lteytmkwe0d84tpngrt86e2ysh5wyh4cngl04cekfywx0732r20q7ynuyv GNU/翠星石 I do wonder why there are no trillion dollar lawsuits from the copyright mafia against the "Open"AI for example. npub1lteytmkwe0d84tpngrt86e2ysh5wyh4cngl04cekfywx0732r20q7ynuyv GNU/翠星石 The air is the ground. npub1lteytmkwe0d84tpngrt86e2ysh5wyh4cngl04cekfywx0732r20q7ynuyv GNU/翠星石 Technically all the proprietary software can be replaced if there's no digital handcuffs, but that hasn't been done. npub1lteytmkwe0d84tpngrt86e2ysh5wyh4cngl04cekfywx0732r20q7ynuyv GNU/翠星石 Fairphone?

A couple of gold mines need >90 million liters of fresh water a day. npub1lteytmkwe0d84tpngrt86e2ysh5wyh4cngl04cekfywx0732r20q7ynuyv GNU/翠星石 Incendiary kind of Li-Ion are perfectly safe provided the cells have been correctly manufactured.
Duracells leak due to an intentionally defective design - even in the package before the listed expiry date.
Energizer's and random cheap Alkaline cells don't seem to leak unless left discharged in a device and the leak usually is minor and isn't too hard to clean up. npub1lteytmkwe0d84tpngrt86e2ysh5wyh4cngl04cekfywx0732r20q7ynuyv GNU/翠星石 Li-Ion battery packs have been dirt cheap for years and often are given away gratis after a small amount of use.
Those typically only store 5Wh-20Wh and have heavy losses due to typically having to boost ~3.2V to 5V or even to 12V or 20V.
20Wh doesn't seem like a lot of power, but that will light a somewhat bright LED for >24hr.
But 20Wh won't give more than an hour or two of runtime with most computers (of course the most power efficient CPUs are made useless by proprietary degeneracy).
Microprocessors like Arduino's or RP2040 will last a long time on 20Wh, but those aren't complete computers.
LiFePO₄ batteries are finally getting cheaper - ~1000Wh is available at a very good price, same as ~4000Wh, which would give a GNUbooted ThinkPad quite a good battery life.
Portable generators deliver a lot of power, but you need to keep fueling them up if you actually use them and most cheap models need servicing after only a few days or weeks of continuous runtime.
LiFePO₄ batteries combined with solar panels and a battery charger can be very competitive with a generator if you don't use much power - as appropriately specced, you can get a runtime that is indefinite with no fuel costs.
Unlike generators, you can actually slap some solar panels onto the balcony or veranda of an apartment if that area gets enough sun - but that's not allowed, as how dare you avoid paying power suppliers their scam prices. npub1lteytmkwe0d84tpngrt86e2ysh5wyh4cngl04cekfywx0732r20q7ynuyv GNU/翠星石 It means GNU IMP? npub1lteytmkwe0d84tpngrt86e2ysh5wyh4cngl04cekfywx0732r20q7ynuyv GNU/翠星石 Use BloatFE for a speedup; https://bloat.freesoftwareextremist.com npub1lteytmkwe0d84tpngrt86e2ysh5wyh4cngl04cekfywx0732r20q7ynuyv GNU/翠星石 Casuals. https://media.freesoftwareextremist.com/media/bd/36/76/bd36766707ee91ccf1be811f36e9717db36cffbe301ef014aa9ddb7842298abf.webp npub1lteytmkwe0d84tpngrt86e2ysh5wyh4cngl04cekfywx0732r20q7ynuyv GNU/翠星石 That's a lot of syntax - a lot more typing than GNU C;

They will indeed still have the recourse to take legal action against who signed the NDA (who shared the copy) and those who received the illegal copy of the software (the software could be easily be claimed to be a trade secret if a copy isn't provided without the signing of a NDA) with no copyright law.
There is generally little to nothing to learn from most proprietary programs, other than how not to write software.

The AGPLv3 does not force server operators to share source code - it just makes a condition of a license that modifications are only permitted if the author agrees to offer their modifications to those who do their computation on such server (the server operator even can choose to cease modifications forever and delete any modifications to comply with the AGPLv3 if they don't want to offer modifications to their users).
In the current world, there would be only a total loss and no gain for software if copyright was abolished, as companies would take every last copyleft free software program and make them proprietary.

It's not Tivotization, as if it was tivotized, the unsigned binary would still run, but other parts of the system would cease to function.
It's a case of digital handcuffs - the software won't run without a signature and you don't have the key and how the source code that probably mostly, but not completely corresponds, happens to be free software doesn't change anything - as the software is only practically useful to run on certain model DSPs. npub1lteytmkwe0d84tpngrt86e2ysh5wyh4cngl04cekfywx0732r20q7ynuyv GNU/翠星石 >if the software contains a signature meant to prevent users from enjoying those freedoms and that control, in the intended (possibly single) use scenario, would it be reasonable to say that the software is free?
The software is rendered proprietary by digital handcuffs in that case, which is something else to Tivotization.
What Tivo originally did was to provide the source code and installation information for all the free software - but make all the proprietary software stop running (you would have a DVR that could run VLC, but you couldn't run any of Tivo's proprietary software for the purposes of inspecting it/the RAM contents to see what spying it did and for its replacement) - which the GPLv2 does nothing about, as the GPLv2 doesn't contain any requirement to agree to not sabotage the execution of the system's aggregated software; https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2021/jul/23/tivoization-and-the-gpl-right-to-install/
Tivo later decided to intentionally infringe copyright by infringing the GPLv2 with future Tivo models, by refusing to provide the complete corresponding source code and installation information (the software was handcuffed - you needed a signing key for it to execute) and as a result, Tivotization is commonly confused with Tivo's GPLv2 infringement.
>I don't think the case of SOF is one of digital handcuffs.
It is a case of digital handcuffs - there is source code that is claimed to correspond to the binaries and it can be compiled into a binary - but you can't run it on most of the relevant sound cards, as you need a private key that Intel refuses to provide (the binary can be made to execute on some SBC's and certain chromebooks, as Intel has provided the private key, but of course other parts of those are handcuffed).
It isn't a case of Tivotization, as with the necessary private key, the user could install a free DSP program and all the software on the computer would continue to execute without any of the proprietary software ceasing to function. npub1lteytmkwe0d84tpngrt86e2ysh5wyh4cngl04cekfywx0732r20q7ynuyv GNU/翠星石 Tivoization isn't a problem with the free software - it's a problem related to the proprietary software ceasing to operate and therefore making it unreasonable or impossible to develop a free replacement.
