Ah yes those powerless companies that have simply no choice but to destroy our biosphere.
It's not like they can use the money that they're currently using to lobby against environmental regulation and oversight for heavier oversight, regulations and *gasp* penalties instead... Yes it's literally impossible to take a principled stance at the expense of literally any amount of profit. Besides, who needs clean air and livable temperatures anyway?
No it must be the consumer who must wade through the sea of greenwashing and propaganda spread by companies who have no problem outright lying about their carbon emissions to everyone's faces. Because it's just so easy for everyone to know the complete supply chain of every product they buy. Simple really.
Edit: After looking through your comment history I can't help but think what you said was meant as more of a call to action for people rather than stepping to bat for multinationals as if they are helpless victims with no agency. Apologies if my comment came across as mean spirited I've just been on edge recently due to certain undisclosed life events. I'll keep my base comment as is for archival though.
This is a list of all the open source software I have come across and use frequently to semi frequently. There will likely be some overlap with stuff everyone has already posted.
DragGAN → Manipulate images by intuitively dragging, more on this here and here (official code being released this month but there are already projects based on the paper with working examples)
My current laptop (edit: used for for studio apps, 3D modeling and rendering, and AI stuff) draws 240W but I'd say it's an improvement over the 500W+ I would be drawing from a desktop that would have been in it's place. The performance isn't that competitive with desktop parts but the Perf/Watt definitely better.
Most people are just going to be using their phones and tablets to browse the web and watch videos anyway, with the odd Ultrabook here and there which are still pretty good in a Perf/Watt sense.

Compatibility with literally anything under the sun that can decompress a compressed file.

Photography and Image manipulation
3D modeling and Printing
Video editing and Processing
Misc
FOSS I'm excited for
IMO It's relative

Jevons paradox does come to mind though.
