REMEMBER: “Elon Musk admitted to his biographer that the reason the Hyperloop was announced—even tho he had no intention of pursuing it—was to try to disrupt the California high-speed rail project to get in the way of that actually succeeding.” — @parismarx in #Gizmodo

@tty woah, new camera? So lovely
Alley find, fixed and working 100%, for the price of a new needle (30$). Good to have my records back in my life. I love to find old tech that is better than new tech.

From 2019, how did I miss this Marxist analysis of gender, in the spirit of the cyborg manifesto. Worth reflection and perhaps fact checking?

Hit up a laconic Luigi, for some Kafkaesque game play.

Admins of the fediverse are already overloaded. They're about to be a lot more so.
I just bumped my monthly donation to @CobaltVelvet from $10 to $40 a month. Heck, Elon wants to start charging $20/month for blue ticks and my experience here is worth at least twice that.
If you like your instance, support your admin. They need it. And talk about it: people are known to be more likely to give money voluntarily if they find out their peers are.
And fellow octodon users, let's see if we can get @CobaltVelvet some real actual support. If you aren't donating, please donate!

The goal of consumer tech development used to be pretty simple: design and build something of value to people, giving them a reason to buy it. A new refrigerator is shiny, cuts down on my energy bills, makes cool-looking ice cubes. So I buy it. Done. A Roomba promises to vacuum the cat hair from under my sofa while I take a nap. Sold!
But this vision of tech is increasingly outdated. It’s not enough for a refrigerator to keep food cold; today’s version offers cameras and sensors that can monitor how and what I’m eating, while the Roomba can now send a map of my house to Amazon.
The issue here goes far beyond the obvious privacy risks. It’s a sea change in the entire model for innovation and the incentives that drive it. Why settle for a single profit-taking transaction for the company when you can instead design a product that will extract a monetizable data stream from every buyer, returning revenue to the company for years? Once you’ve captured that data stream, you’ll protect it, even to the disadvantage of your customer. After all, if you buy up enough of the market, you can well afford to endure your customers’ anger and frustration. Just ask Mark Zuckerberg.
