I dunno, but I feel like "what if everything was this, all the time forever" is not a great strategy? Like, at any level.
Not great for the the service, or the product, or the producer, or the consumer. Not great for the people who use the thing. Not great for the people on whom the thing is used. Not great for the people who rely on the results of the thing. And definitely not great for society.
And in case it wasn't coming through, when I say "not great" I mean dog shit.
@jenniferplusplus "funnily" I just finished watching the Backrooms movie a few minutes ago, and looking at this picture gives me the same nauseated feeling as the place from the movie. "misremembering things" and all that. 🤢
They built the Torment Nexus before they even saw what it looked like.
Here are most specs for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 (Wide) and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.
including resolutions (Ultra gets a much higher res main display), battery life (only rated for 1200 cycles, wtf), RAM specs (up to 16GB/1TB on both) and more stuff like camera specs

“The true cost of Palantir’s FDP is much greater than £330m. Individual trusts have been given as much as £3m each to encourage implementation. Consultancy giant KPMG was even given an £8.5m contract to push the FDP across the health service.
Among the biggest challenges is Palantir’s own software. Foundry is a proprietary product. Some NHS data analysts told us that all their work on the FDP would be lost if they no longer had access to Palantir’s platform. This raises concerns over what many experts call “vendor lock in”. Once you start using a Silicon Valley tech company’s product, it can be very hard to move off it – even if you are dissatisfied with the service.”
It’s a scandal up there with PPE, and with Mandelson’s involvement in pushing it needs not just exiting the contract but an inquiry.

Tarvitsen uuden puhelimen, joten nyt on hyvä hetki kokeilla irtautumista Googlesta myös tässä suhteessa. Onko kellään myönteisiä tai kielteisiä kokemuksia, kuinka GrapheneOS toimii? Nordean, S-pankin ja Alisa Pankin pankkiyhteyssovellusten toimivuus mietityttää erityisesti.
Olen avoin muillekin vaihtoehdoille. Puhelimen hintaluokka 400 - 600 e, yksityisyysasiat pitäisi olla kunnossa ja yhdysvaltalaiset teknologiajätit eivät maistu.

@pallenberg der Mann is aber mal sowas von falsch abgebogen. Keine Ahnung was man davon halten soll. Ausser natürlich Abstand.

@alfredbaudisch appreciate the response, glad to hear it 😊 so few projects are prompt-free these days but those are the only ones I'd personally consider spending money on, so thanks for clarifying :)
@poprox Same, I agree :)

TODAY: We’re gathering in solidarity to discuss how you can take action to demand justice and accountability for Johan Sebastián Guerrero, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, and victims of the ICE death machine. https://www.mobilize.us/disappearedinamerica/event/987861/?utm_source=indivisible
We had an old friend over last night, who’s reached the very upper strata of the tech industry in California. It’s fascinating to observe what’s happened to his language after a few years there: everything is “vectors” and “surfaces.”
Someone more energetic than I could probably extract real insight from the evidently widespread geometricization of thought in the Valley, and how this particular choice of metaphors shapes the realities available to those deploying them…but it’s not going to be me, today.
Any suggestions of where I can find more on this.
I don't have enough frames-of-reference to know what you have observed.
