Tech journalists treat Mastodon like a corporate competitor, not a protocol. They’re so conditioned by the “5 corps in a trench coat” internet, they can’t grasp a decentralized web. The fediverse breaks their brain. 😆

Chinese firm Innoscience, founded by former NASA scientist Luo Weiwei, Innoscience has become the world’s largest dedicated GaN (gallium nitride) manufacturer, mastering mass production of 8-inch wafers—leapfrogging Western rivals.

Innoscience is both a commercial powerhouse and a strategic asset in the geopolitical tech war, even as U.S. restrictions loom.

China produces 98% of the world’s gallium and banned export to the US.

@beep Ironically, the phrase "America by Design" made me think of David Noble's book-length critique of the influence of corporate capitalism in the technology sector, titled America by Design: Science, Technology, and the Rise of Corporate Capitalism.

The book was published in 1977, so I guess that's another link that this initiative has to the Nixon era.
