No really any useful information about this? In light of that, I bring you this: https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea Bubbletea is a pretty cool little framework for building terminal UIs. I really like this new

What I really want to see from new e-ink is better contrast! Last I knew e-ink color although impressive at first glance had really poor black/white contrast... and that's kind of everything when reading. I'm glad they improv

From what I've heard of Musk it does seem sometimes like he doesn't really know much about all the intricacies of running a social media platform with 200 million users world-wide. But what do I know! I'm not the one with 44

I'm in an instance with a couple thousand users, it's not very active. I think network effects are extremely important and eventually you have most people going into the biggest instances anyway. Though obviously this is still a p

There might be many factors involved in this. Not least of them, the influence of capitalist countries over alternative societies. Chile for example was crushed internally and externally when it tried to move away from the system they had a

Google is one of the biggest companies in the world, Chrome is used by millions of people around the world; it's the most popular browser. I'm guessing any new feature has to go through a really lengthy process of approval. Maybe

I'm still really angry they cancelled the OA, it might have not been the most popular show but I thought it was incredibly original and engaging... and it was clear the story had so much more to give. I wish they had, at least, given i

I'm not sure if things have changed significantly but I used to run Magisk to get SafetyNet on my devices.

Really? I thought bridgerton was extremely problematic. I mean, from a feminist perspective it shows women's dependency on marriage and it barely has a critique for it. The one character that outright critiques the practice still ends

I think you bring a very interesting point when you talk about how should so many different views be managed. Well, that's I think one of the most interesting problems in political philosophy. And people have been discussing it since,

I guess it depends on what you would consider is being "on the right" or "on the left". Personally I would consider Elon Musk very much economically right wing, and I think the question of ownership in the firm pertains

Equity gives you a share of the money pie, but it doesn't necessarily give you a share of the decision making pie. The problem that I raise isn't necessarily with the profitability of twitter, but with the decisions that are made

It is why I think we need to explore new ways of democratic control and decision making! Through technology there could be different solutions to the problem of representation. It is particularly interesting because twitter is so diverse, I

Governments and politicians need to reach people where people are. Though I agree it is extremely important for governments to have official state-owned channels of communication; we can't close our eyes and pretend like people don&#x2

I guess, but as someone else pointed out; the people who created twitter already greatly profited from the venture. I mean, Dorsey isn't part of the board anymore! In a way, I'm questioning more the IPO than anything else; I think

I find the question of ownership to be really interesting for a platform like twitter that relies, entirely, on user-generated content. It seems to me like share-holder ownership is pretty incapable of dealing with the complexities of being

I mean, that's the whole point of the metaverse, no? To create new markets where transactions go through the middle man that is Facebook. I guess it is sort of surprising that they want to take so much money from creators. 50% is a lot

CRUD apps don't take a lot of work to do and they usually solve real problems for small and mid size businesses in your area. That's a real business opportunity in most cities in the world. Not everyone needs to be Google.

It's just a joke :) I would rarely use mean to discuss societal distributions as they can be very misleading (good example of this is when you want to see average versus median income in unequal countries). Though I think IQ is bell-sh

When I was seeing Musk complaining about twitter I kept thinking: "you know, there are alternatives out there... they're just not popular". As you say, imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars in twitter stock he ha

Of course no one can speak for Musks intention in buying twitter. But what gives me sort of a really bad feel is the fact that he complained about twitter being bad (in his view, which many might agree or not) and so a solution seems to be

E-paper is a pretty similar experience in my opinion and personally I've read more books on my e-reader than I have through physical media. Love the little thing, I have a jailbroken Kindle Voyage with Koreader and it's the best e

Only half of the world is stupid, everyone else is pretty much above average intelligence. I think most people are not really aware of mastodon at all, I'm not sure how much of the problem has to do with the tooting and how much has to

Facebook is a particularly strange example. In most cases I am absolutely not surprised that companies will actively harm society to profit short-term, I mean, they have to increase profits for their shareholders who really and I really mea

A bit that I found particularly interesting is where it talks about what happened to krill (the whales food) when the whales disappeared. Krill didn't go up, as you'd expect from a normal prey-predator relationship but it went dow

Sounds like you're describing federated microblogging. There's mastodon or pleroma that you could check out.

It could be nice if access to education is equitable. In chile we also have grades + standardized test + ranking (your position versus your cohort). But the top universities are filled with the top alumni from expensive private schools beca

Do you think access to education is a human right? I find your last paragraph a bit troubling, I agree that becoming a part of the elite does not really have a significance with regards to your own worth. But the USA is not a country that r
