@silverwizard This is a problem?

They aren't terrible as leftovers...

@mhoye `hostname -I`

@evan I'm not sure "worried" is the word. There are ongoing genocidal war crimes happening in Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Sudan and probably other places I'm not even hearing about. I'm glad there are people out there taking a stand to give a voice to the people in Gaza, but I'm not optimistic it'll help, and I'm very pessimistic that "Never again" is something we even take seriously anymore.

@silverwizard With any luck, the project will keep going like that until the hype curve hits the Trough of Disillusionment, and it can be safely cancelled without doing too much damage.

Geez. The thing that appealed to me about Google Glass (and North Focals) was the heads-up display, not the goddamn camera. I'm not a cop. I don't need a camera on my face.

@silverwizard fair enough.

@silverwizard if it's a ghost submarine, doesn't that technically mean it's a ghost boat, not a ghost ship?

@silverwizard Do they charge extra for clean-up, tho?

I should probably try VR sometime. The thing that's been holding me back all these years is the very real concern I'll just immediately puke all over the floor. 🤢

@silverwizard At least the SVPs get self-driving cars, so they can join meetings during their commute (and get hijacked by enterprising hacker PCs...)

@silverwizard You'd think the CEO would jack into his (inevitably his) in-office meat-puppet if he needed to actually be there...

@evan Working on it. (Although Ontario's grid is only 90% clean. And I can't really do my own solar...)

@silverwizard @mike The first step is admitting it. ?

@silverwizard @mike That only seems sensible, honestly...

@silverwizard @mike Like... all of it...?

Geez, I thought i was bad for accepting my friends' old books when they were decluttering...

@Gargron normally, I'd want to quote this and express to my followers that I'm happy it's being reconsidered and hope that people's concerns about the feature can also be addressed somehow.

Feels weird to have to address you directly.

@silverwizard @me "need"?

@silverwizard @me 8GB RAM, tho...

@silverwizard @me It's an unorthodox way to deal with shortages, but maybe I can get a Pi 4 now...?

@silverwizard Sadly, I don't think real computers actually do this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBAijg5Betw
